May 13 MS will release 2 ‘Critical’ and six ‘Important’ updates.

from JoeUser Forums

 

It’s been a busy month for MS.

Just last week MS released an unscheduled security patch for the zero-day RCE patch.

So, May 13th will be  ‘Patch Tuesday’ and as usual MS has delineated what will be in the update.

You can read about it here: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-may in far more detail as to what each patch is, and the software affected broken down in the Executive Summary and the “Software Affected” tables as well as the breakdown by OS.

The Malicious Software Removal Tool will be updated as well.

Suffice it to say, this is an update not to be ignored. You can also expect an Adobe Update also on the 13th.

Quoting Neil, reply 23

If you are using Win8.1 with WB please do not install the optional update in the list until after you upgrade WB to the latest files which will be out on Wednesday.  The automatic ones should be fine, just avoid the optional one for now.

Thank you, Neil, for your reply!  I updated all 33 updates and the optional KB2955164 update, and received a black screen after entering my PIN.  I tried many different fixes, but nothing helped.  Thankfully someone said long ago to make sure you have another Admin user account, so I was able to log in to that account and delete that optional update.  After that, I was able to log into my regular user account.

I just saw this thread and was going to warn of the optional update.  I'm glad to know that it had to do with an incompatibility with WB. 

Thanks again!

I usually leave the optional ones alone for that very reason.

I got 15 updates on Windows 7 and 21 on Windows 8. Guess they released a lot more than 8 updates total.

Probably the rest were optional?  ;)
