Double-print-fixing patches updated, but still only on the Catalog

Posted on August 30, 2016 at 14:34 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

If you’re having problems with the double-print bug in MS16-098 — the one we’ve been talking about for three weeks now — the plot’s become even thicker.

The Catalog-only update, KB 3187022, has just been re-issued, with no explanation.

The Win10 version 1511 (Fall Update) fix has been posted to the Catalog, KB3186988 (thanks, abbodi86). It’s official title is particularly illuminating:

CRITSIT- CATALOG ONLY – Cumulative Update for Windows 10 1511 – KB 3186988 – 2016.08 OOB

I’ve seen no new information on that unreleased “cumulative” update, KB 3186987.

Wonder if MS will ever get the problem fixed?

If this is the way we’re going to get cumulative update fixes, we’re in a world of hurt.
