Notify to download already downloaded Windows Update

[Vishal Gupta]

Guys!
I'm facing strange problem...
I downloaded 25 windows updates approx after installing SP2.
the latest downloaded windows update was KB 890859.
When windows completed installing this update, after restarting i changed the Boot Screen to one of my favorite boot screens.
Everything was fine.
But when I restarted the comp after sometime, windows again notified me to download same update KB 890859, although I had already downloaded & installed it.
It again & again happened, whenever I change the Boot screen to other one.
Now I hv the default boot screen & windows is not notifying me about this update.
So the problem is related to Boot screen.
Whenever i change it, windows notify me to download that particular update.
Its very irritating.
Is there ne solution for it?

Yep, I think its an update relating to boot security, dont download it (Unless absolutely necessary.)

Wait , Does the update replace yr boot scrn ?

 

[Vishal Gupta]

Yes!
It replaces the boot screen every time, i install it.
But the problem is that after replacing the boot screen, it always notify me to download the update again.
What to do then?
I can't disable Automatic Update, cauz then it'll not notify me for other updates in future.
Its irritating...

Yep, I think its an update relating to boot security

see here... whats MS says... this is a must install update... & why the boot screen changes as

What is the scope of the vulnerability?

This is a privilege elevation vulnerability. An attacker who successfully exploited this vulnerability could take complete control of an affected system, including installing programs; viewing, changing, or deleting data; or creating new accounts that have full privileges. To attempt to exploit the vulnerability, an attacker must be able to log on locally to the system.

as u replace the Boot screen file with an unknown file... so this system searches for this update....

It means I'll be not able to change the boot screen ever?
cauz whenever i'll try to change it, windows'll notify me to download the update...

change the boot screen with a file which has a sign of MS... then i think the update wont b needed....

but again is there any other BOOT screen with MS sign apart from winXP defoult....??

I found a solution for it...

Just opened the ntoskrnl.exe file in Resourse Hacker, copied the Version Information part and pasted it in the hacked ntoskrnl.exe file, then simply replaced the original file with the hacked one.
Now windows is not notifing me to d/l that update again.
May be because now the version of hacked file is also the same as of the original one...
