    Hi,
    KB3172605 was reissued Tuesday so if it breaks anything we won't know until next patch Tuesday :)
    Just had to roll back my system due to no internet connection. "DNS Server not found"

    Actually the roll back didn't help. Further investigation revwaled that someone hijacked my router. I found an unknown device (Game Server) added here so I deleted it.

    Anyway bottom line is that I'm downloading and installing missing updates. One of those is the re-released KB2172605 with the latest Windows Update agent/ client.

    Here's the files that were downloaded:

    Actually I have no idea how it happened. My router password is complex and not the default password plus there's a setting for only allowing new devices "on registration" but still this mysterious device managed to appear. I only noticed when logging into the router to check settings. I'll keep an eye on it and see if the problem returns.
