So, i've been troubleshooting a couple of computers with Windows 7 x64 that had IE9 (cannot upgrade the browser to a newer one) and after installing Windows Updates IE9 just stopped working (crashes); it's pretty random: it can happen after a while, immediately after opening or while navigating to a site with heavy AJAX.

 

Also in other cases a single update caused problems with Office 2010 and Virtuabox (KB3004394), so have a special attention as well.

 

The following updates are the ones causing problems:

?         KB3008923 ? Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer: December 9, 2014

?         KB3011970 ? December 2014 update for Microsoft Silverlight 5

?         KB3004394 ? December 2014 update for Windows Root Certificate Program in Windows

?         KB3002339 ? Unexpected dialog box appears when you open projects in Visual Studio 2012 after you install the .NET Framework 4.5.3

?         KB2553154 ? MS14-082: Description of the security update for Microsoft Office 2010: December 9, 2014

 

Also the KB3004394 can make the computer/server to be unable to remove updates or to just fail to install newer updates. There is a fix for this, witch is installing a newer update: KB3024777 

 

Guys, BEWARE!

      Payday 2 engine upgrade adds 64-bit and DX11 support, drastically shrinks install size by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe Payday 2, the most popular entry in the heisting game franchise, is getting a surprising update after all these years. This is slated to be a complete engine upgrade that will enhance almost every aspect of the 13-year-old title, targeting performance, loading times, file size, rendering backend, and more. Developer Sidetrack Games is planning a beta to test out the new version ahead of the full public launch. The development team today revealed that the long-awaited upgrade to the 64-bit architecture is happening with this Diesel 3.0 engine update. By letting the game use more ram than 4GB, it is said to improve stability and compatibility on most hardware. It should also help modders in the long term with implementing larger changes too. "While many of the changes are made on the backend and not everything will be visible to you guys because it is a massive rewrite of the entire codebase, there will be a lot of things that you can look forward to," Sidetrack explained. Payday 2 will also hop over from DirectX 9 to 11. Instead of visual improvements, this is slated to reduce the amount of VRAM used by the title, letting more lower-end hardware access the title and run it better. Since these changes would require a complete redownload of the game anyway, Sidetrack says it has revamped "the game's packaging and bundling system." This should reduce the installation size from 86GB to 32GB. "So, now it's time to finally move the game to your SSDs," added the studio. The Payday 2 Diesel Engine 3.0 update is entering open beta on June 30 for Steam users. No console release plans were announced today. Sidetrack Games says it has been working on this complete rewrite of the codebase for the last nine months. While these changes should break most mods, the studio encouraged modders to use the beta period to repair their creations with support from the development team.
