This is just another reason supporting my decision to stop installing MS updates after January 2018. I'm so fed up with MS!

As you have probably seen from my advice to people who are reinstalling the OS, I only advise them to include updates to and including December 2017.
It is a real shame that MS can't realise that there are going to be people that will still continue using Windows 7, for whatever reasons they may have. It could be that they are happy and confident with Windows 7, it could be for financial reasons where they cant afford to upgrade their hardware to 64-bit, or for any other number of reasons!
If MS could only release a final updated ISO that includes all the OS updates and fixes rather than leaving upto the users having to do this on a monthly basis especially after a clean install (and there are different degrees of users knowledge when it comes to computers), which as we have certainly seen this year, causes system crashes and abnormal behaviour, ultimately ending up in perhaps another clean install. The updated ISO would obviously need to NOT include any telemetry updates or such like.
Just my thoughts!
I had a look on the article today and noticed they've now removed any reference to NIC issues.
So, does this mean they've fixed it? Or, they're just not acknowledging that there are any issues with NIC? I can't install this update until they fix it, because it wiped out my wireless card last time I installed it.
Some more info would be nice MS!
I never used to advocate skipping security updates, however, lately I've been seriously considering this myself!
I lost my internet with this update after a couple of days. First I'm barely a novice on these kinds of problems, but I found an article that I followed. I unplugged the power to my modem and router for two minutes and plugged them back it. I got my internet back. I'm sharing this just in case it might help someone.
