KB2533552 Stopping Windows 7 from booting

Jimi · 12 May 2011 at 23:30

I installed this update last night, turn my PC on this evening and Windows wouldn't boot up. It just hung on the the black Windows loading screen. I had to do a system restore.

Anyone else having problems with this update?

I noticed my PC took 10-15 minutes to boot this morning, i was busy at the time to actually have a closer look but by the time i sat down it finished booting up.

Edit scrap that, i just did a quick search for that update and it doesnt look like its installed on my computer...

If you have SP1 then no, you dont need it.

BUT it may be required when/if SP2 comes out. Info for the update here!

mine got stuck on installing this update yesterday moring and just kept going round in circles,in the end i went into safe mode and deleted the update files from the software distribution folder, then rebooted and i downloaded and updated again with no problems.
was kind of annoying but just glad it sorted itself out in the end.
win7 ultimate 64bit

Had a long wait with this one but it installed.

This is an update to the update utility so I can see the potential for it going screwy

Yep same here, black screen then 2 restarts until it came back to normal

Happened again just now when I turned my PC on!

Might leave it for 15 or so minutes next time it happens, I haven't reinstalled the update though so I can't understand why it's still doing it.
