Uneventful.
As updates should be, and curious on how others are doing.

Howdy Shawn,

Could you please take a look to a description of dwm.exe issues related to yet all m$ massive patches of 2018 as just posted by me here: HELP NEEDED! Win7 DWM.EXE issues upon install any m$ rollup of 2018

Your kind help/opinion concerning this matter would be highly appreciated!

Thank you.

Yours,

Hello laidbacktokyo,

I'm not sure either other than seeing if uninstalling the update may help, and then hide the update if it does.

I appreciate your prompt response!

Oops, really? No ideas/options other than to uninstall & hide?

That's what I'm doing form Jan2018 on regular basis. Twice per month upon release of another m$ rollup & than preview - install - test - got same error - remove - put to hidden list.:banghead:

Anyhow it was good to hearing from you! Please keep me in touch if any new idea.


Have a nice day!

P.S. Sorry but I must add - f*ck m$!

I have KB4103718 and KB4099633 and haven't noticed any performance issues. I don't know if it matters but I am still running Sandy Bridge i7 2600k on my main PC.

Noticed MS has once again updated the known issues with regards to NIC connectivity issues. However, I tried this solution last month (among many others) and this didn't fix my issue when it completely wiped out my wireless card. So, if it doesn't fix the issue after this months round of security updates, then it looks like this might be another months worth of security updates I'll have to skip.

At this point I'm beginning to wonder if it's worth installing anymore updates from MS on Windows 7 at all. Because the last 6 months (only speaking from my experience) they have been complete garbage. I know a few users on here have given up installing them. Moving forward, I may have to stick to relying on my security software instead. Every update seems to bring a new issue for me these days.

Given W7 is close to end of "support" I've thought about not bothering with updates. But will the next update fix a previous screw up??? I have system images that go back a year so that is my main security.

The way things have been going lately, they'll fix one problem and introduce 2 more. The whole thing has been a PITA since they switched the update servicing model anyway. Should've just left it how it was.

I'm the same as you, I have images going back to the end of 2016 for the OS and use regular versioning backup software on my data drives. I'm just going to rely on security software and regular images/backups from now on. I just don't have any faith in MS updates anymore.
