Windows Update wont stop!??!!

My automatic updates just keep popping up and downloading and installing the
same security update. There are no errors amd it says its successful every
time but then the shield just pops up again to reinstall the same update.

Hi Ryan,

Follow the steps to fix the issue

Ryan,

Are you getting the same update over and over again for "Security Update
for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)?" I have also
been getting that for some time now.

Muzafar,

I am more than a little iffy about renaming Subfolders folders of my
Windows folder. You say "Hopefully that will fix the issue," I am just
curious as to what exactly those folders contain. I am just looking for more
information, and while I have no problem editing subfolders for video games,
my OS is something I am more nervous about.

These folders contain the windows update history.its always recommended to
rename the folders when update are being reoffered. However you issue is
different .

You can follow the article to fix the issue with Microsoft XML Core Services
4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)

Muzafar,

Yeah, I actually just found that thread in another search I did. Thanks
for your help though!

I have been experiencing the VERY SAME problem! Did you try Muzafar's
solution? That sounds pretty involved for the true neophyte I be. This
problem arose a few months ago for me, then I shut down the "automatic
update" option. (not the right answer) It's doing the same thing now.
