MS still needs to pull its finger out and address this. I’ve tweeted their Microsoft helps to alert them. Not that it’ll make much difference. Prob get a canned response telling me to reinstall
Windows!!!

I just installed 1909 by way of WU and it seems that they have addressed the continuous download and reinstall of the MSRT November 2019 (KB890830 Malicious Software Removal Tool)

By the way, before this was fixed, they did pull a finger out and it is the one next to the ring finger that is longer.

Can confirm it is fixed as well. No longer showing when checking for updates.

Definitely. I was messing around with the show/hide updates workaround and when I went to un-hide the MSRT update, it was gone even from the tool.

When I initially installed 1909 and rebooted, the MSRT kept coming back, so I hid it with the show/hide cabinet file tool and then I went to look for it in the tool and it was gone there too.

So has anybody figured out if the multiple installs caused any damage?

The only damage I noted is that it failed to install over itself until they fixed it, so it would be interesting if it did install more than once to make note of the KB and watch for any news of ill effects.
