One of the updates from last week’s Patch Tuesday apparently caused problems for numerous Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 users.

The update, KB3004394, was issued to increase the frequency of root certificate updates from weekly to daily, thereby improving overall system security.

Unfortunately, once the update was installed on affected computers, some software and driver installation programs no longer worked as expected.

Microsoft initially recommended uninstalling the problematic update, but has now released another update (KB3024777) that fixes the problem.

Ars Technica has additional details.
