I noticed over the last few days the updater was downloading and installing Security Update for Microsoft XML Core Services 4.0 Service Pack 2 (KB936181)

every time log turn of my pc.



Was wonder if any one can tell me why or tell me how to stop this problem.

Could you please open "Control Panel", choose "Programes and features", click "View Installed Updates" in the left pane, then check whether KB936181 has been installed.

If it has been installed, please uninstall it and go to Microsoft website to download this update and manually install it.

If it not, please go to Microsoft website to download this update and manually install it.

Used the 'Unlocker' tool and was able to delete it. still, I have this issue since KB951847 for framework 3.5 was trying to install.

After that, updates for Defender also failed.
