KB3134814 update to IE11 installs W10 Icon
Today I just upgraded from IE10 to IE11 on two laptops, having seen that IE10 is not supported since January. After updating I ran Windows update, and an Important update to IE11 appeared - KB3134814. I installed it and restarted and immediately the Windows 10 icon appeared in my task bar (I have been rid of it for months until now).
So I checked in installed updates to go and remove it and noticed that KB3141092 had also been installed - not something that had been offered or ticked it just appeared along with KB3134814. I googled to see what 3141092 is and apparently it is for Windows 8! (Both our laptops are Windows 7) and is installed by the back door and is causing issues apparently. So I uninstalled it, hoping the Windows 10 Icon would go. Restarted and Windows 10 icon still there.
So I then went to uninstall the Important IE11 update KB 3134814 and my computer is now frozen shutting down on the screen saying "Preparing to configure Windows..Do not turn off your computer".
So it seems to me that KB3134814 - the 'Important' update for Windows 11, is not safe to install and also installs the Windows 10 icon. I had also upgraded our other laptop to IE11 but had not yet done the update, and that one is fine and no Windows 10 icon and no unexpected KB3141092.
I am writing this on the still working laptop and have decided to turn the other one off and try restarting. It is restarting and teling me it is at update operation 19266 of 19266.
It has restarted now, but the Windows 10 Icon is still there and KB3134814 is still in the list of installed updates, so it seems it doesn't want to be uninstalled. Am going to try doing a system restore now.
In the restore points were about 4 items for Windows modules installers (about 4 of them). I just restored back to the latest critical update which included one of the entries for Windows modules installer. Windows 10 icon still there.
So have gone back to the previous critical update (before any of the listings for Windows module installer, whatever that is). Anything before that was not done today.
