While KB3153199 only updates the win32k.sys file (and does not supersede KB3145739 but DOES supersede KB3139852), I will manually download & install the KB3153199 security fix on my Win7 machines to resolve the very long WU scan problem. There is a newer win32k.sys security update posted on May 10 – KB3153199 (MS16-062) So the KB3145739 security fix as well as the older KB3139852 fix no longer works as of (yup, I knew it – I saw it coming!) Sad to say this Tuesday May 10, 1pm pacific time, doing a recent Windows Update scan on a Win7 SP1 system has resulted in a seemingly long or 'forever' scan. The article Win7 Windows Update once again taking forever at confirms, that I wasn't hit alone with this Update search issue.

Searching for this update brought me some hits. This Windows Kernel-Mode driver update has been successful installed last night. I decided to start my morning activities to search for Mai 2016 update issues, but don't know, why I started my web search with update KB3153199. But it seems, that the hints mentioned within my blog posts doesn't works anymore for Mai 2016 patch day. I've addressed a slow update search within my German blog post Windows 7: Update findet nichts oder es dauert ewig.

Also a new update search finished within a minute and found another update for Microsoft Security Essentials. Mai 2016 (written this night).īooting my Windows 7 SP1 system this morning I was notified 'all updates from 05/10.2016 are successfully installed'. I mentioned it in my German blog post Patchday: Microsoft Updates vom 10. Here, on my Windows 7 SP 1 productive system it took about an hour to find some updates (whilst a Windows 8.1 machine was able to detect updates within 10 minutes).
