Seven new updates from MS today but the problem KB4056894 is not among

Are these safe to install? 1) Backup 2) Install 3) Test or alternately... 1) Enable System Restore 2) Manually set a restore point with a good text name for later. 3) Install 4) Test One of those patches, could be a redesigned '894.

I believe Microsoft is now blocking the patch for KB4056894 on PCs with AMD proceesors because it created severe problems. See https://it.slashdot.org/story/18/01/09/1445253/microsoft-pauses-rollout-of-spectre-and-meltdown-patches-to-amd-systems. As for how fixing the Meltdown and Spectre bugs affects performance, see https://tech.slashdot.org/story/18/01/09/1759241/microsoft-details-performance-impact-of-spectre-and-meltdown-mitigations-on-windows-systems. -- David E.

There is always tomorrow for the lawsuit. The user "Cameo" has already fixed his, using a rescue CD to get to Command Prompt, and a couple offline-flavor DISM commands. You can back out the bad update. Offline refers to "/image:c:" argument, which allows applying the fix to an "OS at rest". In this situation, the boot drive is X: and C: is the actual drive letter of the OS being repaired at the time. (A happy coincidence.) "I was able to use the original Win7 install DVD in Repair Mode that gave my DOS command window where I entered: DISM /image:c:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions Because the corrupt package was not installed completely I was able to use this shorter DISM command instead of the longer DISM /image:c:\ /remove-package /packagename: etc. command.

Paul System restore may/may not be available for use depending on the exact nature of the OS instability which can be introduced by the update. Instead, I'd recommend imaging the system as a whole and reverting to the image if you run into a problem. That way, you're practically guaranteed not to lose anything other than a little time to restore the image. -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = If they give you lined paper, write the other way. |
