anuseems Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Computerworld posted a story that Microsoft is quietly recommending that customers uninstall one of last week's security updates after users reported that it crippled their computers with the infamous "Blue Screen of Death."The update, identified as MS14-045 in Microsoft's numbering, was one of nine released on "Patch Tuesday," Aug. 12, was designed to fix three separate flaws, including one related to a font vulnerability and another in the Windows kernel, the heart of the operating system.Within hours of its release, however, users reported that MS14-045 had generated a Stop 0x50 error on some systems, mostly on Windows 7 PCs running the 64-bit version of the OS."Installation went smoothly. After rebooting everything worked fine. But when I shut down my notebook and switched it on a little later it came up with a blue screen with a Stop 0x50 in Win32k.sys. I could not even boot into safe mode as Windows failed to start no matter which mode chose," wrote a user identified as "xformer" to start a now-long thread on Microsoft's support discussion forum.http://www.computerworld.com/s/article/9250446/Microsoft_urges_customers_to_uninstall_Blue_Screen_of_Death_update Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Srinivas Jyotula Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 The update users should de-install is correctly identified as KB2982791, not simply MS14-045 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Levo Posted August 18, 2014 Share Posted August 18, 2014 Why bother if its working fine?My update went without any hiccups and system is fine. As was the news on some other boards a new iso with this update was unlikely, but with MS messing up as usual it may happen if installlation by update is breaking things.Well by then we'll have threshold 9 to play around with.So no worries.
