What is the update for? Once you start going into the past with updates you'll find that there will be some that are superseded by something already installed or that that update was crap and no longer supported for install. Hard to say but overall, I wouldn't worry about it.

Hi guys, i would like to know something which you may or not know already.I did a clean install of windows 7 on my pc and tho 90% of the updates were successfully, a few of them failed.I tried everything possible to re-run them to find out that actually they were installed.In update history there are 2 logs of those who failed.One with failed status and one with installed.Does anyone know why?

ps: i did try a manual install and for all of them it says "the updated is already installed" so i guess the update history is not wrong

Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.

True, they were some old updates, some security ones and those for net framework 3.5.I guess you are right
