Microsoft Black Tuesday Patches Bring Blue Screens of Death

[ThrashZone]

Hummm,
I loaded all of the important ones,
So there were only three optional ones left,
The two others,
Kb-2980245-2952664 are still there so they must of pulled a couple important ones ?
Post what important ones you show if you wouldn't mind Lady,
Cheers.

Microsoft finally pulled the update from being offered,
Checked for updates and it's no longer listed
Kb-2970228 Dropped like a hot potato

MS was pretty quick to fix the IE modial dialog problem.

This one must be giving them a heck of time.

It'll cost you.

Thanks I guess they did pull one important one too ?
You do have two optional updates listed there,

Thanks I'll look into that one

If those are optional, why are they listed under Important and not Optional?

 

[ThrashZone]

They could be classified as recommended,
If you have the box checked to give you recommended updates the same as important ones they're bunched together,

They have revised the:

Article ID: 2982791 - Last Review: August 16, 2014 - Revision: 4.0
MS14-045: Description of the security update for kernel-mode drivers: August 12, 2014.

Therefore Microsoft is providing a step-by-step workaround solution to properly remove the offending updates article IDs.

Edit:
Uninstalled the Article ID: 2970228 & the Article ID: 2982791...they do not are proposed on Windows Update anymore. Let's wait now they fix them...

Very interesting. I wish I'd seen this sooner!

I'm another guy who got caught by this. Installed all of the updates Wednesday AM and the system came through the post-install reboot just fine. Perhaps that startup is when the offending patch was actually installed? Anyway, started the box that evening and *boom* BSOD at startup (0x0050 page fault in nonpaged memory) every time. Not even safe mode worked.

Swapping the memory SIMMs didn't help (and now I know why) so I got a new hard drive and restored from a backup made the previous Sunday which, of course, was before the nasty patches.

Everything has been running fine since then -- but maybe I'll wait another couple of days before applying the latest round of patches. ::sigh::

PS Surprised that news of this didn't show up on El Reg or Ars.

I didn't update until Saturday (I always wait until at least then incase a problem like this crops up), a day or two after M$ pulled the three offending updates. So far, no problems.

 

[andrew129260]

I was unaffected.

I have to say, It has been a long time since something like this has happened. Hopefully it stays that way and more hopefully doesn't come back!

 

[Lady Fitzgerald]

From what I've read, the problems some people have had appear to have been from software conflicts. I always wait until Friday to download and install M$ updates. So far, on the rare occasions when M$ has released a faulty update, M$ has always pulled or fixed the offender by then so I've yet to get burned. When one considers the number of hardware/software combinations that are possible, it's a miracle that M$ has done as well as it has when it comes to avoiding conflicts with its updates, then responding so quickly when the rare problem crops up.

2 Win 7 machines killed by update, 1 OK

Wednesday my grandson brought his laptop to me, Win 7 would not start and went to ' startup repair' program. However no repair worked. When I tried to go to a restore point, the only one there appeared to be one automatically done before last update. The restore point did not repair his machine.
I'm afraid I have finished driving a stake into its heart by some of the repair disks I have laying around and ran on his machine, trying to restore partitions, etc. I think it will take a full reinstall of Win 7. Of course, no, he does not have (never had) a Win 7 disk. SOL, riight?
Here is the kicker. This morning when I restarted all the machines in my 'command central' my Lenovo laptop is dead in exactly the same way. Startup repair does not work and cannot find a restore point except one from just a couple days ago, when I shut down and all the (17 I think) were done. So his laptop is bricked and so is mine.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, but suppose we both took this occasion to upgrade to Win 8? (Microsoft's current Vista failure OS) and a lot of others too, maybe that would boost MS's bottom line...Naw, the world's not filled with mega corporations that intentionally gig the little guy, right?

You can download the latest Win 7 ISO for your licensed version and do a clean install.
You do need a readable valid COA key for this.
This tutorial has everything needed, including where to get the Win 7 ISO.

Agreed. I give MS props as well.

If only they were as efficient in every other aspect of keeping us happy.

True that.
