Last night windows updated itself with some kernel drivers related patches and as a result today morning my Windows 7 won't even boot in safe mode.
It tried to repair itself, but no good
Root cause found:
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
a patch is preventing the system from startingRepair action: System files integrity check and repair
Result: Failed. Error code = 0x4005
I know which updates it installed, particularly I want to remove KB2160329 and KB981852. All I can get is Console...
Any ideas how to remove those updates?
You've fortunately got plenty of answers addressing this issue. So I'll leave here my own bit of slightly unrelated recommendation: Despite general advise, do not let Windows automatically update your system. Try to establish a monthly routine, or something similar in which you do manual updates through Windows Update. It won't entirely remove problems like this, but will greatly reduce the odds of them happening again. You will still be able to keep an updated system (to the month) and a more stable one. Do not necessarily trust automatic updates to be bug free. They aren't. – A Dwarf – 2011-07-11T22:41:14.470
