BSOD for some with KB 2859537?

Hi:

As OP from original thread has marked it as "solved" and as the KB # is not in the subject line, I thought I might take the liberty of starting a new thread.

I have updated one of 3 rigs (older Win7/64 DT), including KB 2859537, with no issues so far.

However, it seems some folks are experiencing serious issues with this patch.

KB2859537 BSOD - Microsoft Community
And robinb9 mentions here seeing something at MS update forum?
(Link, please?)

Now that I do see significant issues popping up here and elsewhere, I am reluctant to install this patch, pending more info from M$.

Anyone else having problems?

Thanks!

I saw it same website, do not install it, there are two other threads here, same problem, rose uninstalled it, problem went away
I am not installing it on my other machines and the one I did install it on I am going to turn it on and see if I have this problem, but I have ie9. On it. I am wondering if it has something to do with ie 10 on it. I will report back once I turn it on
But to tell you the truth I am not going to play Russian roulette and take that chance

Moxie on the computer where there are no issues. Do you have ie9 or 10?
.

Btw I installed this update on 3 windows 8 computers and 2 windows 8 tablets. No problem
Seems to be a windows 7 issue only

>>Still running IE9 on all rigs.
I knew some Win7 folks were having problems updating to IE10 (NoelDP had mentioned some time ago that M$ would be issuing a "fixed" installer?)
Moreover, my security suite (KIS2013) also had known issues with IE 10 on Win7/64 (supposedly now patched & fixed for sure with 2014 versions being released now).
So, I was planning to upgrade to IE10 only after upgrading to KIS2014, hoping that MS would have fixed their issues with it by then.

>>Do you have the link to the MS Updates forum thread you mentioned?
(I would like to follow that topic...)

I am about to update my other 2 boxes (Win7/64/IE9 DT and Win7/32/IE9 LT), but will NOT install KB2859537 until this is sorted.

GEEZ, this is the 2nd time in the past 3-4 months that M$ has released a "bad" patch.

I suspect you might be right -- they are probably doing their most intensive testing on Win8, and are being sloppy about Vista/7/XP.

the ms update forum is the exact link you posted here, that is where i saw it and if you look at it again (refresh the page) and i plan to post what i am about to put here, there are more with the same issue

I checked my windows 7 pro 64bit which does NOT have ie 10 (i found too many problems trying to install it on several ie 7 machines, i think it is actually made for windows 8), it did not have this problem but I uninstalled the kb anyway just in case but:

I just purchased a windows 7 pro 64 bit computer for a business client of mine. The computer is 1 week old. It is in my lab right now getting all its needed programs and updates, I plan to bring it to the client next week.
I installed 46 Windows updates on it prior to yesterdays. This Optiplex came with ie 10 installed already.
I did the updates yesterday. After looking at the posts here and on the Windows Update Forum site I decided to turn it on this morning. I had shut it down after I did the last update and reboot.
I was planning on turning it on this afternoon to work on it anyway

When I turned it on, everything was crawling along. IE 10 just sat there loading. Office 2010 sp2 took 10 minutes to load
Firefox would not load at all.
So i went and uninstalled the KB
After the reboot I prayed- mind you this is a brand new machine!!!
IE 10 now opens fine, Office opens fine and Firefox loads
And everything else seems fine

this is where i always go to check windows update issues besides here

Since the 1 box restarted fine and seems OK, I am going to wait for a while before UNinstalling 2859537. (If it ain't broke....).

Rather than hiding it, I think I will leave it set up for notifications-only for now, as well, as a reminder to check periodically for a patched version (or to see if M$ pulls it altogether, pending a fix).

What a hassle!!!

PS The other 10 updates went in fine on the other DT. About to tackle the LT.

my other ones went fine too, but to tell you the truth i have found that uninstalling it on the one it had no problems, i am noticing things moving a bit faster, i am typing from that one now. Better to be safe then sorry
