"SP1 is fubared admit M$"
Windows 7 customers hit by service pack 1 install 'fatal error' flaws ? The Register
My favourite bits:
The Register has heard from lots of disgruntled readers who are wasting precious time having to rebuild their machines after the service pack had led to fatal flaws in the OS.
"Best thing is, SP1 deletes restore points prior to installing!!!!"
But with Microsoft unable to pinpoint the exact cause of the problem, users are suggesting the only way to avoid the problem is switch off WSUS

I see SP1 is in my list of new updates, but the box isn't checked by default. Is that normal or have they done something to try and stop it getting installed by accident until finding the problem?Originally posted by MaryPoppinsOriginally posted by vetranComment

Windows complains (by default) if the automatic update isn't the default option. I think they need to review that belief.Originally posted by PAH View Post"SP1 is fubared admit M$"

It complains about a security risk IIRC if you turn it off automatic but that doesn't mean you have to apply updates automatically. You can set it to download them automatically or listen for new updates and then it simply lets you know updates are available.Originally posted by pmeswani View PostWindows complains (by default) if the automatic update isn't the default option.
