Earlier this year Microsoft MSFT +0.88% warned users that Windows 7 has serious problems.
The tweak? It switched the status of Windows 7 update KB3133977 from ‘Optional’ to ‘Recommended’. The bizarre part? Despite acknowledging the problems, Microsoft knew they would occur in advance and it has no plans to do anything about it.![]()

Just a heads up! The Forbes article I found this on is dated 5/6/2016. The above KB is put in recommended updates and if you let it install it will block you from using your Operating System. ![]()

I went to my Control Panel and clicked on Windows Update and found the KB #, right clicked and hid the update so it would not download. After downloading the other recommended Updates it seems to be Ok as I restarted it several times.
