Hello,

In the past 4 days, two updates have been repeatedly recurring in Windows Update on my laptop. The two updates that keep recurring are:
- KB2656351: Security Update for Microsoft .NET Framework 4http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28570
- KB2600071: Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Reliability Update 2 http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28936
I’ve checked back in my Windows Update history and over the past 4 days (4/12/2013 up until now, 4/16/2013) it says both of these updates were installed “successfully” 15 times each.

I’ve googled this issue and got hits at this Community:
- Two updates KB2656351 and KB2600217 are repeatedly re-offering to - Microsoft Communityhttp://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/two-updates-kb2656351-and-kb2600217-are-repeatedly/f155de82-3976-4c15-a878-58dff4c2b9b7

- Windows updates KB2656251 &amp KB2600217 keep installing but then - Microsoft Communityhttp://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/windows-updates-kb2656251-kb2600217-keep/48fc8fcc-8a1e-4c39-9f8a-ecbd7e37be6f


These are the suggested solutions I‘ve tried which have all proven to be not working:
- Downloading the updates through the above mentioned links and installing them manually.
- Microsoft Fixit. I tried several links, which all provided different executables. I don’t know if it’s helpful, but here are their names:
MicrosoftFixit.wu.LB.37289439780134050.2.1.Run.exeMicrosoftFixit.wu.LB.38289570954353808.2.1.Run.exeMicrosoftFixit.wu.RNP.38289472762370635.1.1.Run.exe(I‘m guessing wu stands for Windows Update)
- Removing the downloaded install fileshttp://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_other-windows_update/windows-update-keeps-downloading-the-same-update/fb2b4421-f48f-4294-9eb5-4503a6b4408c

Please help!
