I had a update for windows defender fail when I tried it again worked ok. Now in my list of updates I show that it failed and then in was ok. Is there any way to removed the one in the list that shows failed.

Any particular reason why you want to remove it? -- SC Tom

The purpose of the logging and auditing is to show failures and successes. It's doing it right. The usual problem with updates failing to install is PFR's (Pending file renames.) http://mikesalsbury.com/tag/pending-file-rename/ A reboot will replace all the PFR's on shutdown, and then the next time the update is applied it succeeds. You should keep your log with all it's failures and successes, so you can track down a problem in the future if you need to. -- Andrew

Is there any way to removed the one in the list that shows failed. Here's an irreverent suggestion: don't start a new thread with "Re" in the subject line... It's harmless to have the entry in the log. -- Gene Bloch 650.366.4267 lettersatblochg.com
