Well and the second link states, what happened last weekend to me and my ‘AMD_Athlon 1800+’ (see screenshot).

3

My systems are all Intel chip based.

4

Sorry, but I haven’t a better one (out there in the ‘Lüneburger Heide’). But waiting for a present.

So far I am not experiencing any issues with either W 10 64 Bit OS’s and MS updates.

Everything up to date.

6

AMD or Intel chip ???

7

Well, I already deinstalled KB4493472 on my main pc (intel).

Edit: ‘(intel)’

8

Both Intel
Envy= Intel i5
Compaq= Intel Centrino Duo

Win-slow. So slow. For months, I was asked to update programs that wouldn’t install, didn’t apply to my build, and the update files couldn’t be found at MS. After the first time, I unchecked them. They finally disappeared. Updated 3 days ago, one wouldn’t install. Now I’ve suddenly got 15. Let’s see what takes. :-X

1: Which Win (SP)?
2: I got 10 for my W7 desktop ‘AMD_Athlon 1800+’ installed, that didn’t finish! I’ll try a repair, for W7
didn’t return! So be careful!!! Better not install.

Windows 7 Home SP1
Intel Core i5-2430M 2.40 GHz

I just installed 14 out of 15 updates. Gotta reboot to see what 15 is. Prob the same one from last week. For the last year, I’ve had update after update that wouldn’t install. I clean the crap out of my machine regularly. The disk drive just runs on. I just shut it down and disconnect it when I’m offline so I don’t have to listen to it. I don’t use this one much, there’s not much on it, but it’s gettin’ time for another one. Next, I think I’ll try a linux build. ;D

Maybe it’s the better choice.

The Avast advisory only talks about effects on the Avast Business Customer?
