Solved Updates: Good or Bad?

A while ago on my desktop Vista I was installing some updates. After I restarted the computer, it went straight to startup repair. I used system restore to restore to a point before I installed the updates. My computer worked fine. Thinking it hadn't been the updates that had caused the problem, I updated again but with the same results. This has also happned on other computers of mine. Ever since then, I have never installed a single update. I am wondering if this is a good idea or not. Any help would be appreciated.

I understand your problem. One way to avoid problems with updates is to install one at a time. If multiple updates are installed and several of them require a restart a conflict may occur.

If you decide not to install the upadates, do install the security updates; the protential problems are greater by not installing.

Do you Know which update that you were trying to install??

Wow, it was so long ago I can't even remember

Hello hyperlinx.


Do as Rich suggested and select, one at a time which updates you want to install; change the settings at control panel, Windows Update, left pane change settings; also have a look at the tutorial at the link below.
