Is KB4057400 safe to install?
I just got this optional update pushed from MS and wonder if anybody
here has installed it on a PC with AMD CPU and how it worked out. Supposedly it fixes the problem caused earlier by KB4056894. |

As recently discussed in another thread in this newsgroup, that is a "preview" release, which I never touch. I characterize previews as being released so that Microsoft can see the users' experience with them, effectively making the users part of the test team. Having retired after 30+ years as a tester of software used to operate space satellites for the military, I prefer not to be an unpaid tester for Microsoft. Updates for these two will be rereleased later, not as "preview" updates and possibly revised. -- David E. Ross http://www.rossde.com/ President Trump: Please stop using Twitter.

It would need a new name, stating it was no longer "half-baked". So why not give it a new number :-) Haven't you seen Jan Feb (Preview) and then next month, it is Feb Mar (Preview) The Feb (Preview) becomes just Feb, and any minor bugs, plus rushed-in, untested additions, become Feb. Ready to brick more machines, or whatever. Then AskWoody will alter the DefCon level on his web site. And then we move on to the next month. Paul |
