Yesterday I ran Windows update. After rebooting I had installed 3 updates. KB3050265, KB3068708, and KB915597. After the update, network drives failed to connect, Firefox crashed without opening, IE wouldnt open, and Windows update pages failed to load. Just a heads up that these updates may cause some major issues. I have removed them for now and will keep you folks posted if anything else happens.
You should delay installing new updates for a few weeks if not months. Let the Internet fix its woes. Mrk
Which OS? I've installed KB3050267 with no problems on Windows 8.1 x64. It looks like nowadays every update breaks something.
From what you've described it sounds like it's network related, probably an issue with your security software disagreeing with one of the updates.
Nope. Reloaded my laptop with Windows 8.1 x64 Pro and didnt install the updates. No issues without those updates so far.
3050265 is for W7 and 915597 is for Windows Defender. On W8.1 machine...odd that you'd be offered 0265 or 5597..? and not a fan of CEIP $.02 Cheers
Its unfortunate my Windows OS was destroyed by Windows Updates, but I wanted to switch to Win8.1 anyway. Just couldnt find a reason why when I had a perfectly good OS install going.
We had a problem with one of our desktop computers where windows update broke completely. All of the windows fix-it tools failed to discover and resolve the problem and I was unable to track down the problem after coming through error reports. I swear by the tweaking.com all-in-one repair tool. It works where windows own Microsoft Fix-It tools fail and it's can single handedly put your IT repair guy out of business. I would strongly recommend that you take a look at it if your adventurous. I believe others have mentioned this before on here, but just thought I'd mention it incase you've exhausted all other options and are looking at just doing a clean reinstall. httx://www.tweaking.com/content/page/windows_repair_all_in_one.html
