Well i just installed the update and although it took a while to bring my desktop up (Had to do a ctrl+alt+del and start task manager), all seems fine and my shortcuts still work fine.
Lucky.

Thank you Microsoft!
I also installed the update for x64. The funny thinks is that they call the fix "Important" even though it's "Critical".
