Cumulative Update KB3201845 Windows 10 Build 14393.479

pokeefe0001 · 13 Dec 2016

Googling KB3201845 turns up a lot of hits reporting internet connectivity problems (although at least one article admits that the reports of problem started several days before KB3201845 was released). Most, but not all of the reports imply problems with wireless adapters. Some report that Microsoft has given a circumvention of restarting (but not shutting down followed by rebooting).

Is this all just fear-mongering or are there problems with this update?

I do have some goofy problems with my laptop (SP3) on restart. It's connected via WiFi and sits at "Preparing Desktop", just spinning. Restart with hdwe button gets it back up, not clicking Restart.

I guess this one was real. See the discussion at Windows update knocks out internet connections - Windows 10 Forums Microsoft has released a fix for the problem.
