It might be worth having a check on what other software/hardware to see if that's the culprit rather than assuming it's MS ?
I have a Kodak easyshare printer dock which has to be used with the associated Kodak EasyShare software.
I eventually discovered that the Kodak software has a problem that causes a certain windows update to "rollback".
The update is presented and installs OK but then the Kodak software causes it to rollback a few minutes later.
The result is that windows keeps presenting/installing the same update over and over again
Kodak will not respond to my request for solutions/advice despite there being plenty of evidence around pointing to the easyshare software as the problem. Perhaps it's just as telling that they've not even responded saying it's not their software/they know of no problem.....
I no longer use the printer dock and have removed the easyshare software.
Since then all updates have worked without any problems.
But I can't use the printer dock as they don't offer a "driver only" option.
