  • Time to install March updates KB 3139852 and KB 3139398?

    Posted on April 24, 2016 at 18:17 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Another good question from TJ:

    The 2 March updates which were we were told to NOT install, have not had
    any further mention, and I was wondering if I missed an “all clear” on them or
    are they still on the “recommend you do not install” list?

    I have these 2 hidden, and wonder if I should “unhide” them if MS changes anything
    on them. These are from March:

    Your advice is most appreciated. I can see that you are extremely busy with everything
    that is occurring with MS at the present time (again), in addition to your work on the
    Windows 10.

    Yeah, times are interesting….

    KB 3139852 has been superseded by KB 3145739. When we move to MS-DEFCON 3 or 4, I’ll likely recommend you install 3145739, just to speed up scanning for updates. You probably won’t even see 3139852.

    KB 3139398 is an odd USB driver fix. It’s still having problems installing on some machines, but if you remove any USB drives in the machine and disable your antivirus, it’ll probably go in fine. There’s a discussion of further problems here on SpiceWorks. Do you need to install it right now? No. I don’t know of any exploits as yet.
