Bork Tuesday, Any Problems Yet?

Newest update KB3034196
https://adblockplus.org/forum/styles/prosilver/imageset/icon_post_target.gifby cubeover » Thu Feb 12, 2015 8:03 am

The update causes IE11 to hang on startup, unless AdBlock plug-in is Disabled.

 

Same thing happend to me...did a backup and installed KB3034196 2x days ago. No problem at all so far.

 

Subsequently followed-up with a system restore and reapplied the windows updates. And since the referenced bsod is memory related, I uninstalled CleanMem. My best guess is that there's a conflict with CleanMem and Shadow Defender after extensive use in virtual mode. In any event, problem resolved.

Only problem I've experienced with Windows Update recently was a minor one I think that was posted earlier on this thread.

 

All good here.

 

All good here after a week too...

Borky days are here again?



Anyone else getting KB2970228? I finally ran the last 'Borkday' updates Wednesday morning without any problems. The computer was on for about two hours (07:00 - 09:00hrs) this morning without any update notices. I switched it on again at about 12:50 GMT to get this KB2970228 seemingly out of the blue.

'After you apply this update, the new Russian ruble symbol can be input by using the physical keyboard, Windows on-screen keyboard (osk.exe), or Tablet PC Input Panel (Tabtip.exe) in Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, Windows Server 2012 R2, Windows 8, Windows RT, Windows Server 2012, Windows 7, and Windows Server 2008 R2. Additionally, the new currency symbol is added on the Currency tab of the Region settings in Control Panel. '

WTF?

 

Hi Daveski,
I got this a couple of weeks ago and chose to 'Hide it'. I agree with you, why is this a 'Recommended update' ?

Hi Gordon. Yes, it puzzles me why it isn't 'optional' rather than a recommended update, especially considering it has produced known issues. I've hidden it as well.

 

New potential bork:



I can't get any information on KB3006137 as the 'More Information' page won't open for me at the moment. Has anyone had any problems with KB3006137?

 

It changes only symbol of the Lithuania's currency (Lt) to Euro (€).

OK thanks. I often wonder why some of these updates are labelled as 'Important'. It probably is to Lithuanians.

 

Yeah,I wonder why Microsoft is releasing a update now just to change the Lithuania currency symbol?

 

I had it labelled as Recommended update, not Important.

 

Because it is not just related to Lithuania but it has the worldwide monetary effect and as Microsoft is used worldwide in banks, institutions etc. it needed to be changed globally.

 

Well, thanks for that explanation Pegas

 

I wonder why the discrepancy in labelling these updates? That's the real mystery.

 

You're welcome. There are sometimes things with Microsoft which go beyond our understanding but actually they are justified.

 

That's indeed strange. Maybe Microsoft evaluated that my country has less business relations with Lithuania than yours

 

They must know something we don't lol.
