A Microsoft official blogger even had to invent a script to do this to help users. But I disabled Windows Update and use WSUS Offline Update to apply security-only updates alone, and only after waiting long enough for bug reports like the instant one to begin popping up on the Net and be confirmed.
For example, when there were questions about the reliability of the December out-of-band Internet Explorer 11 cumulative security update, I gave it some thought and ended up simply turning off Internet Explorer 11 in Windows Features. It will be a huge relief. Peterc Hiya Peterc, that was a reply to: w7forever. My mistake for not using a w7forever reference. I hit reply to his comment and the reply showed up below yours.
Take care, your comment is quality. I gotta tell ya, when Reagan broke the postal workers unions and set up a two-tier pay system, it was a gift that keeps giving. If gross negligence is found by the trier of fact judge or jury , it can result in the award of punitive damages on top of general and special damages.
Good idea. Though, the burden of proof would be on the plaintiff as well as court costs in the advent of a loss and possibly a counter-suit.
If you build a extensive, strong case and have legal acumen. Unfortunately, the US Supreme Court has upheld these two types of clause in contracts of adhesion, leaving many most? Well … unless that judge were me! Tort it is! Seriously all the smart techies should stop installing patches for Windows 7 after December. Spectre and Meltdown mitigations have slowed it down considerably after patches. Pick one. If they would have it their way, they will forced Windows 10 on everyone immediately.
In many cases, problems caused by Windows updates can be undone by simply uninstalling the update and waiting for a fixed version to be released. Sometimes there are interim workarounds like the one mentioned in this article.
And if an update completely borks the system, restoring a system-drive image or swapping in a system-drive clone takes care of the problem.
But reinstalling and reconfiguring Windows and all of your applications from scratch is fun, right? Now i made a clean install with a Windows 7 Ultimate x64 with updates integrated until May Fast and without all bugs introduced later.
Also, Simplix Update Pack has these mitigations disabled by default. Thanks very much for this, Martin. My dad has a couple of laptops running Windows 7 Enterprise that he periodically needs to bring into work to reactivate. If i really want to do stuff, i do it in a non persistent VM.

Microsoft notes that the issue was not caused by the release of security updates for Windows 7 in January Systems displayed a "Windows is not genuine" error message after log on and enforced non-genuine changes to the system; in particular, a notification on the desktop that the copy of Windows is not genuine and the enforcing of a black desktop background.
Microsoft published a resolution to fix the issue on devices that still show up as non genuine. The company recommends that administrators remove KB from affected devices and run the following commands if that is the case:.
Administrators who have not resolved the issue until now can do so using Microsoft's fix. It is puzzling that something that major could remain undetected. I sincerely think that Microsoft is unable to find the right way to produce stable updates. At least they were fast to acknowledge the problem and fixing it. This alone is almost a miracle. This updates was never been shipped via Windows Update — the activation update has to be manually downloaded and installed afaik. But things are not that simple.
Whilst the update was never be recommended for KMS activation environments, it was recommended for single key activation, to assure, that Windows 7 is genuine.
But there scenarios, where the update has been applied to a Windows 7 Pro machine — and later on, this has been activated via KMS. The drama is, that MS obivously never has tested that update against their changes made in KMS activation.
Clean install Windows 7 and KB is right there among a looooooooooong list of recommended updates. Their solution was to uninstall the update. LOL What did the update even do if it worked as intended? Typical MicroShaft garbage, untested, unproven and thrust upon their customers leaving THEM to resolve the problem by their own means. Absolutely disgusting.
