Default Optional Update (KB3102810) ????

Just got notification that two updates were available. One was a
definition update for Windows Defender and other was the subject.
Tried getting more info on it and got a page "Try searching for what
you need, This page doesn't exist". Curious if anyone else got this
one today? Of course since it was an optional I hid it.

I think the hide is wise. I've changed to only taking the suggested/required updates. But I keep watching to make
sure they don't do (as I hear they might) start making the win 10 updates mandatory.

I just booted my win7 machine to look and you're right, there is no info available. Google and Bing don't even show
hints. Really odd.

Win7 KB3102810
Win8.1 KB3102812

This is the quote for 8.1 which is the same as Win7 but worded
differently, which means the same thing.

*quote*
Installing and searching for updates is slow and high CPU usage occurs
in Windows 8.1 and Windows Server 2012 R2

This article describes an update that contains some improvements for
the Windows Update client in Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, and Windows
Server 2012 R2. This update has a prerequisite.
Issues that are fixed in this update

Issue 1
When you install Windows updates by using System Center Configuration
Manager, the installation takes a long time to complete, and System
Center Configuration Manager becomes overloaded.

Issue 2
The Svchost.exe process takes 100 percent of the CPU usage when you try
to upgrade to Windows 10.

Aha!

So if the errant wuauserv bug which has been around
since WinXP time bites Microsoft on the ass, they'll
fix it ("Issue 2"). If it wastes CPU cycles on a
customer computer for years and years, they don't
give a rats ass. Gotcha.

*******

And in unrelated news, Woody has raised his defcon level.

downloads/

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3102810 - Only relevant if you
receive updates via SCCM (if you are on a domain that uses SCCM to
push Windows Updates), and/or if you're trying to upgrade to Windows
10 and svchost.exe if causing an issue.
