would increase the time taken to create the image, and would reduce the number of images on a finite external hard drive, thus reducing how far back in time I could go. ( 103 MBytes till yesterday, Perhaps 1000 MBytes after this week's update.) to cripple it, so I wait until removal of the obsolete junk. Then for two weeks I want to create a further disc image so I can immediately recover if I cripple my own system,īUT I am less likely than M.$.
CCLEANER DOWNLOAD WINDOWS UPDATE
I archive a disc image before I allow M.$ to dump a Security update on me, so I can immediately recover if their "fix" should cripple the system. They have now gone after hanging around for 13 days.
This stuff may not cause a problem, but it causes extreme aggravation, and I wish to avoid the problem or minimise the delay.ġ03 MBytes of obsolete junk were still present after 11 days. Doing this on all my systems never caused a problem so far. But this is part of my regular monthly cleanup sequence. I don't know when Windows decides to clean up this SoftwareDistribution folder. to break their latest promises, and dump regardless, I guess I will then add M.$. Since then I use "Turn OFF Automatic Updates", and only switch to Notify when I have made a fresh backup.Īny day now I expect M.$. broke the rules and did a secret download and installation, with absolutely no prior nor subsequent warning nor notification,Īnd System Administrators had no chance to take back-up precautions, and some had drastic system failures as a result of this M.$ virus.

Like many people, I fear that the next Patch Update will damage my system, so until last year I set Automatic Updates to Notify ONLY. breaking my system with unexpected updates, but does "Turn OFF" also delay or disable the purging of obsolete files ? (I am now wondering what was so special about the Sept 2009 patch that its index/whatever file is so large.)įinally (for now), I have set Automatic Updates to "Turn OFF".ĭo I need to weaken my defence against M.$ errors by setting it to "Notify" ? There are 30 months without such a file - I may have missed a few Patch Tuesdays, but not that many.ĭoes Windows have a 40% failure rate at deleting these files ? Total size is 10 MBytes, most of which is in the 7.5 MByte file that came on the Sept 2009 Patch Tuesday.Īll these files have 40 character names, and they have at least one month between them. This folder also has 18 off 40 character named files.
CCLEANER DOWNLOAD WINDOWS INSTALL
There is also 2.5 MBytes in 4 folders that were modified in 20Ĭould they be the result of a patch that failed to install ? Would I be lucky if I disconnect from Internet time sources and set the date forward one month and reboot the computer a few times ? Is there anything I can do to accelerate this process ? My experience is that most such dumps usually go away eventually when Windows decides to purge. This was successfully installed, so why did it not go away immediately? On a security patch update dumped in the download folder :-ġ03 MBytes in 9 sub-folders with 32 character names e.g.
