Windows XP in update loop
- http://h-online.com/-1582649
23 May 2012 - "Users of Windows XP are reporting more problems with recent automatic updates. Three security updates for .NET Framework 2.0 and 3.5 are at the centre of the problem, labelled as patches KB2518664, KB2572073 and KB2633880 in Windows XP's automatic update feature.
On affected systems, the installation of these patches proceeds without error but after a short time, the update service says it would like to install them again and will keep reinstalling the patches if allowed. Microsoft's general advice in this situation is to reset Windows Update components*, though it has yet to offer any specific advice. It is interesting to note that the three patches in question were -not- released on Microsoft's official patch day."
