Latest MS Patches Cause Black Screen of Death

[Guest]

Just dia[citation][nom]mqz4[/nom]can anyone tell me which update is causing all the problems?I have the following update in the queueDefinition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.71.346.0)My last update was on the 24th November.[/citation]
Just disable UAC (User Access Control) from the Administrator Account and that should solve the problem.

As for the update you asked about, that's nothing more than a Windows Defender Definition updated.

The update causing the problem updates the Access Control List.

When it comes to security updates anyway, its a wise person who puts off til tommorow what can screw up their system today. I have never ever had automatic updates turned on, I always wait a few weeks before I attempt to download and install criticals. Its not just MS though, AVG free really screwed up awhile back by targeting system files as viruses, and when Webroot Spyware went from version 4 to 5 it was a total cats astrophy. Up until Version 5, I bought and paid for Webroot every year. After Version 5, they have not got a penny from me.

Its nice I have that option with an installable security program, but thats not the case with an OS. I can't just refuse to use it, its the meat of the system.

What I don't understand is why they don't just pull the update immediately until the problem is fixed. Instead they screw their customers because only a certain percentage are being affected. That is just poor buisness and moronity if you ask me.
