Col, I have the notification for Win 10 on my taskbar. I've accepted it and apparently Win 10 will download on the 29th of July, then I can install it.

All currently supported versions of Windows are affected and will receive the fix via Windows Update.

He has XP..........so, not him then :lol:

windows 10 will be released in waves - imagine the strain on the servers if 1 Million machines did a 3gb download all at once it would grind everything to a halt - the back bone of the internet would just at saturated and downloads and uploads would slow to a crawl

Sorted now, thanks everyone: I turned updates back on before closing the PC last night and it was there again this morning, I noted the number of the update and after downloading it, it invited me to install it, I told it to do that and then was asked to download it again. this happened at least four times and so I googled the number (KB890830) and it seems that there have been many similar problems with this particular update number.

I can't now remember the exact sequence of events that led to it eventually installing (nothing fancy) but I later checked mrt.exe and it is now showing July 2015 instead of June 2015.

Another month and I can do it all again. ::b :mrgreen:
