KB3097877 , via winupdate .

Warning, danger danger

I just had 1 PC Ive had to use system restore to fix issues after KB3097877
There are many reports on the interwebs of KB3097877 causing Outlook issues, Publisher crashes, all-in-1's wont load win .
make sure you untick it if doing manual winupdates

A well tested patch for sure

Looks like its mostly to do with Windows 7, thats causing the problems.

AND one of the suggestions is to run a certain DISM command -- Oh yeah that will work great for an average user

Guess making Patches that break W7 is one way for MS to kill it off Bit like they did with XP.

Thanx for the tip. I just saw it waiting and have hidden it..

Turn off your updates. Seven years of updates should be ample.

I got caught by this update, with Outlook crashing when opening HTML formatted emails. Fixed it by uninstalling the update. I was nervous for a while though as the uninstall required a restart and it was a looong time in the close down phase where it says "do not turn off your computer". It must have taken 20 mins to get through that bit. I actually walked away and left it to stop me succumbing to the temptation to hit rest anyway.

This is on the flatmates PC atm. Saw it this morning. Havent hidden it yet tho

Think I'll hide it soon tho !

Microsoft have re-released a fixed version of that update now so no need to hide it anymore, just check for updates again so your machine picks up the new version.

It did install on the other PC here. Dont know how because I didnt install it. And its not on auto

I thought it was going to stuff up, because while it was booting after it said something about the registry. But it did boot into windows finally
