Resolved Why do MS keep uploading KB4023057?

I've lost count of the number of times that this has been updated. Installed correctly every time but still the saga goes on ...

August and September 2018, January, February and March 2019. Could be more but didn't check any further.

This must be kept updated in order to receive Windows 10 Updates without problems. Plus there is a new upgrade scheduled for April 2019 which will bring the operating system to version 1903.

 

Thx. Makes sense, once you read that!

 

There are several updates that use the same KB number and therefore are run repeatedly. While they may appear to be the exact same update, they are not. For example, Windows Defender "definition" updates all use KB2267602. I'm showing 50 of those in my update history. And Windows Defender "program" updates often use the same number too (KB4052623). The Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 uses KB890830 for all its updates.

So the fact you see the same number does not mean it is the exact same update trying to run over and over again. In this case, and like those I mention above, it just means the update has been updated to address recent changes to Windows itself, and therefore those same tasks need to be run again because of those changes in Windows itself.

It is not because there was something wrong with the initial release. It is because Windows itself has been updated (modified) several times over the months, so that KB needs to be run again. No doubt it will need to be run again some time down the road as Windows continues to evolve.

In other words, all is good.

Thanks Bill. Much appreciated: always good to have some idea of any background processes.

 

Absolutely! No harm in checking things out.
