April 12th 2016 Security Update Release for Windows

You don`t have to prepare or even research it, Microsoft has done that for us, just highlite the update, then click on more information and the description page pops right up.

I just look at it this way, if we are gonna wait 6 to 8 hours for updates to show up (LOL) what`s another few minutes finding out what each one`s for, I mean there are only multiple updates on Tuesdays anyway, the rest of the week it`s just MSE definitions.

Just my thoughts, everyone has their own system. :)

But I think 5583 is the main W10 culprit.

But yes you have to be diligent with 2664 too.

Of course but the information can be vague.
I have installed at least 3 "important" updates in the past few months that have caused system file errors.
So this is why I image before updating even important updates and do an sfc /scannow after. If the sfc fails I revert to the previous image. This has never been a problem until ~ the last 12 months.

I hear that :)

"I have installed at least 3 "important" updates in the past few months that have caused system file errors."

Did you write them down ? So I could look into them, see if they are on my do not install list ?

Still pondering why on earth a Russian time zone is a Important update

Oh forgot Microsoft is asking for issues with this round on win-10

I guess they could care a less about how win-7 is affected :)

The only ones you should truly be concerned with are security updates, and they too must be analyzed 1st.

I accept them outright if stated as important. I'm not prepared to "research" every important update.
If things go south I have a number of system images to revert to. I can go back 6 months+ if needed.

I don't do updates any more for weeks, and my PC is working great. This works for me, perhaps not for you, we all have different set ups

I saw that one :).
I guess it is important for Russians. I gather they had new time zone changes.
