About this tag
The tag 'unimportant updates' refers to optional or non-critical Windows updates that users may encounter alongside important updates. In a forum thread, a user reports that after uninstalling StartIsBack, Windows Update shows 5 important and 4 unimportant updates, but the Control Panel crashes or freezes when attempting to install them. Troubleshooting steps attempted include running CCleaner and Malwarebytes, booting into safe mode, and using System Restore, which resulted in an error. This tag is used to discuss issues related to identifying and managing optional updates within Windows Update, particularly when system problems prevent their installation.
