    • I am having the same problem. Can anyone come up with a way to get rid of this bad update so that the new clean update can be installed? [26 June]

    • I can follow almost all of your reply but not the very intricate parts. I don't have the choices you mention, since I CANNOT uninstall this update. [08 July]

    • I am not clear on all of this...This update has been causing me trouble for several months...I have tried hiding the update. That keeps things clean but it's not the cure...[09 July]

    • An error has occurred. Not all of the updates were successfully uninstalled. [11 July]

    • I don't do coding on this PC so I have no idea how to disable activeXfiltering. I don't have a big problem on  my computer. I can try to use another computer to find the good update. [12 July]

@NJLearner: To avoid confusion & duplication of effort, please post any/all further follow-up in replies to your own, new thread => http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/windows_7-windows_update/unable-to-uninstall-kb2952664/0285127c-03f7-4454-9e95-5ca4c3762f5e (16 June &ff)

You should use IE.

You can check if you have enabled ActiveX filtering, if yes - try to disable it.

You can try to reset IE configuration to default in options in last tab (RESET).

This site can be opened also in very old IE8.

If you still see only empty page, I am afraid, that you have a bigger problem in your computer,

that we think to this point.

If everything fails, can you try to use another PC and take downloaded update back to your PC?

I have checked the situation again and MS obviously has made a new version of that update again.

I have release date from yesterday (10.7.2015).

I recommend these steps:

1. Check if the update is no hidden, if yes - then unhide it
2. Download KB2952664 manually from Windows Update Catalog at https://catalog.update.microsoft.com

    Just enter KB2952664 in search box.

    Add correct (x86 / x64) version to basket

    Then specify download directory where basket should be downloaded

3. Manually install the downloaded update.

I am unable to see the catalog. I've tried this using IE and Firefox. I just get to a page that has nothing on it. I welcome any ideas on how to proceed.
