Patch Tuesday fixes live - Includes new Surface firmware & rollup patch


Recommended Posts

You should have received a lot more then that, are you sure they didn't auto apply last night? Check your Update History.

Ah, after installing that and restarting, it found 16 important and 1 optional (Bing Desktop, bleurgh). So yeah, all is well.

I'm not sure if it's due to an application I used, or this update, so I'm asking here. (The application was "OblyTile".)

My IE icon on the Start screen is now the metro one, all the time. Previously, the icon would change between the desktop and metro versions depending on whether or not IE was the default browser.

Now, Nightly is my default browser, but the IE icon is still the metro version.

I'm not complaining about this, just curious if something in this batch of patches is the cause.

No, it's been there even before the update. I've asked the OblyTile author about this and he has no solution other than creating a new IE shortcut.

Be careful; Backup your system prior to updating the KB2770917 patch, as it looped just prior to getting the locked screen on Windows 8. I've seen other post regarding similar problems with this one.

Hopfully Microsoft will have a patch for the patch in a couple of days. Not everyone is having this problem.

My install of that patch succeeded.

ahhell you know its only true. Man have you seen some of the windows updates rolling out? I had to migrate a few workstations to larger drives just because of all updates. Granted they where a bit dated. I do find it nice though on windows rt, whenever there is an update you don't have to download a whole darn new image to perform the update like iOS does.

I have a Surface right beside me. Am I concerned? Not in the slightest.

Thanks for the reply.

I also ended up asking him myself, and indeed the problem was OblyTile.

    • Promoting is fine - advertising, informing, whatever.  But interrupting your PAID OS experience is not.
    • Why does a PDF software need an audio player inside it. What is this bloat.
    • Sadly, that is the state of things. It's basically considered acceptable for any random app running on your computer to use 1+ GB of RAM, and install space, lol, no one even seems to consider that.
    • EU Commission explains why Siri AI isn't launching in the EU, and Apple is to blame by Hamid Ganji Image via Apple This week at Apple’s 2026 developers conference, the iPhone maker unveiled the upgraded Siri after more than a year of delays. The new Siri is now called Siri AI, and it's powered by Google Gemini models. While Siri AI is preparing to roll out to Apple users worldwide, the company’s EU customers might need to wait much longer before getting their hands on the new assistant. Shortly after announcing iOS 27, Apple said in a blog post that Siri AI is not coming to the EU anytime soon due to hurdles posed by the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and other regulatory requirements. To comply with the DMA in the EU, Apple apparently needs to open Siri AI to rival assistants on iOS 27 and iPadOS 27. Apple has refused to do so, which has resulted in Siri AI being delayed for its EU users. The company argues that such a move would put users’ privacy at risk. In a statement to Neowin, a European Commission spokesperson provided more details about why Siri AI will not be rolled out to Apple customers in the region. The statement first noted that the DMA does not prohibit Apple from launching its services in the EU and that the company is simply required to comply with the law. The European Commission spokesperson added that, since Apple is considered a gatekeeper under the DMA, it is “obliged to give third parties access to equivalent features as they give to its own products. Because the DMA is precisely about giving users the choice to use the product they find best suits their needs.” Moreover, the spokesperson said the Commission has been in contact with Apple, though the company “did not develop proposals for DMA compliant interoperability solutions.” The statement also clarified that companies designated as gatekeepers cannot leverage their status and products, such as operating systems, to favor their own AI services. The first public beta of iOS 27 will roll out next month, while the stable version is expected to launch this fall following the release of the iPhone 18 series. It remains unclear when Apple will be able to resolve its DMA-related compliance issues with the European Commission and bring Siri AI to its European customers.
