[what]Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB976902)

[Phone Man]

Today it came thru my official updates on my Windows7 x86, but shows unmarked, so I consider it's an optional update not realy neded. I always hide this kind of unmarked updates, to never recive notification. Hoever may be I'm rong and this kind of updates are need it.

The reason some updates are unchecked is because they may conflict with other updates being installed at the same time. I always installed those alone.

According to the KB article, YES you need it for service packs.

I've installed & checked first the kb976902 (also installed on the Oct 27, 2010) before checking boxes the others update. Didn't need to reboot (not asked to but did it), then installed kb2454826 & kb2451910, rebooted then applyed the kb890830.

So far since october everything is fine, and my balls are great!

I don't mind being spyed, i'm on legit system...thus this one is for SP1 future install, that's from what i readed before applying this Windows Update kb976902...just a matter of reading what MS tells, no?.

I'm spyed for my good...

I don't know if it was this specific update or one of the others, but after the Tuesday updates I now have a delayed Windows 7 start when booting. When I boot up and after the BIOS screen, Windows 7 would stat to load immediately. Now, I get a flashing cursor and blank screen for about 30 seconds before Windows starts to load.

I tried System Restore and it could not complete.

I think the paranoid users over reacted when MS released that update in October but did not release the KB article. In their paranoid mines they thought MS was pulling a sneak attack, when in fact is was a simple mistake of not publishing the KB article in a timely manner. The update was pulled and has now been released along with the article.
SP1 should be out soon and this update is needed to install SP1.

Hey Fireberd - Sorry to hear about that.

Sometimes when the System Restore will not complete when run from within Windows you can use the F8 at boot to get the Windows Boot Menu, and then choose "Last Good Configuration" to restore.

Hope that helps.

Here is my 2 cents.

Thanks for all the information everybody. I normally check on the ones that say "Cannot be removed" It sounds like it's okay huh? I will wait one more day and install it. Sound like you will need it for SPs.

All the best to my old (and new) friends here at sevenforums

Is there a significance to this update (976902) arriving unchecked?

If it's an Optional or Recommended update, why is it not grouped in that area?
If it's not Optional, why is it unchecked in Important Updates?

 

[alphanumeric]

I believe its unchecked because it has to be installed separately, from the other updates shown.

It needs to be installed separately since it is an update to the software that installs updates.

Thanks All.

By the way...this kb976902 does exist since quite a while...it was either installed on my machine back in Oct 27, 2010...i think many of us already have this update without clearly remember it.

 

[alphanumeric]

Yes it was prematurely released on windows update. The kilobyte article that goes with it wasn't up on the net yet either. When people went looking to see what it was they got a page cannot be found. Then they discovered it couldn't be uninstalled in the normal fashion. Conspirator's were up in arms that Microsoft was trying to pull a fast one, yada yada yada. I installed it the first time around too. I've done a clean install since then and installed it again. My machine hasn't called me a pirate or self districted so I guess its safe. :sarc:

A few days ago peopele sayed to me that it's need it, becouse I may not recive SP1 without it. Know people are saying the oposite:

You don't even need the KB KB976902. Service pack fetches it.

Nice post, Zardoc!

Indeed, the SP1 RTM(?) does install 976902:

Hoever I'm glad that I didn't install it, I toold you that uncked updates may not be need it. Hoever it's good to know abut the updates before you install it, that it's why I never use automaic update.

 

[bd74]

I didn't install this update, and it still appears in my updates notification window. Does it need to be installed, or can I just disregard it?

Don't know I can tell you only when SP1 arives, and I think is next week, hoever you can put it on hide and return to it later if it will be need it.
