Updates installing/integration problem (v1.2)

[Skraelos]

Hello there!

Well, according to search results this problem was already discussed, but still it's not rly solved yet.

When I try cutting off even the minor junk AND integrating updates, I get a reboot-loop saying "configuring updates: stage 3 of 3" after the installation. If I do not integrate updates with the same build it installs correctly, but right after I turn on automatic updates and reboot pc, it starts this loop anyway.

I've tryed to keep almost everything and now I'm cutting only such minor junk like languages, drivers and hardware support only - keeping all that major junk like uac, protector etc.

What's the problem? If the problem was in one of the updates then it would solve itself by not integrating it, but still even if I don't integrate, windows update should find updates only for needed things, and even if it does find some updates that cannot be installed, it should give me an error, not a system-killing reboot-loop.

Any ideas?

This preset installs correctly, but when I launch win update and it finds 18 updates, asks for reboot, and after reboot there goes this infinite rebooting-loop

Same problem, luckily I decided to keep System Restore so I've been able to go back to a restore point prior to using Windows Update.

I'm in the process of trying to figure out which update is causing the problem by doing only a few updates at a time. If I figure out which update I'll let you know.

Anyway, here's my Last Session.ini:

UPDATE:

I didn't try KB890830, KB905866, or KB943729 because I don't want them.

KB952709 did a few reboots but decided on it's own to give up and return my system back to it's prior to KB952709 state. I suspect that had there been other updates trying to install at the same time this one may cause the dreaded endless reboot. There may be a chance that the ones I didn't even try cause it.

Aside from what I've listed above, there are no remaining updates.
