KB3079904 issue

[wptski]

After yesterdays security update(KB3079904) my startup times went from around 40 seconds calculated with Glary Utilities to 2:48. Anyone else seeing this?

I have the same problem with Windows 7 in some virtual machines, but not with Windows 8.1.
The time increased from 43 to 103 seconds even after several restarts (stop-watch).
I don't dare to do the update with my physical machines.

By the way, where can I find a logout-button in sevenforums?

Disk Cleanup including System files (snapshots etc., all options marked) helps.
After two restarts the system is fast again.

A few months ago after WUP Tuesday, my system slowed again. I restored an image and installed one at time till I found the culprit. I hide that one from installing but some weeks later, it was gone from my hidden list. Makes me think that MS discovered a problem with it and removed it.

I hope it goes away after a few restarts.

Problem with kb 3079904

After installing the critical update my computer became unusable. It froze immediately after startup, and I spent the day trying to resolve the problem without success. I was ready to wipe Windows and reinstall ( a two-three day process) when I remembered the update, removed it, and all is back to normal. Perhaps the update was released without thorough testing.

Scroll down to the bottom of any Seven Forums screen & you will see Log Out just off to the left of centre, under Site Links.

So you just uninstalled the KB from Windows? I did create a restore point prior to installing it.

It seemed to have fixed itself as this morning's start up time was 35 seconds.

A restore point was created before the installation of the update, but system restore failed twice (even in safe mode) with a ntoskrnl.exe blue screen error. The machine was so unresponsive that I count myself lucky that I could get enough life out of it to remove the update!
The update has caused a wide range of issues, some of which are discussed on the Microsoft Community board.

Seems like this is happening more and more lately with MS updates.

Glary Utilities is really not a 'good thing' - please do NOT use the registry cleaner if you value your machine!.
