June 9th 2015 Windows Updates

All the updates from Tuesday are fine to install.

Most are about an attacker being able to take over your PC.

Here`s a list of updates I`ve compiled for someone who does not want to upgrade to Windows 10, and couple other updates are just not needed. You can google each one for yourself.

Updates not to Install

KB2876229 SKYPE
KB2923545 RDP
KB2970228
KB3035583
KB2990214
KB3021917
KB3068708 Telemetry
KB2592687
KB2660075
KB2506928
KB2952664 x2
KB3050265
KB2726535
KB2994023
KB3022345 Replaced by KB3068708 Telemetry

There`s nothing wrong with it, I just don`t use it. That`s why it says Skype, if you want Skype, by all means install it.

Once again, Google each update and decide if you want to install it.

Hubby's 7 had 20, he has Office 2010 so probably a load for that. My 7 needed 18, I've got Office 2010 on that as well. My 8.1 had 10 plus 2 Optional that has Office 2007 installed.
All installed with no problems, I always let the updates install.

Thanks for the list. I recently purchased a new computer, #2 on my specs, and had to install 272 updates. Your list confirmed that I managed to avoid them all.

Double thanks on that. I've also been watching Tookeri's thread here: How to remove Windows 10 upgrade updates in Windows 7 and 8


Upgrading to win10 sounds like a good deal, but, there are still too many unknowns at the present for me, and having those win10 KB's on a machine poses a clear and present danger that one misstep could change your operating system before you are ready for it.

We've all seen the posts where updates were run without prior approval or knowledge of the machine owner, and MS has done that to me to. I do have KB2952664 and KB3021917 installed on my machine, how they were installed I do not remember, but so far I haven't had the horror stories that others have had; With them I'm in a watch and wait and see if anything happens mode.


The clock is ticking until "free" runs out on July 29th, 2016.

I updated my PC yesterday and KB2952664 reinstalled itself.
How to remove the 'Get Windows 10' app from your PC

My W7 "pretended" to be locked up, when I told it to uninstall KB2952664.
It just sat on the configuring updates screen doing nothing.
After 5 minutes I manually restarted my PC and it seems to be working properly (for now).

Same for me. It tried to reinstall and I then got "Windows failed to configure updates" and "reverting changes"

When it eventually settled down (after a couple of reboots) KB2952664 appears as an important update again so I hid it!

I wasted yesterday afternoon repairing my OS.

I uninstalled KB2952664 and ran SFC, which complained about something.
I happened to be reading the SFC /SCANNOW thread, so I also uninstalled KB3022345.

SFC still complained, so I ended up reimaging my PC.
A search indicated that people started having issues after February's updates, so I had to use my January image.

I then had to apply 5 months worth of OS & software updates.
