Are you seeing update KB 3185319 being offered for Internet Explorer?

Posted on April 28, 2019 at 17:20 CDT by woody • Comment in the Forums

Günter Born just reported that he’s seen two cases of Win7 users being offered KB 3185319 — an update from Sept. 13, 2016 — as a checked Important update to Win7. It’s part of the MS16-104 bundle.

I wrote about bugs in this patch back in October 2016.

Any idea what’s happening? Or is this just another Windows Update snafu?

What happens when a bundled update has a bug in it?

Easy question. Not an easy answer.
