[what]Update for Windows 7 for x64-based Systems (KB976902)

NYKO said:

Today it came thru my official updates on my Windows7 x86, but shows unmarked, so I consider it's an optional update not realy neded. I always hide this kind of unmarked updates, to never recive notification. Hoever may be I'm rong and this kind of updates are need it.

The reason some updates are unchecked is because they may conflict with other updates being installed at the same time. I always installed those alone.

I've installed & checked first the kb976902 (also installed on the Oct 27, 2010) before checking boxes the others update. Didn't need to reboot (not asked to but did it), then installed kb2454826 & kb2451910, rebooted then applyed the kb890830.

Ms Source:
kb976902

So far since october everything is fine, and my balls are great!

I don't mind being spyed, i'm on legit system...thus this one is for SP1 future install, that's from what i readed before applying this Windows Update kb976902...just a matter of reading what MS tells, no?.

I'm spyed for my good...

I think the paranoid users over reacted when MS released that update in October but did not release the KB article. In their paranoid mines they thought MS was pulling a sneak attack, when in fact is was a simple mistake of not publishing the KB article in a timely manner. The update was pulled and has now been released along with the article.
SP1 should be out soon and this update is needed to install SP1.

I don't know if it was this specific update or one of the others, but after the Tuesday updates I now have a delayed Windows 7 start when booting. When I boot up and after the BIOS screen, Windows 7 would stat to load immediately. Now, I get a flashing cursor and blank screen for about 30 seconds before Windows starts to load.

I tried System Restore and it could not complete.

Hey Fireberd - Sorry to hear about that.

Sometimes when the System Restore will not complete when run from within Windows you can use the F8 at boot to get the Windows Boot Menu, and then choose "Last Good Configuration" to restore.

Hope that helps.

Here is my 2 cents.
