Does this affect Free Malwarebytes? just manually updated laptops Malwarebytes Free earlier, and Desktops
Not as much - if you try to run it then it will probably have some issues, and may cause a flat out completely unresponsive system, but as long as it is installed but not actually running you're fine.
And it is not an instant whack on your system either - it takes time to build up, and the more RAM you have the longer it is going to take. So, if you absolutely have to run the free version until the fix is available, I'd also open task manager and specifically watch for Memory usage (click the memory tab in Task Manager to sort by memory usage, from highest to lowest) and when that approaches half your installed RAM, stop MB and close out.
but best is to wait until a fix is announced and then follow the instructions on getting the update.
