Windows 7’s Latest Update

[AKQwik]

I updated this week the “3 important Microsoft updates (KB4345590, KB434900 & KB890830)” first on my non gaming computer and then on my AH rig.  It might be a coincidence, but on the first one after restart I received the warning "Disk Failure is Imminent".  I didn't think much about it because there is an old SATA drive along with a newer SSD drive that I replaced an identical SATA with last year when it was failing.  When I was in the middle of updating my gaming PC it crashed to blue screen, telling me my disk is corrupted.  At that point all it would do is restart itself and continue to crash and restart.  My only recovery was to insert the Windows 7 CD and restore to a set point earlier in the day.  Gaming PC is back to normal without the updates, the other PC is still warning me at start up.  I don't know if there is a connection, but 2 PCs having disk problems after a MS update seem suspect.

Did anyone else update Windows 7 this week and were there problems?  Anyone have any thoughts on this?

I personally think MS would love to rid the world of Windows 7 PCs, but would they put a poison pill in an update?

Never trust MS

I have Win 7 and those 3 updates have not been installed on here. KB890830 is the malicious software update tool, KB4345590 is .net framework update, and the other looks like it is missing a number somewhere. 0830 was pending to be installed but I have that update hidden right now. Ill try to hide the others also

It wouldn't be logical knowing that its support will end in a year and a half. Then again, knowing how popular XP remained for a couple of years after its support ended, who knows? There should be an Edward Snowden working for Microsoft and other large organizations! Then again, there's probably thousands of people who most likely would know if something like that was going on. I'm talking about those who write the Bible size manuals for each and every version of Windows. It's hard to believe they all could be paid silent if something like that happened.

Anyway, thanks for warning! I'll let the Redmond guys fix their potential coding errors until updating my system.

Interesting.  I installed the .net framework update because the Handbrake daily requires .NET 4.7 and I figured it was good to keep it patched.  I have had a bit of weirdness since playing MP3s with Winamp from as USB Flash card.  It had worked flawlessly until now.  The weirdness was pauses in playback, as if it had difficulty reading the file.  I installed only .NET 4.7  and the .NET patch, none of the other updates.
