Microsoft update 3033929 causing problems

One of the updates made available by Microsoft earlier this week is apparently causing problems on some Windows 7 computers. Details are sketchy at this point, but some users are reporting that their Windows 7 computers get into an infinite reboot loop after installing the KB3033929 update.

Microsoft is expected to release another update or pull the existing update soon. For now, anyone running Windows 7 should avoid this update.

Jeff Rivett has worked with and written about computers since the early 1980s. His first computer was an Apple II+, built by his father and heavily customized. Jeff's writing appeared in Computist Magazine in the 1980s, and he created and sold a game utility (Ultimaker 2, reviewed in the December 1983 Washington Apple Pi Journal) to international markets during the same period. Proceeds from writing, software sales, and contract programming gigs paid his way through university, earning him a Bachelor of Science (Computer Science) degree at UWO. Jeff went on to work as a programmer, sysadmin, and manager in various industries. There's more on the About page, and on the Jeff Rivett Consulting site.
