Details on Microsoft update today KB 3006137.

Why in the world is this explanation page so complicated for just a single update?

Do we really need it?

I would think you can skip it. As the article says, you can also do it manually but that changes all settings.

Could be Apple or Android madness as well.

Money changes everything.

But I do my very best to exclude it from my personal universe.

The manual fix is simple if you are doing just one computer.

If you are applying the fix to a whole department or whole company, you probably want the automated fix.

Strange thing is, my update history shows that this update was successfully installed yesterday yet dear old MS won't let me turn off my computer without installing it again! What is so important about this update that it needs to be installed multiple times?
