This post is not in reply to Ms. Bradley, but a post to share my experience with KB2670838.
I would like to ask Ms. Bradley to check the WindowsSecrets Forum, and PA Bear to look at other Forums and see that this update is causing more havoc than just stopping Browsers from running, and it is happening on more than just hybrids, my machine is a Desktop.
Here are two at SevenForums:
Platform update (KB2670838) for Windows 7
IE10 for Windows 7 Globally Available for Consumers and Businesses
Users are unsure whether or not KB2670838 is a pre-requisit for IE10 on their 7 machines. I installed it before installing IE10, and when I did install IE10 there was a short check at the beginning for "updates", No doubt IE10 would've installed KB2670838, "silently".
I would like to try and understand why this update has an effect on a call for a file through MS's IE10 browser, my machine run fine, my browsers run fine except for this one feature in IE10. Can either of you explain why?
I tried to un-install it, but it hung at "Preparing Desktop" and I had to pull the plug to shut it down to restart.
My post, a copy of what can be found here:

I finally ran into a problem with Platform update KB2670838 and IE10
Other than the problem I am going to describe I have had no other problems with my machine, IE10, FF19 or Opera12.14 and I would like to solve this or else I will have to perform a system restore. With this being a new update I have not found a match to my problem here or on the web.
The problem has to do with managing attachments here on SevenForums.
When I click on the browse button if I want to upload a screenshot or picture to a post I am making here on SevenForums the resulting Open File window only shows 6 of the 32 picture folders I have in my Pictures Library, 81% of the Folders are missing.
- All of my Documents are listed.
- All of my Music is listed.
- All of my Videos are listed.
- But 26 folders in Libraries\Pictures are missing.
This behavior only occurs in IE10, whether or not it is in
Enhanced Protection Mode.
In FF19 and Opera12.14 everything is there.
- All of my Documents are listed.
- All of my Music is listed.
- All of my Pictures are listed.
- All of my Videos are listed.
- I have gone through Control Panel\All Control Panel Items\Default Programs to see if there were any changes to the IE settings, but IE looked okay.
- I checked Properties\Securities for the four Libraries and they are the same.
- I also went over the Tools\Internet Options\Advance Tab settings in IE10 and they look okay to.
Would it have to do with security, and the fact that
Manage attachments opens a new window?
Any Ideas? I'm stumped.
Any ideas Ms. Bradley, PA Bear??
