ZDNet All About Microsoft: Microsoft halts Windows Update distribution of security fix after blue-screen reports

Some users are reporting problems with one of the updates in Microsoft's Tuesday patch - automatically uploaded to many people's computers. If you're one, now you know what's going on.


"Microsoft has removed one group of patches it released as part of this week’s Patch Tuesday — MS10-015 (KB977165) – from its Windows Update service until it can investigate reports by some users that it is causing havoc with their PCs.

Microsoft provided an update on the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC) blog on February 11 about its actions, after a day of reports by users with problems, including some XP users claiming blue-screen-of-death (BSOD) issues seemingly resulting from application of the KB977165 patch."
