I’ve been following Woody’s column for a long time in a trade Journal I get at work. I go way back to the DOS V3.0 era when life seemed “easier”.
I’ve been using a Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit for a few years now. I do manual Windows update. It bothers me tremendously when I read there is a buggy patch. Watch out for this, watch out for that, don’t do that, check which chip you have first, etc.
I still have KB4483187 in my list of available updates. Last Dec I think Woody mentioned this update could cause problems. IF Microsoft fixes a patch, do they change the KB number? If not, how can we tell when a previous buggy patch has been fixed?
By the way, the important patches Microsoft lists for me are: KB4483187, KB4487078, KB4489878, KB4474419 and KB890830. I know I should patch eventually, but Microsoft’s track record bothers me.
