ok that was not fun. Installed the Kb 3001652 on Windows 8.1- (4 machines )no problem (btw you will not see this if you do not have ms office installed), now installed it all by itself. I do all updates in small bunches just in case but this one all by itself, well it seemed to install fine, asked for a reboot then the fun began. Windows 7 Pro sp1 came to login screen, put in my info and it opened but all the icons were blank and worse I could do nothing! Completely locked up, Control Alt Delete 2x nada!, so I shut it down and of course saw the famous black screen- well I picked Safe Mode, booted into that fine, I was going to uninstall it but I could not find it with all the other ms updates, so I prayed and rebooted in reg mode. She went in fine, so far all is well but I have 40 machines of clients to update remotely. This is my main business machine. It seemed to go fine on another test windows 7 pro one too, had same problem though. But I did it on another test Windows 7 Pro I have , It failed in the middle and it was so bad I had to do a system restore to get windows back, otherwise I would have had to reformat it, removing the update did NOTHING.
This is going to be hidden on all Windows 7 Pro machines until Microsoft figures this out.
it is amazing how it goes fine for Windows 8.1, I had no problems with it on there, is Microsoft trying to tell us something about Windows 7?
I got 5 for office 2007 just not that particular kb#
Yes slowly killing win-7 one update at a time.
The last two months might make me a conspiracy theorist. I've had little trouble with WU through the years but last month had a fail, and yesterday KB3032622 failed the first time I tried to install.
I received the Visual Studios update. What was it exactly for?
No it is not only Windows 7, one of my machines was Windows 8.1 and it just kept trying to install the update until about 3 hours later it finally got done.
