Hello. In mid-August, I tried to install the updates for the Windows August update. A lot of the updates failed, except for a few, and my computer seems fine. I then read that lots of people had issues with their computer. I just wanted to figure out if I should uninstall some them, and if so, which ones. Here is a list of all succeeded updates since August:


  • KB2975719 (re-released)
  • KB2993651
  • KB2979500
  • KB2978742
  • KB2976627
  • KB2976897
  • KB2978668
  • KB2966826
  • KB2981655
  • KB2966828
  • KB2982794
  • KB2976978
  • KB2971239
  • KB2981580
  • KB2982791
  • KB2918614
  • KB2967917

If you could help clear the confusion that would be great. Thanks.

The 5719 re-release if fine. You don't appear to have any of the others.

Edit: Whoops you do have 2791. Kind of up to you if everything is working fine I might not mess with it.
