Has anyone had any issues with there computer after recent upates (2/15-2/16) installed. I have a few users that 2 of there computers took several tries to start up this morning. 2 of them are running windows XP and the other is running windows 7. The only common denominator was the updates so I was wondering if anyone else experienced the same problem.

7 Spice ups

What else do the machines have in common that the other don’t? Application? Hardware?

Someone mentioned it crashed their server yesterday and had to restore it. We’ve not had any issues here. Might do a system restore and hold off on the updates for a week or two and let M$ straighten it out.

No problems reported here

5

no…but keep us informed

6

I’ve got one W7 pc that had a bunch of services get hosed after updates ran last night. It was unable to log into the domain this morning, then under a local logon the firewall service could not be started and the it was unable to find the local network.

Re-imaging now, but it was mostly office 2010 updates that installed.

7

All win7 here, no known issues after updates last night.

8

All our PC’s pretty much run the same applications and same hardware. Office 2007 and they all have dell computers. They were able to finally get into their computers and are running fine now, I was just curious if anyone else had problems. There is a possiblitly that other users had the same problem and just didnt say anything.

We’re good. Win 7 has been very very good to me.

10

I updated a XP a Vista and a 7 and no problems here.
The Vista pc came back up slow but that is normal for that pc.

11

No issues reported from the test group (a mix of xp x32, win7 x32, and 7 x64) which received them Tuesday night. But maybe I’ll hold off on mass deployment until later next week.

I was running windows 8 and windows 7 and when the computer restarted for updates it must have restarted and went into windows 8 and got updates and restarted again and my windows 8 got hosed. Took me a good while to completely wipe out windows 8 and restore the bootloader to default to windows 7 so I could actually work.

13

Installed on Windows XP, 7 and Server 2003 and they all booted back normally. Was slow in installing on Windows 7 but other then that nothing specific to report.

14

No issues for us. We have a mix of XP and 7 machines. We only have two Windows 8 boxes but as far as I know they don’t get updates. I’m using one of those right now with no issues.

One thing to look for. You said there were network issues/firewall. To speak in highly technical terms, if our stuff isn’t jiving just turn off the Windows Firewall(s). You might depend on them in your network so consider that. We don’t an it usually isn’t an issue if one gets turned on but it can cause some odd problems if it does. It usually gets turned on during an update.

15

All Windows 7 here, no issues to report as of yet.

16

YES! We are having an issue where after the user logs in it takes literally 10 mins of staring at a black screen and a mouse cursor for it to load. We are currently trying to pinpoint the cause. I’d say it happened to about 85% of our users. We are running windows 7.

17

To those affected - did issues persist or do things seem better today? Did anyone uninstall the updates to see if that fixed anything? I appreciate your feedback. :slight_smile:

I can’t come across any official word as to whether or not this last round of updates are problematic. Anyone else? Don’t get me wrong; the community is official as anything.

18

Today seemed fine. I did not uninstall any updates and the users that were locked up yesterday were ok today when they logged in.

19

I had two users report issues.
Both XP SP3.
One booted without loading their profile, so got the default user profile. Rebooted, and they were fine.

Other one had to check their outlook OST for errors.

Fine otherwise.

20

Yeah, today seemed find, except for those who didn’t reboot yesterday. We’re chalking it up to Windows updates.
