Bork Tuesday, Any Problems Yet?

From Microsoft's patch hangover: KB 3008923, 2553154, 2726958, 3004394, 3011970:

 

I still have not installed 8923. Don't want to mess up IE9.

 

I still can't connect to windows update and Microsoft store still clams I am not connected to the internet

 

Just installed January's updates here this morning, about 7 of them, on Win 7 x64. No problems, no issues, all is well...

 

January's update already here? I still have not installed the December one after they bork my Laptop...

Ditto.

9 pcs on Windows 8.1U2 x32.

 

I did not install MS14-80 last month because of problems with IE9. I have the Jan Updates but did not get the revised MS14-80 from what i can tell.

 

Same here, no problems on Vista and Win8...

 

Yup, living dangerously here, too. Installed 7 updates on two 7x64 machines. So far so good.

 

I also installed all updates on Windows 8.1 x64 and have no problems so far.

 

Decembers updates not yet installed here, my trust in MS updates having been eroded to say the least.

 

Wise decision

 

Well, it's that time of the month again! As usual I'll wait 7-10 days before installing.

Aborkalypse Now:


These are mine. Fingers crossed, touch wood and may the force be with us!

 

This time, MS Updates were not ~ 1GB...

 

January updates installed here just fine.

 

Thanks for the tip stapp, I know a lot of people do the same thing.

 

I also usually install optional updates separately.

 

Think I'll wait just a bit before installing and see how things evolve here on the "Bork Watch" beat.

 

No issues on my Win Pro 8.1 64 bit & Vista system. Waiting for nothing, imho.

 

I think the best approach to this problem is to just have a fresh image handy to recover from if something goes wrong.. Works for me.

 

I never have problems with Windows updates. Last time I had a problem was the first time that I tried to install SP 3 in my XP. Thats a long long time ago. The only thing out of the ordinary that I do is disable automatic updates and wait a week or two, sometimes even longer to update. Never ever have had a problem updating Windows in the 2 W7 computers that I have owned.

Yes, I agree. If anything goes wrong just a 5 minute restore and everything is fine again.

 

• A new MS14-080 / KB 3029449, which is an Internet Explorer cumulative rollup re-release of the old MS14-080 / KB 3008923, which was one of the botched hangover patches from December. Note the change in KB number. In certain circumstances (which I describe below) you may need to install both patches....http://www.allwebsolutions.net/scie...4-2726958-missing-from-january-patch-tuesday/
