The Silence Map

Asked on Super User by Tim, 4 years ago. No reply there for at least a week.

What is KB890830? It has been hanging since 2010 and now it is hanging on my Windows10 x64 PC in late 2021

Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool x64 - v5.95 (KB890830) Status: Installing - 0% Been that way now for a good 45 minutes. What causes the hang? I see postings from 2010 where the same issue is reported. Are the KB numbers recycled? P.S. Troubleshooter couldn't identify the problem.

This question is one of 1 report of the same problem:
