PC won't start after installing windows update KB915597 today
Windows update offered up an important update today KB915597 (Definition 1.149.884.0). I installed it. It did not require a restart but I needed to shut down for other reasons unrelated to the computer. Upon rebooting the computer wouldn't complete the startup procedure but hung at some point after the desktop appeared. The hourglass cursor was visible but the PC wouldn't respond to mouse clicks etc.
I rebooted several times to the same effect, so I started in safe mode and used the Windows Update restore point to remove this update. After doing that everything booted fine.
Are others running into problems installing this update or is it something specific to my system?
I'm running Windows 7 64 bit SP1
I'm attaching a CBS.zip file although the process encountered no issues and no Windows update errors were reported.
Thanks in advance,
