So I pushed this recently and have mass failure after reboot. From what I can tell, it is failing because it is still showing relevant. Here’s an example of the Action Script Execution Detail:

Completed

prefetch Windows6.1-KB2904266-x64.msu sha1:c3f48147754e89dc690c0468890c1978b51fb5a3 size:879174 http://download.microsoft.com/download/0/8/0/08082D25-BD40-47DA-9CBE-E1046769E047/Windows6.1-KB2904266-x64.msu sha256:792a29191fc80b6a5200ab1f3b0d0939977f6d68deb78a7cc4244958f49420fd

Completed

// Is Windows Update service running?

Completed

continue if {exists running service “wuauserv” OR NOT exists service “wuauserv” whose (start type of it = “disabled”)}

Completed

waithidden “{pathname of system folder & “\wusa.exe”}” “{pathname of client folder of current site & “__Download\Windows6.1-KB2904266-x64.msu”}” /quiet /norestart

Completed

action requires restart “c3f48147754e89dc690c0468890c1978b51fb5a3”

When I break down the relevance, it appears to be showing true because the file version of tzupd.exe (in c:\windows\servicing\gc64) is 6.1.7601.17514 and it is checking for it to be >= 6.1.7601.17000 and < 6.1.7601.17647.

I show the update as installed, so I uninstalled it and then manually installed the patch. I ran the relevance again and it still shows True. Help? :slight_smile:

I should note that it’s the Win7 x64 version
