Microsoft Patches appear to be causing problems
Just a heads up to our readers. We have received multiple reports of Microsoft patches causing machines to hang. There is also a report that Microsoft has pulled one of the patches. Specifically, we have had issues reported with the Visual Studio Patch. We will continue to monitor the situation and keep you posted. If you have any more information on this please leave us a comment.
Thank you
Mark Baggett

KB3001652 is not a security update but is the one causing freezing of computers while installing. Reports are it's been pulled and when we do a WSUS sync we're not seeing it.

On one system I got a installation window and I had to accept the Eula and continue and finish the installation. On two other system I terminated the 'vstor_redist.exe *32' process! The Windows Update installation continued with the other updates after this.

All my clients who had Office installed on their computer got hung up in yesterday's Windows update. It took more than 18 hours for one person's update to complete, but his computer may have been restarted and his was the only desktop (other than mine that also failed). All the others were laptops. The only solution was to hold down the physical start button for 5 seconds and restart the computer. That caused several reboots to occur after successive updates were processed. That still left some updates unprocessed.
I found that the Visual Studio update was a primary culprit, though there may have been others. I am in the middle of updating a client's computer now by updating one update at a time. I will report back if any of them get hung up.

This is on a system that doesn't have VS 2010 installed, though the writeup still is dated October and still says "To apply this hotfix, you must have Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 installed." The system detecting it doesn't have VS installed, unless having Office 2013 Pro Plus installed is enough to trigger it.
