Windows Defender service will not start
The Windows Defender Service Terminated with the following error

The update history will still list the update as having been installed as it was installed. The key element is whether or not it's listed in the installed updates tab. If it's not listed there, then it's not on your system.
Call 1-800-microsoft or contact the Microsoft answers desk and indicate that you've been impacted by this update and that you need free support to ensure your computer is running properly. If you have any issues getting support, you holler back.
I'm having issues with KB3004394 :(
This is not the first time microsoft has released an update that messes win quite effectively.
First I noticed that my browsers did not connect to a site after I clicked "try again" multiple time.
Then I noticed a big slowdown in hd actions and program startup times.
Graphic bugs etc. etc.
I tried uninstalling KB3004394 with no success, and yes I did download KB3024777 and have run it several times as admin, nothing happens and KB3004394 does not disappear. Also KB3004394 shows on update history tab but not on installed updates tab. Why is this?
Could you (Microsoft) do something about this (corrupted system files and so on...)?
I honestly don't think it's removed KB3004394 as all KB3024777 does is remove 3004394 it doesn't do anything new.
I would look in the installed updates section and see if 3004394 is listed.
well KB3004394 may not have caused any issues for me, but KB3024777 did.
among issues I have found so far which did not exist yesterday, before kb3024777 was installed.
attempting to run chkdsk from an admin command prompt causes this error:
Access Denied as you do not have sufficient privileges.
You have to invoke this utility running in elevated mode.
My SD card slot no longer functions.
these errors is showing up in the eventlog:
A problem has occurred with one or more user-mode drivers and the hosting process has been terminated. This may temporarily interrupt your ability to access the devices.
The device Y:\ (location (unknown)) is offline due to a user-mode driver crash. Windows will attempt to restart the device 5 more times. Please contact the device manufacturer for more information about this problem
EA Origin based games no long open. the launchers sometimes open and the game may get loaded into memory, but the game never opens. end tasking the game also fails.
I must be the only one who hasn't had any issues with this update, since M$ pulled it by issuing KB3024777 which uninstalls KB3004394. it wasn't really nesseccary for windows d/l and install the update uninstaller, but whatever.
