Microsoft Launches Patch to Remove Botched Updates
http://news.softpedia.com/news/Microsoft-Launches-Patch-to-Remove-Botched-Updates-461430.shtml
It’s a well-known fact that some of the updates released by Microsoft as part of every Patch Tuesday rollout actually cause more harm than good on a number of PCs, so the company then has to look into every report and develop a fix for its fix
This was the case with a patch KB3005628 for Windows 8, 8.1, Server 2012, and Server 2012 R2, which, although it might seem to bring new out-of-band improvements for these platforms, does nothing more than to remove some botched bulletins released by Microsoft in August.
Two months ago, as part of Patch Tuesday, the software giant released KB2966827 and KB2966828 to address some issues in multiple .NET Framework versions, including 2, 3, 3.5, and 3.5.1.
Soon after that, however, it emerged that both these patches were actually causing more problems on computers deploying them, so Microsoft decided to develop a fix that would actually remove all their files.
