Has anyone else had problems with the miserable kb980408 update?
- by Dan
I wasn't experienced any problems before installing kb980408 for Windows 7 x86. The update made it impossible for me to log into my computer after displaying a "Setting up personalized settings for Windows Desktop Update" message, after killing that task a "Windows Explorer is not responding - Windows is checking for a solution to the problem" message appears, then it waits forever... If I killed that task, I was not able to continue the boot process, if I ran explore.exe manually, the same thing happens.
The solution, by the way, was to boot into safe mode and use the add/remove program in the control panel to uninstall this wretched piece of code.
Start-up repair and/or the use of system restore will not help you, you need to uninstall.
