I have Vista Ultimate and I have updates set to "Check for updates but let
me choose". I did not authorize this and there is no record of this update
on the MS website.

What is it and how do I remove the changes before it completes with a
reboot?

Thanks for your reply but that is about the only thing that offers any
explanation but does no apply to me.

I rebooted 3 hours ago and have only put in a 'USB try fro testing,

But the question still remains:
1. What is it?
2. Why is it automatically installing?
3. Why is there no notice on the MS sites?
4. How do I kill it before I have to reboot again?

Doesn't anyone else get unnerved when MS ignores my "Prompt me first"
message and force feeds the update, particularly with no info on the MS
site?

This update was initially rolled out some time ago, MS Kernal-Mode Driver
Framework 1.9
I have no explanation as to why your 'notify' failed
There doesnt appear to be any KB article on this update

I beg to differ with you.


I also received the same download. Unauthorized. I have my system in a
permanent 4 hour boot delay until I can get some answers.

The knowledge base number KB970158 was in a link to the microsoft site (I
checked view in the update list on the pending update) and the microsoft site
has no record of this download. Other details are: Kernel-Mode Driver
Framework. Sorry, but the Yahoo site said Zune is the culprit. I do not have
Zune on my system. So forget what you saw on Yahoo. They don't know what they
are talking about, and I am appalled that anyone in a Microsoft forum would
give someone a link to Yahoo!

I sent an email help request to Microsoft, and I am still waiting on a
reply. I set a restore point in case WU decides to reboot my computer without
my permission too! I have also posted this problem to the Aumha forum and so
far, after 5 hours, no answer.

So please don't think that there is "no such update", since it has happened
to someone else, and I know that it came from the MS WU! Unfortunately, even
though I have mine set to notify and allow me to choose..it made the decision
for me. Now I have to do a lot of detective work to find out why and what it
is before I can reboot my computer.

Billkalbo, you are not losing your mind, nor are you alone on this issue.
