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?

    You really need to uninstall this from a Windows 7 machine.

    I think it's more OEMs that are impacted.

    Branded or generic?

    Microsoft has stated that it needs to be removed.

    Where? I quoted the three scenarios from the KB article:

    1. If you have not yet deployed KB 3004394 on Windows 7 SP1-based and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computers, we recommend that you delay installation until a new version of this update becomes available.
    2. If you have already installed KB 3004394 on Windows 7 SP1-based and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1-based computers that were not restarted after the update was installed, we recommend that you delay the restart ... until more information is added to this article ...
    3. If the installation of KB 3004394 is causing problems on these computers, remove the update, ...

    It doesn't say that if you have already installed the update and restarted and it's not causing problems that it should be removed. Because this bunch of updates included a CSU for IE, I rebooted twice after installing all ten Windows updates successfully. Four subsequent updates (definitions for MSE) have been successfully installed since then. Can you explain why I shouldn't just accept this situation and wait for the new version to be released?

    Anyone have cmd.exe error 0xc0000142 during shutdownafter the update on 13 Dec?

    I have this problem and found that many others having the same problems too.

    I think it is related to the window updates again!!!!!!!!!

    What the fxxx is Window Update?

    C&P from another threadwhere i posted the same:

    I'm having the same issue and searching for it on internet, i found that maybe it has something with the GeForce Experience client, program which i use too, and the recent updates  KB3004394 and KB3024777

    https://forums.geforce.com/default/topic/796076/geforce-experience/geforce-experience-causing-command-exe-error-on-restart-of-windows-7/

    Uninstalling it or forcing to exit the client just before shutting down the OS, seems to solve the problem and no error message is showed.

    Greetings
