• Where do we stand on the April “Group B” Win7 patches?

  Posted on April 25, 2018 at 08:00 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

  I’m trying to sort through all of this month’s dregs and summarize things for Computerworld readers.

  I see where “Group A” is pretty well set for this month. The re-re-release of KB 4093118 on Monday night makes the Total Meltdown fix relatively innocuous. Yes?

  I’m more concerned about “Group B” and the side-effects of installing KB 4093108. Anybody have a concise summary of where we stand with all of the problems associated with KB 4093108?

  I’m still seeing complaints about “The User Profile Service failed the logon” bugs, but MS has addressed that problem here.
