Hi Matija
I have the same problem but your suggestion didn't work for me. The only
difference I can see is I do not have SystemRoot folder. SoftwareDistribution
is found in C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution. I keep getting this VM update
everyday no matter how many times I install! I did have it hidden but
foolishly chose restore hidden updates. I can't now see any option for hiding
this update again. Can you help Pleeease.
Regards Garry
