Thank you Elly, explaining it fully will help some people figure out what they need to do.

I myself have to update 50 Windows 7 machines every month because I am in group “B”.

I quit installing updates all together last Dec. but found I needed to continue to stay up to date. I haven’t run across problems from before like printers going “poof”.

I did run across a problem this week while working on a Ideapad Win10 piece of… I’ll stop there.

I did the updates for the person and when I got to the last one, it would not move to version 1709, now their moving to another version. Geeesh. Anyway when I did the final one I could do, the USB ports all stopped working, I got a blue screen until I took out the USB stick and it restarted properly. The USB stick was demolished, all my programs and group B monthly updates from Oct. 2016. I am only upset at myself because I swore I would never work on a Win10 machine after the last fiasco.

I would also like to thank all of you that work so hard at keeping us informed of what the big M (i don’t mean McDonals’s) is trying to pull ovr on us.

HiFlyer, Elly

I myself have also stopped all updating as of Dec. 2017. (Also using Opera now).

The confusion, deception, damage and no thoughts of saying were sorry, bah, I  have to work on multiple machines daily, I’ve given up, I just tell the customers to come to this site, read for yourself, install if you want.

HiFlyer

Following instructions I hope I understood, I installed June updates and also for ie11.

I have 10 laptops and computers on the go in Group B so I’m being extra careful.

No BSOD on any over yesterday and so far today.

I will install July after the storm is over and nobody (LOL) is having problems.

Someone mentioned awhile back how hard it is to follow Group B, it’s a waiting and reading game. Sit back, keep cool and don’t be in a hurry to install anything until the Defcon is raised to 3. Been working for me since last Oct.

I’m still waiting for the Defcon 3 to show up for June, as stated before you must install them individually not like ie11 which are cumulative?

My question is the Defcon 3 that is out now meaning okay to do Junes first?

I should add these numbers… KB4022722 & 4021558.

Hey PK, I used Ebay as an example only, I was going to any website and getting the same thing.
What I did di was oopen task manager and found two Internet Explorer running. This happened last Oct. when I started using the B group instead of checking things out myself. Like I mentioned I just got home and have not fired up the other computers to see if they are doing the same thing. By the way, I tried to get to AskWoody when I got home and it said the site was not safe, would that have been when you were down?

Thanks for all you do….
