Why you people use Windows Update? It's totally useless. Try Portable Update or some other alternative.
You are taking my post completely out of context, I was replying to a MrBILL post #13 whose quote is as follows....
"Well, I hope it is until they get these bugs worked out. That said, I'd rather see one or two big bang bug fixes and then hopefully fewer updates and smaller sizes because the system is finally where it needs to be."
This was after I posted "What a monster update.....hope this is not going to be the norm."
The above had nothing whatsoever to do with Server problems during this update of which numerous members, including yourself have alluded to.
!!!!!!!!!!!!!WARNING!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I suggest you STAY AWAY from this update KB3189866. It applied on my Dad's laptop this morning and suddenly he was unable to open his start menu and his volume slider would not appear when he clicked on his speaker icon. It was also impossible to right-click anything on the task bar and use any of the options, such as "Run as Administrator". Basically the task bar did not do ANYTHING besides start an app on the task bar that you double clicked on. Right clicking the start button icon did bring up the usual system stuff. Oh, and clicking on the clock did nothing. I managed to right click on the task bar and get settings to pop up. I immediately went to updates and uninstalled the KB3189866 update and rebooted. Every then worked again. I have been using Windows since version 1 Beta (before version 1). I hate Bill Gates.
BTW, this was on a factory high end $2000 HP-Omen Laptop purchased just last year.
