Does anyone install the Evil update KB2670838?

[Berryracer]

I don't install IE 10 or 11 as they bundle this update if you install them, thus I just update IE 8 to IE 9 and never use IE.

Now in the optional updates, even after more than a year, Microsoft still provides this evil update. Does anyone here install it? I noticed when I installed it, after accessing my external HDD which has 2 TB of videos all in LIST VIEW mode, the fonts were blurry, but a simple refresh fixed that. I wonder what other things is it breaking without me noticing....

Microsoft says this Platform update it supposed to bring in enhancements to hardware acceleration and h.264 videos and others, but it seems the opposite....

your opinions on this is highly appreciated

So what makes it evil other than a random person of unknown qualifications declared it so?

My laptop has Windows 7 & IE11, no problems whatsoever. I have set up a lot of systems with IE11, no problems whatsoever.

I agree with cubby. While it's not impossible that someone somewhere had a problem with this update, I haven't seen any of those symptoms on the thousands (yes) of Windows 7 computers I have worked on that all have IE 10 or IE 11 installed.

Looks like he was reading an article like this one:

I will say that I did have some issues with IE11, but I have the update and IE10, and have not experienced such an issue on any of my Win7 installs.

Installed it some time back in 2013 along with 1500 other computers. No problems that I was aware of.
