#Update pirated windows 7 update

We saw something similar three years ago with KB 2823324, which triggered BSODs on many computers in Brazil.ДЄskWoody denizen LL wrote to me and said that it looks like Microsoft is still distributing the patch through Windows Update, but isn't checking it - which is typically a precursor to yanking the patch entirely. Makes me wonder if there's a conflict between KB3146706 and a program that's commonly run in China. Remarkably, almost all of the reports (for example, this one on site vvcat) are in Chinese. I'm seeing lots of reports of MS16-044 / KB 3146706 throwing errors - most commonly blue screen 0x0000006B - that go away if the patch is removed. Soon after the patch appeared, I posted on about this strange behavior:

It's a nasty and recurring error on boot, and the only way to get out of the error is to boot with some other media and uninstall the patch. Second, red lights went up all over China that the patch was throwing a blue screen error 0x0000006B. It's not clear if the patch was originally unchecked on Win7 PCs or if Microsoft dropped the check mark shortly after the patch rolled out.

#Update pirated windows 7 update

(A checked patch is one that is installed when Windows Update runs.) The patch is checked on Windows 8.1 systems and on Vista. ДЇirst, the patch was unchecked on most Windows 7 PCs, even though it appears in the 'Important' Windows Update list. At the time, patching sirens went off for two odd reasons. Last patch Tuesday, Microsoft released MS 16-044В and KB 3146706В as an 'important' security update for OLE running in Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8.1, Windows RT 8.1, and corresponding server versions. Microsoft certainly has no obligation to support 'ungenuine' copies of Windows 7, but the strange case of KB 3146706 suggests Microsoft might be actively gunning for the pirates.
