It's really a piece of junk!!! Microsoft seems to force people to use this window live essential 2011. I installed because it said it's important and kept giving an reminder.. then problem followed, consistently popped out several error messages every 20 minutes!! now I uninstalled but the reminder for " important update", which is 156 MB of window live essential 2011 always there, totally annoying. Can someone please tell me how to get rid of that update, it's auto downloaded but I don't know where is the file, the reminder keeps asking me to install it,

NO!!! I don't want it, period.

20 Oct 2010 ? Is this honestly the latest update?

I am writing this on 17 Jan 2012 - and if anyone is monitoring this, Windows Live Mail continues to be a disaster!

Is Windows Live Essentials 2011 still offered as an optional/recommended update through Microsoft Update? I have performed several clean installs of Windows 7, both 32-bit/64-bit, ranging from Home Premium to Ultimate versions over the past year and I haven't seen Windows Live Essentials 2011 being offered through Microsoft Update for at least 6 months now. Yes, these are Windows 7 systems that do NOT have any Windows Live programs installed. And yes, I know I can manually download the Windows Live Essentials 2011 web installer but that still doesn't explain why I haven't seen Windows Live Essentials 2011 being offered through Microsoft Update for quite sometime now.

Yes, I have installed Microsoft Update. I have also checked "Give me updates for Microsoft Products and check for new optional Microsoft software" in Windows Update settings. No, there are NO Windows Live Essentials programs installed. No, Microsoft Office and Microsoft Security Essentials are NOT installed. Silverlight is installed. Remember, these are clean installs of Windows 7 that I have performed on new systems. These are same Windows Update/Microsoft Update settings that I have applied/installed using Microsoft Update prior to 6 months ago and Microsoft Update did offer Windows Live Essentials prior to that. It has only been in the last 6 months or so that I have not seen Windows Live Essentials being offered on Microsoft Update. The reiterate, the following conditions apply,

1.These all have been clean installs of Windows 7, no upgrades from a previous OS.

2.Microsoft Update has been successfully installed.

3.All available updates have been installed via Microsoft Update/Windows Update.

4.Windows Live Essentials has not been previously installed nor hidden via Microsoft Update/Windows Update.

5.The systems are clean, no malware/spyware/viruses.

6.These are end-consumer systems, therefore Windows Server Update Services is not installed nor used.

7.The Windows Live Essentials installer has not been pre-installed.

Thanks,

ZZaR

microsoft update updated and updated and updated and updated...it put several "important updates" on my computer several times. There are updates that were put on 7 or 8 times!! They are in my update history files, stating they were indeed put on my computer successfully, but they were put on over and over and over and over!! Several dates are listed for these updates as being updated and were successfully installed. OMG!! I don't even know what I have or don't have as I look in my add and remove for updates because there are so-so many of them. The thing is, they don't show they are duplicated. My computer is now slow, my DHCP is "Enabled" causing IP address issues. I don't have or am not networking or need my ethernet network adapter, but the stinking thing feels it is needed, my computer can't come up with an address have the time. My computer looses it's connection and the DCHP thing is so confused everytime it goes online. I just want it back the way it was. I have no room left for these frameworks and security updates when they are applied 7 or 8 times. I don't think I really needed most of them. I can't get rid of all the extra updates cause add and rem. stopped me from uninstalling them. I was only following thier instructions on what to do when updates are mistakenly installed several times. repeatedly duplicated. I want microsoft to service my computer!! I'm serious!! Their updates, security updates, firewall rules, and all the patches needed to correct all their holes in all thier operating systems, have seriously taken over MY COMPUTER!! I bought it, iand they screwed it up!! I can't afford to have it serviced, or have the time to read all the knowledge files put out by them for every patch/hole. TOO MANY TECHS TELLING TOO MANY OTHER TECHS HOW TO FIX OTHER TECHS TICS!!!!
