• Win7 security patch KB3146706 causing problems?

    Posted on April 16, 2016 at 07:44 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    I’m seeing lots of reports of MS16-044 / KB 3146706 throwing errors – most commonly blue screen 0x0000006B – that go away if the patch is removed.

    Remarkably, almost all of the reports (for example, this one on site vvcat) are in Chinese. Makes me wonder if there’s a conflict between KB3146706  and a program that’s commonly run in China. We saw something similar three years ago with KB 2823324, which triggered BSODs on many computers in Brazil.

    AskWoody denizen LL wrote to me and said that it looks like Microsoft is still distributing the patch through Windows Update, but isn’t checking it — which is typically a precursor to yanking the patch entirely.
