There's an interesting security issue in relation to this month's updates raised here:-
6/11/2014 Updates introduce one of Microsoft's worst - Microsoft Community
What's also interesting, apart from this security issue and the need for most of you to reboot twice when installing the updates, is that I haven't yet been offered them on my work machine. Normally by this time on a Wednesday afternoon in the UK I've been offered them, even tho' I don't install them for a day or two until I have seen whether they raise any issues. I'm beginning to wonder whether they've been temporarily withdrawn, although I'll have my gaming machine on shortly and will see whether they're offered on that one.
Update: My gaming machine was offered 8 updates as soon as it was switched on. I assume the work machine will be offered them next time I have it on, probably tomorrow.Last edited by Seffrid; 11 Jun 2014 at 10:51.

when I did the graphic one I found after reboot the desktop gallery icon I have for weather has only the words in it and graphics are gone. I know there was a way to fix this but I do not remember it. I have the dpi set to custom at 115% but it still effected all the desktop gallery icons.
anyone see this too and know how to fix it?

Seffrid maybe the IT dept at work runs its own update server for all machines?
Robin, what do you mean "graphics one" and "desktop gallery icon?"

No, I work from home (semi-retired) and use one of my own machines for my work independently of the company's IT support for their office-based machines, with my other one being used for gaming.
Since my earlier post I have installed the 8 updates on my gaming machine, seemingly without problems. They included KB2952664 which I've previously hidden a couple of times as it relates to future OS upgrades which I don't envisage wanting, but having it come up for the third time I thought I'd give in and install it!

yes I did, this happened on every windows 7 that had Windows desktop gadgets on it. I know Microsoft pulled off Windows gadgets because it has a security leak but on this one test machine I wanted to keep it.

Two boots at 30% each time - some security changes require registering the service
I recently restored an image, so the following might not apply to WU
IE 11 was slower
Search with Google add-on arrow is gone. I can still right click on highlighted text and pick search with Google.
That's about it. Any other anomalies, I'm chalking up to IE 11 (Enhanced Protection works a bit differently: the prompt is not as intuitive)
