Latest update blocks IE9

When I install the latest Windows update (Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems [KB2719177]) and then reboot, it blocks IE9 and makes it freeze while loading, so that I am unable to access the internet. When I restore to a point before the update installation, IE9 works fine again. I am running Win 7 Home Premium 64.

*and I'm not illiterate. For some reason this forum keeps spelling my title with "blockes."

Please update your system specs and provide the model of your HP computer.

church,

Here's how to update those specs. They will travel with you and always be available to us at each and every post. Very handy and very necessary.

Update your SevenForums System Specs
User CP (located on the top menu bar) |
Your Profile | Edit System Spec (left-hand column)

To gather info, use Speccy (my favorite) or SIW or System Info

In the System Manufacturer Block, enter:
Manufacturer and Model and
ADD the word laptop, desktop, netbook or tablet.
For example:
Toshiba Satellite L305D notebook.

Provide full windows version info, for example:
MS Windows 7 Ultimate SP1 64-bit

Use the “Other Info” block for Optical Reader,
Mouse, touchpad, wifi adapter, speakers, monitor, etc

Scroll down and click on SAVE CHANGES.

You will find that in Speccy, you can select info from the display
using your mouse/touchpad and then paste that info into your specs.

SIW is a marvelous program, but the free version does not offer
this capability.

church,

carry out following and upload the resulting computerinfo.txt file.

church,
The script is the part in the box that is scrollable.

You copy and paste the entire script into PowerShell.

COMPUTERINFO.TXT is saved on the desktop. You only need to copy the script, and then right-click in PowerShell to execute it.

It doesn't appear the Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems [KB2719177] isn't blocking access to IE9, unless you picked up a bit of malware, perhaps?
