Im still confused is this incompatibility fixed or not?
Mine is 10.0.2208.722.The other guy said i should try and aply the update…But i dont wanna end up doing a clean format again if it doesnt work.
722 is the updated driver
I found the 722 driver so now what do I do? I don’t want to go through what happened with that one windows update again.
Ensure that you install the bottom two updates from this page first http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=44977
Then you can install the big one

What’s better, installing KB3000850 manually, or trough automatic Windows Update?

Allright gonna try and when do,i will respond back 
I already have KB300357 installed but I’m afraid to install KB3000850 again. :-\
If that particular update is so important why is it shown as optional? I’m not going to risk almost destroying my computer again.

Maybe read here about it?

I’m far from an expert, but it seems to me one of its attributes is it makes it a lot easier to boot Windows 8.1 to Safe Mode… always an advantage when dealing with Avast snafus!

It’s not important. It’s almost like a small service pack. It contains prior fixes up to this point, bug fixes, and tweaks to the OS. If prior Windows are any indications, MS will eventually make it a mandatory (“important”) or trickle it down bit by bit, but in no way is it required. If stability is your priority, it is better to wait until or these optional updates becomes “important,” by then hopefully any bugs or conflicts are straightened out.

Windows 8.1 with KB3000850 has been working perfectly for me for 3 days since removing Avast.
It’s a big update… As was mentioned above, it’s basically a service pack without any change to the version number.
The question is this: Why wouldn’t you want the latest update from Microsoft? You have been trusting them up to this point to deliver updates to you that work. Those of you considering not installing it - it’s your choice, certainly, but moving forward, aren’t you going to wonder whether you’re falling out of the mainstream? When new applications are developed, or even subsequent Windows Updates, do you think they’ll have been better tested on a FULLY up to date system, or one where KB3000850 was left off?
The problem with this update has been with Avast, not with Microsoft.
