May 13 MS will release 2 ‘Critical’ and six ‘Important’ updates.

May 8, 2014 6:50:01 PM from JoeUser ForumsJoeUser Forums

 

It’s been a busy month for MS.

Just last week MS released an unscheduled security patch for the zero-day RCE patch.

So, May 13th will be  ‘Patch Tuesday’ and as usual MS has delineated what will be in the update.

You can read about it here: https://technet.microsoft.com/library/security/ms14-may in far more detail as to what each patch is, and the software affected broken down in the Executive Summary and the “Software Affected” tables as well as the breakdown by OS.

The Malicious Software Removal Tool will be updated as well.

Suffice it to say, this is an update not to be ignored. You can also expect an Adobe Update also on the 13th.

They probably won't show up in Windows Update until tomorrow, that is what usually happens.

LightStar is correct. MS does this to stagger the server load.

Thanks to everyone who kept the post 'alive' . These are really important updates.

I know I may regret this but what function are you doing on the computer that is crawling, internal operations or using your browser?

Booting up after the updates took 4 minutes and every time after that is taking 4 or 5 minutes. Used to take 40 seconds.

What OS kona? 

From my experience a reboot after doing an update will take a little more time than normal, you should even see a screen that tells you that.

I have an SSD and I barely boot up in 45 seconds.

I got 7 important updates...none critical. After the install it took just under three minutes to boot up.

@ kona and anyone else interested...

 

Not all updates complete their entire 'update process' immediately, so it is quite possible......and in cases like with .NET etc. (quite probable) that the 'updated' file(s) in question may still be performing other operations in the background including but not limited to cleanup etc. etc. etc.

 

The above can of course have an averse (albeit temporary) effect on system load-time(s) and/or program responsiveness etc. etc.

 

As stated for instance .NET updates sometimes require additional post-update processing/file operations and while those are usually scheduled for times when the CPU is idle, it is possible for some of those file operations to take place on subsequent system 'reboots' and/or at other times when they may be more noticeable to the user.

I have Windows 7. My point is that even after rebooting 5 times it's still taking upwards of five minutes to boot when it used to take one minute at the most.

That's what makes working with computer interesting......we all set ours up differently or to our own likes, which is why no one is responding having the same experience that you are kona.

If you are using Win8.1 with WB please do not install the optional update in the list until after you upgrade WB to the latest files which will be out on Wednesday.  The automatic ones should be fine, just avoid the optional one for now.

Opening the 'Computer Management' console snapin (START> RUN>compmgmt.msc) and parsing the 'Windows Logs' by drilling down in the 'Event Viewer' may help shed some light.  For explanation of individual event ID's there are several web resources readily available via a quick web search.
