Hello there

Last week there was one of those install new update popups where you're allowed to wait another 4 hours before it pops up.

My problem is after last weeks update my computer slowed down heavily, and I cannot see anyway to fix it. I have checked core temperature, gpu temperature and even removed all dust from the inside of my cabinet.

Under task manager it looks perfectly normal (CPU usage at 5% max.) but when I try to close it, it goes "not responding" like everything else does when I try to close it.
Also when I try to turn on my computer it boots normally, but after I log onto my account on the computer, all I see is a black screen with the cursor.

Currently it is impossible to open any webbrowers or any programs / games.

I have (by luck) made a full system scan and it didn't find any virusses or spyware. (I use Avira)

In few words... This problem came with the newest Windows 7 update... Before that I didn't run into any problems at all.

Many regards and thanks in advance.

Celthric

PS: I use Windows 7 64 bit Home edition.

Hey and thanks for your message Boozad...

With the problem I'm having I do not get BSOD... I wasn't at my computer when it restarted so I have no idea if it crashed or not...

This update has caused different problems, not always BSODs, so it's definitely worth uninstalling it and seeing if that restores your computer to its normal speed.
