I received this optional update on 9/8...I believe. I didn't install it because it said optional. Today I checked my HP Support system for any new updates and have the critical/important updates for internet security and Microsoft updates. I decided to first investigate KB2984006 and hit 'more information' to get the details. In the article Microsoft recommends installing this update......so I guess it is important. Well, I have run into a problem. It has a prerequisite to first install 2919355 update April 2014. I checked by installed updates to see if I already have it installed. It is installed on my laptop, date installed 3/18/2014, not an April date. I checked Microsoft website and couldn't find this listed to update with an April date or listed at all. I'm confused and bewildered. I don't know what to do. I need one of the many experts on this site for help. This senior citizen is wiped out.

Ok. From that page I linked you can manually download and install it. Yes?
I did what it suggested to get the April 2919355 but it just didn't work. I also posted this problem a couple days later on the windows 8 forum. Alphanumeric replied and with his suggestion was able to install the update successfully about an hour ago. I also successfully installed the other important updates.
Thank you, HippsieGypsie, for your help. It's now 2:30 A.M. so I'm going to go to bed and hopefully get a good night's rest.

After trying and not succeeding to install 4006 even manually it showed up in my optional updates again even after hiding it before that when I didn't manage to do it and this time it downloaded and installed without problem. My guess is that MS changed something meanwhile. Now, update cleanup works again too.
