Security update downs systems worldwide. http://www.bit-tech.net/news/bits/2013/04/12/ms-patch-crash/1
Oh I have that installed haven't noticed anything stange happening if they recommend uninstalling it i'll get rid.
Ironically those ppl who get the restart crash bug will never see this post and most likely reinstall and some maybe just dump all data for a fresh install on their single HDD just to download the update again lol shame... M$ tsk tsk tsk
I think I have experienced this bug. Shutting down works fine, but pressing restart causes the system to hang just before starting up again, requiring a hard reset.
add and remove programs / view installed updates (top left) / uninstall the update. if you can't boot see if you can get in via safe mode
Hmm, uninstalled the update, although I hadn't seen any errant behaviour, and rebooted, Checked for updates and 2823324 was offered (file date April 9th) so I installed it without issue. So what gives? Has Microsoft already fixed the problem?
Not so far as I'm aware: the knowledge base entry still lists it as having been removed pending investigation. That said, I don't have a Windows box I can check on. It's possible that Windows Update has cached the update - did it seem to take little to no time to download the second time you installed it?
It's already been installed on several machines both at home and at work. No issues so far. I see no point in removing the patch from those machines. I suspect such issues are relatively rare otherwise they wouldn't get through Microsoft's testing. The possible variations in hardware and software in Windows PCs has got to be some mind-numbingly massive number.
Thanks for the info Bit-Tech! That faulty patch would've loaded on my next reboot. I've removed it from the list for now.
Can't even get the update on if I wanted to. kb2808735, kb2813170, kb2823324, kb2799926 updates keep failing getting error code: 800736B3 Only on those 4, uninstalled all of the previous months updates that went back on fine, just the most recent 4 didn't. Anyone else had this?
Yes, tried both the MS fixit thing and the System Update Readiness Tool, the fixit tool says it fixes something until I restart and it fixes the same thing again :s Don't really fancy poking around in my registry to do it manually either.
Hmm. Running both Kaspersky IS2013 and the patch (file date 10/4) on Windows 7 64 bit no problems at all.
