Updates keep getting offered after successful installs

Hi all,

On more than 1 occassion I have been offered an update immediately after I had successfully installed it (as confirmed in update history). I would venture to say that in about 50% of the times the update is no longer offered a second time after I reboot(whether or not instructed to by Vista). However, that still leaves me with plenty of occassions where I have to install the same update 2 or 3 times to be sure "it took" and the fact that this happens at all lol

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hello Viviand,

Welcome to the Vista Forums.

Next time that happens, instead of downloading and installing the updates again, try clicking on the check for updates button on the left of WU. See if this updates WU or still finds that you need the updates.

Re: Updates keep getting offered after successful installs

As a matter of fact I do every time I install an update. As I mentionned in 50% of the times the update is not offered after I check for updates (even though I am being offered it). The rest of the time I reboot and check again and I am still offered the same update I installed.
