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.

    • Claude on Windows is eating up massive amounts of RAM, with no way to stop it by Usama Jawad Anthropic has been in the headlines a lot lately, primarily due to its latest revenue and valuation figures, along with its release of its state-of-the-art (SOTA) Fable model. While its flagship product, Claude, may be very popular among millions of users, a lot of them are now reporting memory issues when using the tool. Over on Claude Code's GitHub repository, an issue raised in February has been gaining traction once again. Basically, Claude Desktop on Windows spins up a 1.8GB Hyper-V virtual machine if you use Claude Cowork or agent mode even once. This happens on each launch of Claude Code even if you plan to use the tool in chat mode only. Several users have upvoted this bug and stated that it's happening on their machine as well. However, it seemingly affects only Claude desktop users on Windows, not customers of the CLI or any other platform. Once the bug is triggered, it also shows a Vmmem process in Task Manager, indicating CPU usage of 0% and RAM utilization of a whopping ~1.8GB. Claude users complain that this process should only spin up when you explicitly launch agent mode or Cowork in Claude, with session files efficiently cleaned up after use. Additionally, they are calling for Claude to gracefully handle the absence of virtual machine-based infrastructure, without compromising on chat performance. It's unclear when this issue originated or what the root cause behind it is, but people are once again actively engaging in the GitHub thread as well as Hacker News. You can also find other technical details and log events over on GitHub. It's unclear if Anthropic will look into this issue, especially since it's already been reported for a few months. However, the bug is also causing major annoyance for users, with many claiming that it has led them to uninstall Claude Code on desktop, as a concrete workaround is not yet known.
