I’ve been holding off KB 2859537 on both my main PC and laptop, despite constant prompting. Somehow, this week it’s installed itself on both without my selecting it. I can’t be sure if I mistakenly installed it or whether Windows Update got fed up with my procrastination and did it anyway.

I received no BSODs, but on one machine Malwarebytes Pro came up with error messages, even after I reinstalled it. When I rebooted, I discovered the update was taking effect and Malwarebytes ran okay after that.
