    I'm finding "consent.exe" 6 times all in the C:\Windows\winsxs folder along with one consent.exe.mui in the same folder. No others any place else, I hope.

    I'm resisting the urge to delete them for fear of problems that may arise.

    Thanks for heads up on the latest spyware updates from M$.

    I see kb3078071 is mandatory to install the security update... is this a safe thing to install or it has some kind of spying tool?
    Sorry for asking, I dunno if I'm being too paranoid or not...

    My windows Update Icon is still missing although I can still bring it up if I go to Control Panel. There is something weird going on.

    I'm not even seeing that one. I'm still having to go to the Control panel to access Windows Update.

    That's why I couldn't find it; I already installed it. I have KB3087985 and I'm waiting until Saturday to download and install it (my normal procedure for updates).

    Hi Lady,

    here's the list i got of August 19, 2015:

    kb3080149
    kb3075249
    kb3077715
    kb3078667
    kb3087985

    I've grabbed those as stand-alone installers because i couldn't access temporarily to Windows Update.

    Is that all of the updates that had been recently in WU?

    Thanks!

    It was the middle of the night and I was grumpy because I was having trouble sleeping (shift lag and ADHD; deadly combo) so I didn't keep track of what I had hidden. MS has been issuing so many crap updates lately, I've quit adding to my Specialized High Intensity Training list and just check out each update as they roll in. The only ones I'm going to actually download install Saturday, assuming there are no reports of problems, are KB3087985 and KB3078667.

    I installed them all. If MS want's to waste their time spying on me so be it! I'm sure they have better things to do!
    If Microsoft leaves a back door for spying what would make one think that Microsoft is the only one using that back door?
