Platform Update (KB2670838) for windows 7

Is this "issue" already officially acknowledged by Microsoft?

MS are aware of problems with certain chipset/driver combinations and the KB2670838 update
They are also aware of problems with the IE10 install

They are working on both issues, and will update as and when they are satisfied that they have solved the problems.
The recommendation in the meantime is that if the update doesn't install first time, make sure it's uninstalled, and then hide it - Windows Update will unhide it when it is updated.

If you want IE 10 you need this update. I would avoid it at all costs. It caused my screen to go black every so often and then I got a BSOD. I removed it and the other updates that were required for IE 10. There is a IE 10 Blocker from MS that will not permit it to be installed. I used it.

Thanks. How will I know which other updates are related to IE10?

Does that IE10 blocker only block one update, the IE10 program itself?
