I've been bothered by this as well. The descriptions that MS provides for their updates are often close to meaningless.
I can't trust a company that does not fully disclose what they want to install and why.
It's like if you went to an auto mechanic and they tell you they want to instal something new in your vehicle to "fix an issue", but they won't tell you what the issue really is, or what they are installing.
Is anyone keeping an up-to-date list of which Windows Updates NOT to install, and why not to install each item on that list?
This is my list of all updates which are, or are supplemental to, the Win 10 Nagware Trojans:
KB2990214
KB3035583
KB2952664
KB3021917
KB2819745
KB3022345
KB3050265
KB3068708
KB3065987
I fixed my KB3070102 BSOD issue by disabling Zemana Antilogger, more info here:
BSOD On Startup After Installing KB3070102
I'd say the Optional updates are irrelevant
It's when M$ reclassifies them makes them fishy
Then you get to the actual descriptions on the kb's page
What pisses me off the most is MS classifying an update as important when it's only important if you want Win 10 .
I was curious to know, if this update kb3079904 is safe to install. Microsoft just released this update a few days ago.
I really haven't been installing updates for windows as of late. Because i don't know which ones are safe and buggy.
