I just checked all of his programs and browsers and they opened without any problems.
All those updates went well. No problems. This morning it installed this update KB3024777. Details are here http://support.microsoft.com/kb/3024777
No problems after that.
This new update will automatically remove the update KB3004394
The new update didn’t remove the KB3004394 update.
oh right that update still shows in the installed update section and even in the update history! I guess it only removed that file but didn’t remove it from the update history
Should I try to uninstall it? I’m not sure how to that.
Don’t do anything! It might cause issues. Leave it as it is.
Ok.
Anyone tried the new W7 IE11 KB3025390 update ?
Sad no one trusts MS updates anymore…never been a fan of MS and they’ve sunk to new lows in quality. 
W7 IE11 KB3025390 update ?
When was that update released?
Yesterday: http://www.infoworld.com/article/2860874/microsoft-windows/microsoft-ships-kb-3025930-to-fix-ie-11-modal-dialog-screw-ups-in-kb-3008923.html
A new “patch” to solve a “patch”…geeze.
Did you install it? Guess I’ll check for updates on my Windows 7 computer.
Not yet…have not had chance.
Installed it this morning. Everything appears to be working fine - no problems with avast nor with IE11.
Just updated on six W7 64bit PCs…took about 2 minutes for System Restore to create restore point and update took less than minute to install. It did not requite a reboot but I ALWAYS reboot after every software update.
BTW, just my two cents but since MS has had SO many problems I’d change your update from auto update to “download and let me know when ready”. I also do this in all software programs…example: Avast. I find a quick Google or Forum search can sometimes save you a TON of headaches on brand new releases that have bugs.
Might want to change your MS update settings to “download but let me decide” too, especially after the last debacle you just went through. You can always use Google to check things out a day or two later, and install all updates if all looks good, or uncheck/hide the ones others are reporting problems with and do the rest of them then.
The Windows update has been running for 3 hours now and has my Win7 laptop running flat out (can just about manage to type this).
Looking at Avast (version 2015 10.0.2208) Realtime data, I can see endless Windows activity, but also some random activity related to my personal files.
Any idea what’s happening here? Advice please. Thanks.
Update apparently completed after 5 hours :-[ and all is now working normally. Can I assume MS has auto-fixed their problematical update?
I assume you are not talking about just this last update…but had others prior not installed ?
If so, I did have one PC that did run for a LONG time…but finally finished.
To be honest, hard to tell other than re-boot couple times, re-check manually if Windows has any updates, spend day or two using PC a lot and see how responds.
UPDATE: I’ve re-named the thread title to be more generic on Windows Update “dates” so perhaps to use as an ongoing thread. Once new updates come out we can start the next reply/post with the date & KB info. I think this subject is one that is important to health of PCs and the interaction with Avast obviously key. Anyway, if all is well perhaps a good thread for quick check before you dive into new updates blindly.
Seems as of this post we are past the ill-fated November updates and the December patches.
See you in January.
