Thanks!
I see this update (KB2852386) was installed today via the Patch Tuesday updates.
So, what I'm not sure of is, do I need to run "Windows Cleanup" as a followup to this update being installed?
This is in the instructions from the original link about this:
Source:Update is available that enables you to delete outdated Windows updates by using a new option in the Disk Cleanup wizard in Windows 7 SP1
I had no problems with the cleanup.
We now have a tutorial for it as well,
Windows Updates - Remove Outdated Updates in Windows 7
One thing you need to be aware of is that this 'patch' almost certainly removes one layer of recovery capability that is currently available (while it also reduces the complexity level of the overall OS).
My inclination is NOT to utilise the capability unless you have good backups, AND need the space (probably because you are using an SSD).
Are you talking about this Noel?
Update is available that enables you to delete outdated Windows updates by using a new option in the Disk Cleanup wizard in Windows 7 SP1To enable you to roll back to previous updates, updates are stored in the WinSxS store even after they are superseded by later updates. Therefore, after you run the Disk Cleanup wizard, you may be unable to roll back to a superseded update. If you want to roll back to a superseded update that the Disk Cleanup wizard deletes, you can manually install the update.
