ARRGGHH
Anyway, I decide to install my folks PC to a fresh SSD, not usually much of an issue, I've done it with several PCs in the past year, things went swimmingly.
This time not so, I appear to be caught in a black hole of windows updates.
After the initial install, and addition of motherboard chipsets drivers, I ran windows updates, installed the first couple of batches, then the windows 7 Home premium SP1, again through windows updates, now on each reboot a seemingly endless stream of windows updates are being offered.
Within each section some fail, some are not needed, and worse, when 'configuring' some fail, and a changes are reverted.
This is most perplexing.
I assume some updates override others but for some bizarre reason Microsoft seemed t have stopped telling windows update which to offer first, allowing all, including conflicting ones, which then revert so no ground is made.
Am I alone in this recent change to windows updates madness?
