AskWoody_MVPOf course, now everything posted while the new comment system was down using the old comment system, no longer is showing up. This includes comments I made during this period on several posts. Especially about new developments in the Equifax data security breach.
Any chance those comments were somehow preserved somewhere and could be added to the new-style comment threads?

ManagerHere’s what I posted about the KB4038777/KB4036586 problem with IE11
On all 8 of my Win7 installations, VMs and hardware, in IE11 I have set “Show tabs on a separate row”
On one VM, Win7 Pro x64, after installing KB4038777 Sep Monthly Rollup, IE would not start at all. Uninstalling the Rollup fixed the problem. Installing KB4038779 Security-Only Update did not cause the problem, but installing KB4036586 IE Cumulative Update DID cause the problem and uninstalling it fixed the problem.
I tried RV’s suggestion by UNCHECKING “Show tabs on a separate row,” then installing KB4036586 (IE CU). IE came up normally. I CHECKED “Show tabs on a separate row,” – IE failed to start at all.
In the registry editor, I made this change:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\MINIE ShowTabsBelowAddressBar = 0
IE again started OK.
I then flip-flopped the Registry setting between 0 and 1 – IE works if set to 0, does not work if set to 1.I then reinstalled KB4038777 Monthly Rollup with no problem if tabs in IE ARE NOT on a separate row.
Who knows why this did not affect the other 7 of my Win7 installations which all had tabs on a separate row! Maybe it is (the only) Win7 Pro.
UPDATE 9/16: The Win7 VM that had a problem with IE11 tabs on a separate row is on a Retina screen with high resolution (2880 x 1800). Using information quoted by @Richard here
I tried changing the Icon font size.
Right click on the desktop or in Control Panel
Personalization\Win Color\Advanced appearance settings\IconIt (icon font size) was initially set at 18 to make it large for the high resolution. If I reduced it to 16, I could set tabs on a different row in IE. 17 or 18 caused IE to fail to start if tabs were on a separate row.
So I think it is actually the Icon font size that is causing IE to fail after installing KB4038777 or KB4036586.
Edit: to add info about Win7 Pro and Icon font size

AskWoody PlusForgive me if I’m being dense, but I’m a bit confused.
It seems like you’re saying that the patches will not cause a problem if you already have IE 11 set up so that tabs and the search box are on the same line.
Then, when talking about icon font size it seems that the WIN 7 machine that had a problem had tabs in a separate row and a font size of 18. Then you say if you reduced the font size to 16 you could get the tabs on a separate row. But weren’t the tabs already on a separate row when the size was 18? You say a size of 17 or 18 caused IE11 to fail, but it seems that a size of 16 also caused a failure because the tabs were on a separate row.
My tabs and search box are all on the same row and my icon size is 32. I haven’t tried installing any of the September patches yet.
I am absolutely not arguing with you, just trying to understand. 🙂
Thank you so much for your work in yet again figuring out another MS Snafu.

ManagerInitially, when I installed KB4038777, it was with whatever the defaults had been for a long time (Icon font size. not icon size, was 18, but I did not know that b/c there was no reason for me to look). IE11 failed to start at all. I did the uninstall\reinstall thing after setting tabs to the same row as the address bar to prove KB4038777 was responsible.
But then I read @Richard‘s post. With KB4038777 installed and the tabs on the same row, I could start IE – so I went looking for the icon font size to see what it would do. I found if I lowered it to 16, IE would start with tabs on a separate row. But if I raised the font size to 17 or 18, IE failed to start.
So it seems that the font may be too big for the tabs (???) if they are on a separate row but not if they are on the same row as the address bar, and that was the real cause. Not whether tabs were on the same of separate rows, but the size of the icon font.
Is that a little clearer?

DrBonzo
AskWoody PlusGot it! I didn’t read your explanation carefully enough. I also failed to distinguish between ‘icon size’ and ‘icon font size’.
FWIW (admittedly, probably not much) my icon font size is 9 and the search box and tabs are all on the same line. But I still haven’t installed any September patches; waiting for DEFCON 3.
Thanks again.

ManagerIt seems the reason that I only had trouble with one Win7 installation was it was the only one with sufficiently high resolution to need increased font size of 18. I think the normal default is 9, which means most people won’t have a problem no matter where their tabs are set.
I also suspect that the cut off point will be determined by the resolution and may not be the same for all.It’s best to wait for MS-DEFCON 3. I am one of the “tester” type people that can handle a blowup on my test machines, find what caused it, and deal with the consequences (most of the time, anyway). Most people can’t afford to be a Guinea pig.

AskWoody LoungerMan, I’m so glad I’ve decided to deliberately stay behind on updates as it continues to yield rewards that keep on giving. Mess after mess, meh. It really makes me lean back towards a Group W approach unless there’s another EternalBlue type exploit that needs a patch applied. These new patches keep coming with new problems which really makes MS look like a bunch of bumbling idiots time and time again.
As far as bbpress, maybe it wasn’t such a good choice? Isn’t there a better one or are you sure you can track down the problem? If it is causing this much downtime due to such an elusive problem, I wouldn’t consider it to be a very good option IMO. I do miss the “Recent Replies” section on the side, but surely this feature isn’t exclusive to bbpress. Anyway, hope it gets sorted soon one way or the other.

AskWoody Lounger@Sessh: I don’t really “know” what Group “W” is, however at this point in time, guess that’s where I’ll be since I cannot even DL & Install an “MS Important” update (KB4034664). It is only getting worse and worse. Began having a problem in April, and have not been able to get it resolved.

AskWoody Lounger@walker……. There is another way besides Group W…….let me explain what happened to me.
I too had a problem in July with the Security update which BSOD’d my Win7 Pro laptop (apparently the July monthly security roll up did the same) so I wasn’t able to update as I had to uninstall it. This didn’t happen to everyone…….. only a few without any rhyme or reason.
So basically it would mean that you would be running a machine without any kind of security updates. This also would include Group A as well as Group B – because this not only affected those installing the Security patch from MS Catalogue but also those who were updating via Window’s Update as per “MS’s Recommended” Stance.This prompted me to really think and ask questions about transitioning to MAC –
PK Cano has written some great articles explaining how she did it and in so doing has also provided those who are interested with so much information. This can all be found at “iOS for Windows wonks” in FORUMS at the top of the page. Unfortunately it’s not available at the moment because of the ‘melt down’ but as soon as the site is up and running properly you will find all of her articles. I really think one’s resolve has been challenged so much recently with all the dodgy patches that seem to abound….. I know mine has and quite frankly – enough is enough. There is more to life than having to fix stuff that shouldn’t have been broken in the first place. Let’s face it if you bought something and it didn’t work or was playing up…….. you would take it back and ask for a refund. I’m getting tired of all these shenanghans – just want stuff to work… Just my 2 bits!!! LT“If you think squash is a competitive activity, try flower arranging.” Alan Bennett

AskWoody Plus@lizzytish I agree there’s more to life than fixing stuff that shouldn’t have broken in the first place. I want a real computer, and for me a chromebook isn’t a real computer, so that means either a Mac or a Unix machine.
Over the last 15 years everyone I know who’s had a Mac absolutely loves them. “They just work.” And on those rare occasions they don’t work, Apple support makes these people feel that their Mac problems are absolutely the most important problems in the world at that moment, and don’t seem to rest until the problems are solved. Quite a contrast to MS, eh?
Over the last month I’ve converted 2 old laptops to Ubuntu, and if you don’t mind fiddling a bit, you get a very stable machine with no drama on updates, etc.
Still not sure which of the 2 directions I’ll end up taking, but it sure will be away from MS.

AskWoody_MVPI long since replaced the missing IE search box with one from a 3rd party add-on (Quero Toolbar). As such, when I apply the patch I just put the tabs on the same line as the address bar and keep my search box on the line with the menus…
Under this condition this month’s patches seem to be fine on my test systems.

AskWoody_MVPRemember that thing, control that we pine for here on Askwoody.com? Control over our updates, control over cloud communications, control over settings, control over advertising…
By the way, the kinds of problems Woody is having here on this site could be seen as the result of loss of (or lack of) control.

GuestAnother perspective: Someone always has control, de facto or intended. Whether it is thought-through in the interest of the user is another question. Often it isn’t at all. People who have the power, including software designers, will do what they want until they meet with a constraint.

AskWoody PlusI seem to have installed KB4041083 (the .net framework update) ok on my Windows 7 machine with Office 2010 installed.
I did so ahead of Defcon 3 because of the warning over “Enable Editing”, but I wish people wouldn’t be so openly or implicitly critical of those who use that function. In my case I only rarely need actually to edit a document, usually I have to “Enable Editing” in order simply to print off a hard copy. If there’s a way of getting round that then I’d be delighted to hear it!
I’m leaving this update uninstalled on my other Windows 7 machine until Defcon 3 along with the other updates on both machines (monthly quality rollup KB4038777 and the MSRT) plus on the first machine 7 Office 2010 updates of which only 6 are checked, the exception being KB4011089.
Good luck Woody and team with the ongoing system restoration. Obviously it’s up to you as to whether you inform us in due course as to the nature and cause of the problems but if there are any lessons or merely tips for us all to learn from it that would be incredibly useful, including the role any backing-up arrangements may have played in the restoration whether successfully or otherwise. Thankfully this degree of loss of service is extremely rare so there aren’t many opportunities to draw from the experience when it does happen.

GuestBasically “Enable Editing” is just disabling protected mode and opening normally. Most bad documents appear to be obviously bad when opened in protected mode. (don’t open, crash, contains instructions for enabling macros to “see” “real” content).
If you didn’t avoid the document in the first place, and open in protected mode and see “whoa this doesn’t look right” you can just close it. You aren’t likely to then say “I need to edit this” or “I need to print this”. Only people who click “Enable Editing” all the time as pure reflex are at abnormally high risk.

AskWoody_MVPMy tests went well with my Win 8.1 virtual machine, so I updated (Group A style) my Win 8.1 workstation early this morning and so far everything’s gone perfectly afterward, including quite a bit of development work and heavy use of Internet Explorer (with tabs on the same line as the Address bar). Even Office 2010 so far has been fully functional.
In short, I’m seeing NO problems with the September Windows 8.1 updates.
Regarding the IE tab issue…
Now, after a few years of stupidly combining the search and address bars into a type something interesting in here and see what happens box, we see that Microsoft is once again bringing back the search box that they never should have removed… Good morning Microsoft. Did you sleep well while the rest of us worked hard?
See my comment from 6 years ago:
Long ago I installed an open source add-on called the “Quero Toolbar” that brought back a controllable/configurable search box. Everything but the search box could be deconfigured. Voila, a separate search box! Finer than frog hair. And the searching facilities can easily be turned off in the address bar, so it could (and can) be returned to being just an address bar.
Fast forward to 2017 and – only because I can’t hide it entirely – I have no problems putting the only tab I ever see (because I don’t use tabs, I like windows) next to the address bar, where it’s out of the way.
(trying to insert a screen grab here, but alas, that’s still broken)
It sure seems like the less you do things “Microsoft’s way”, the better, eh?

AskWoody LoungerWhaaa is going on?
Hope we get the database restored.
Also, about that CVE-2017-8759 thing. I ran through the updates then started reading a bit more. As described it only effects *.RTF files, but that single known example from the wild is a .DOC file. So can anyone elaborate? Does CVE-2017-8759 affect .doc, .docx, etc?
Or is it only .RTF? If so, seems like the best advice is, use something else to open those. I use wordpad (don’t know if tha poses an issue). Most of the “enable edit” docs I use are internal company docs, but I’d like to know be clear.

GuestI know anonymous comments can’t be approved (yet) due to technical issues, but I’m going to ask this question anyways for clarification: Does the CVE-2017-8759 vulnerability *only* affect RTF files, or does it affect things like DOCX files as well?
If it only affects RTF files, I *should* be safe holding off on installing the patches until Defcon-3, since I never use RTF files myself anyways. And if I need to view one, I’d much rather use Google Docs or something.

GuestAs AskWoody is coming slowly to life, but not all previous comments are yet available, I repeat here, briefly, something I had posted before the troubles, on a problem with IE11 not reflected in any of those already, at this time, here:
A week or so before the trouble at Woody’s, I finally installed manually the August cumulative update to IE11. In the days that follows, when tried to turn off Windows 7 x64 (Professional) , my PC’s OS, the process froze with the message that IE11 (which I had already turned off, as usual, along with any other application I had been running before calling it a day) was still running and would not let go.
Finally, I could not force-quit it, and I had to use the power button to crash the system.
After this happened in three occasions in as many days, I uninstalled the August cumulative IE11 update. Now I am waiting to install this month’s cumulative, as it seems the only one available from MS. But if and when I do so, it would be with the serious apprehension that, being cumulative, it might well bring back whatever caused the problem in the first place, assuming it was a bug in the update.
I will greatly appreciate some practical advice on this matter.
