    Exclamation M$ reissues KB 2952664, KB 2976978, KB 2977759

    FYI...

    Deja vu all over again: Microsoft reissues KB 2952664, KB 2976978, KB 2977759
    The three Win7/8.1 updates have returned and brought the warmed-over KB 3138612 and 3138615 Windows Update patches with them
    - http://www.infoworld.com/article/304...b-2977759.html
    Mar 2, 2016 - "Yesterday, Microsoft re-re-released three patches - KB 2952664, KB 2976978 and KB 2977759 - all of which offer "compatibility" updates for those of you hell-bent on upgrading from Windows 7 or 8.1 to Windows 10 via Windows Update. We also received two -new- patches - KB 3138612 and KB 3138615 - that update Windows Update by replacing their tired, old counterparts... If you're running Windows 7 and headed to Windows 10 sometime soon, then by all means, install the 'patch'. If not, fuhgeddaboutit... Bottom line: Unless Windows Update is horribly slow, I don't see any reason at all to install any of these 'optional' updates."

    When a security update is not a security update ...
    Microsoft buried a 'Get Windows 10 ad generator' inside this month's Internet Explorer security patch for Windows 7 and 8.1
    - http://www.infoworld.com/article/304...ty-update.html
    Mar 9, 2016 - "If Microsoft's documentation is correct, installing Patch Tuesday's KB 3139929* security update for Internet Explorer also installs a new Windows 10 ad-generating routine called KB 3146449**... putting an 'ad generator' inside a security patch crosses way over the line. In fact, you have to ask yourself if there are any lines any more... It's important to note that KB 3146449 is not installed separately. You can't remove it. If you look in your installed updates list, KB 3146449 doesn't appear. Instead, it's baked into the IE security patch KB 3139929. The only way to get rid of the new advertising inside Internet Explorer 11 is to remove the security patch entirely... Rubbing salt in the wound: PCs attached to -corporate- domains are spared the pain - but not the bits - of this decidedly nonsecurity patch. In bypassing domain-joined PCs, Microsoft has avoided the inevitable screams of "foul play" from its largest corporate customers."

    Apr 8, 2016 - "... They appear in Windows Update as optional and unchecked.
    KB 2952664 is a "compatibility update" that eases upgrading from Win7 SP1 to Win10. It now sits at version 20, up from 19 last week.
    KB 2976978 does the same thing, but for Windows 8 and 8.1. It's at version 24, up from 22. There's no indication why Microsoft gave it an additional version number bump.
    KB 2977759 covers the same bases, but for Windows 7 without SP1. It, too, has been given an extra bump, from version 18 last week to version 20 this week..."
