I will try to be short and not too sour. I apologize in advance if I sound like a know-it-all. I'm far from that. I use these community forums and this one has gotten me really frustrated.
First of all, most PCs in my agency updated without error. The one that it failed on that I witnessed already had IE11 patched to or past the level of KB3038314 and so we determined it was safe to simply hide the update and that it was something that MS didn't detect.
In my opinion, Microsoft employees who post here should do so with more authority than a regular user or even IT professional. Look at the history of the update, what it's supposed to fix and things which have/have not worked in the past. Talk to other employees who have beta tested the update or even programmed it.
People who post in these communities have a responsibility to add to the conversation. If your issue is "me too!" "So do I!" or "exactly! etc, this just leaves us with more garbage to go through until a solution is found. In this post there are a good 18 pages of that useless stuff and very few which shed any light on the issue.
I hope that my addition was at least a little useful for someone.
I understand your Point about peoples postings..
But maybe the hope or people, who write Thing like "me too" without adding further Information, ist, that Microsoft might take this cause more serious, the more people have the same problem.
