Bork Tuesday, Any Problems Yet?

Thanks JR. Funny thing is I just deleted my post about it because I found the 3-versions discussion of this KB in the No more individual patches for Window 7 and 8.
I'll just sit on these updates for a while. There are 3 for my Windows 7: .Net KB4514602, Quality kb4516065 and this KB4474419.
I might go for the catalog version, I had to do that in April. What a mess

 

Windows 10 With Chinese IME Installed Causing High CPU Usage

FWIW: A death by a thousand cuts best describes the state of Windows patching in 2019. Lingchi is back!

W7 is already on death row so there is no need to torture it so. W10 should be 99.9% stable to be classed a 'service' and Patch Tuesday should not be a whack a mole exercise for users and tech support alike. Microsoft has been at Windows for 50 years so they should be aware that the key to quality is professionalism. We who use Windows are in a quandary.

win764bit sept updates -3 offered installed net framework 3 days ago-working good installed security quality rollup(250mb)-working great installed security update(53mb)-get black screen saying hard disk failure-had to do hard shutdown-boot back up and everything is working. go to windows update and my update history has been wiped clean saying i have never ran updates. has this wiped all installed updates over a 5 yr period or just wiped the update listings. i'm at a loss at what to do. thanks for your help

 

It is more likely there, than not. Answer Stapp's question first and if there is nothing there, you could try this ...

Run as administrator.

 

stapp, emmjay thanks for your replies. i'm 72 and went into panic mode when this happened. i've since calmed down and did check installed updates and all are still there including the 3 sept updates. it just wiped my view update history page and now i have the red x and the check for updates. i installed all three updates separately so i have 3 restore points. would a system restore bring back my view installed updates page? thanks

 

stapp, i'm now being offered kb3138612 and i checked and do not have this installed. i googled this and it seems it for speeding up win7 update. i never had a problem with windows update until this last one. also read that kb3145739 replaces 3138612 and i do have kb3145739 installed on 4/16/2016. this last update (sept)kb4474419 has really messed with windows update. i'm just going to hide kb3138612. thanks for your help.

I am not aware of this. Maybe I'm wrong but to me it looks like it is about different things.

KB4522016 (OS Build 18362.357) released today but it wasn't offered yet.

 

It's a catalog only update, meaning it must be downloaded and installed manually.

fanj, kb4474419 was the one that wiped my view update history. i hid and will not install kb3138612. i was offered and installed kb4516655(servicing stack). now have one entry in view update history. doesn't really matter we only have 4 more update periods left for win7. thanks for your help.

 

Checking my Win Update install history; items 1, 3, 4, and 5 were installed last Bork Tuesday. So if this applies to one's current Win Update status, only item 2 needs to be installed. Also item 2 can be downloaded from the Microsoft catalog web site.

 

Yes number 2 was released today and is just a small security fix for Internet Explorer. Doesn't hurt to install it.

It will come some time in the future if you wait in some other cumulative update but I prefer to install these out of schedule updates on the spot. I've been lucky enough to have never had a problem with any Windows update.

 

Just installed it via Win Update Catalog download. It installed w/o issues.

 

same here, I had confidence it would install without issues because it was the same as last week's Cumulative update but only has this new Internet Explorer security flaw fix.

Regards

 

I have Windows Update turned off. Sometimes i get updates anyway like a few weeks ago and again today. I restarted for the first time in a few days because of high page file on my gadget. Restart started to config ms update at 100% but never finished. So i restarted and it froze at 35% config, so i restarted in safe mode and it froze at waiting and never booted. Restarted again with networking and it said something about the update failure and would revert to previous state. It them restarted and booted normal. I don't know what that update was and if it will happen again.

 

I did a check for updates and i got a patch for internet explorer 11. It failed to install with a code of 9c48.

 

Installed from catalog too, for 64 bit 1903. It was 260.8 MB, more than I expected. It went thru which is good since I'd shut off IE11 in Programs and Features. Now for that Windows Defender patch and if it's being delivered via a definition update.

Edit: Disk Cleanup is showing 2.66 GB to clean up from a 260 MB update. Same deal if you go to Storage via Settings. Wow.
