Windows update KB3004394  causes the following issues on my Windows 7 x64 Ultimate system:

All MMC functions (Event Viewer, etc.) now require Administrator action, although in an Administrator account.

Windows Defender service will not start

The Windows Defender Service Terminated with the following error

%%-2147023113

Removing it  returns the system to normal.

Anyone else experience this?

    This update broke the Zune software on a windows 7 system, where it would report an instillation error. Running KB3004394 which I found in windows update, fixed the issue.

    Hi All,

    We have released KB3024777 to address issues that some customers were having with KB3004394. Customers who have Windows Updates enabled do not need to take any action. Customers who have disabled automatic updates will need to uninstall KB3004394 manually by following the guidance in KB3004394.

    Thank you.

    I had previously uninstalled KB3004394.

    Do I still need KB3024777?

    I assumed the certificate update is still needed, but KB3024777 doesn't appear in my Windows Update.

    Will this come down in a future update for the rest of us.

    OR

    Is it in KB3024777, and I need to manually download and install from the link provided.

    Thanks Much,
