April 14th 2015 Windows Updates Details

I wonder should i make a system image backup before proceeding with installing the updates or will a restore point suffice?

Its just that some people couldn't boot windows anymore after installing them, including my father. This makes me feel uneasy at best.

A system image would be better than a restore point. If the system won't boot after the updates, a restore point would be pretty much useless whereas a system image could be restored using a restore disk or USB stick. I highly recommend using Macrium Reflect Free (here is a good tutorial on how to use Macrium Reflect) over Windows imaging.

I ALWAYS make an image with Macrium before doing updates. I can go back to a fully functioning system in 15min.

Same here (on my PC, it takes ~11 minutes). :)

So I ran Disc Clean Up as Administrator, then restarted computer & checked for updates & sure enough they were there again to be installed, so I hid both of them.

There was also another Update KB 3021952 which is for IE 11, but this update was shown in Installed Updates as being installed in Feb so I hid it as well.

KB3021952 should not be installed

Why?

From post # 57

KB3021952 should not be installed

I also wonder Why.

I'm guessing this ?
I never refuse important updates for ie of any kind :/
