This critical update released for Windows 7
Table of contents:
There are more and more comments on the networks for the failures, too many for many, that is having Microsoft with the latest patches released to the market In fact right now I have a patch pending installation, KB4056892, which forces me to restart the computer without it installing in an infinite loop.
Bugs that users are experiencing that are not isolated or exclusive to Windows 10 Other versions of Windows are experiencing the same errors of the American company and an example is given in Windows 7, a version that offers problems with some patches released by those from Redmond.
This is not how Microsoft is done
These are specifically those numbered KB4088875 and KB4088878, available patches that, eye, can cause Internet connection problems The problems would apparently be caused by the affectation they make to the network card or LAN adapter.
In fact, on Reddit they state that they can even cause the deletion of the configuration of a static IP or the creation of false network cardson the computers where they are installed. The consequence is none other than problems accessing the network.
The KB4088875 patch is available for Windows 7 Service Pack 1 and for Windows Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1 and after the computer is installed You can start experiencing the failures already mentioned with solutions that go back to a previous point in history in which everything worked correctly, avoid and postpone the update or, as some affected comment, eliminate the fictitious network card that is created.
The problem is that we don't know which is worse, the cure or the disease, because Microsoft recommends installing this patch because includes security corrections and protective measuresagainst Meltdown and Spectre.
Microsoft is already aware of the bugs caused by these patches for Windows 7, so hopefully they will offer an official solution to all these problems .
