What happens when the same sort of mayhem breaks loose on Windows 10 systems, and you can't prevent Windows from installing the bad patch over and over again (or the method for doing so requires a BA in Computer Science)? If the only real solution is for Microsoft to yank the bad patch, how long will it take Microsoft to pull the update? So far this morning, the real-world results aren't very heartening.Quick Acces to Outlook Not Responding Fix OS is Windows 7 Prof, 圆4 and x86 affected.Ī little gedanken experiment, if you will. Uninstalling KB3097877 immediately solves this and sidebar.exe works again. Windows Sidebar Gadgets Stop Working After November 2015 Updates / As soon as KB3097877 is installed, sidebar.exe crashes during launch.
Yet another TechNet thread says the same KB also kills Windows 7 Sidebar gadgets (which were deprecated by Microsoft before Windows 8 arrived).
I see a few others are having similar problem with the sidebar regarding this update. Was able to replicate this issue a few times. Was able to restore to pre-update state no problem.
Installing this update today resulted in APPCRASH AususAudioCenter.exe (App ver 0.3.0.36) ntdll.dll relating to my Asus DX Xonar Sound Card on a Windows 7 64bit Pro Desktop PC. On a different TechNet thread, SRC-UK says:
All these emails were working fine yesterday so the updates are to blame. I'm getting the same problem with Outlook 2010 32bit on Windows 7 64bit, it's only affecting some HTML emails but as soon as you select one in the list I get the error "Microsoft Outlook has stopped working". They were always HTML messages, typically the sort of "on sale" e-mail you get from distributors etc that include a lot of tables, images etc. Was finding that specific e-mail were consistently causing Outlook 2010 and Outlook 2013 to crash. Also on the TechNet forums, poster TrulyVexed says: The same botched patch is blamed for a specific set of symptoms with Outlook 20. There may be a solution for some systems: Unplug the network cable and/or unplug the touchscreen USB cable and/or disable the touchscreen by whatever means. (I'll likely be looking into setting up WSUS after this) We have about 150 computers and only 5 have been reported so far with this problem, I know for a fact that a lot of computers were just shutdown over night so they are likely downloading updates this morning automatically.
The computers that this has happened to in my domain are all Windows 7 64 bit that are configured to download and install all critical windows updates overnight. I have 5 reported computers that just get a black screen after hitting Ctrl+Alt+Del, we can't log them into the domain. We are no able to log in a significant amount of computers, this also happens in safe mode where upon pressing control alt delete for login it turns to a blank screen with just a mouse cursor. There's a lengthy series of network logon complaints on the TechNet forums, led by poster Asomodai, who reports: This KB is specifically for all supported versions of Windows (including Windows RT and RT 8.1) except Windows 10. KB 3097877 is part of security bulletin MS15-115, which is (yet another) critical patch to fix vulnerabilities in OpenType fonts.
As of this moment, Microsoft hasn't acknowledged any problems in KB 3097877, and the only surefire workarounds involve uninstalling the patches or rolling back to an earlier system restore point. The day is yet young, but I'm seeing lots and lots of reports of crashes, hangs, and odd behavior attributed to KB 3097877.
