[QUOTE="B-boy/StyLe/, post: 1075359, member: 99565"] All installed fine but after a reboot I noticed that the most of my pinned shortcuts were gone (despite they are still in the [B]%appdata%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\User Pinned\TaskBar[/B]) and also my icons in the system tray were gone as well. It wasn't Kaspersky, Comodo or Open-Shell causing the problem. Restarting the [B]explorer.exe[/B] fixed the issue, at least for the current session. After a reboot, the same happened and I had to kill and restart explorer.exe manually again. Uninstalling the update didn't fix that.

For now, I will wait for a hotfix or simple will restore the image before the updates from today. Not a big deal, but really annoying.
