Update for Windows Security platform - KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2109.27002)

Hello, I have access to 3 x Win 11 PC's all very new, all running Win11 Pro, 2 have Gen 11 high end Gigabyte motherboards and 11500 Intel processors. The 3rd PC is a Gen 10 with a high end Gigabyte Aorus motherboard and an Intel 10400 Intel Processor. NOW, one of the 11 gen pc's installed this update immediately whilst the other Gen 11 installed it after 3 x consultations with Microsoft and myself finally resetting Windows Security. The 3rd PC the Gen 10 unit completely refuses to install this update no matter what I have tried.

On this PC I have just hidden the update using this:

To hide updates on Windows 11, use these steps:

1. Open the Microsoft Download Center page.
2. Click the download link for the Show or hide updates troubleshooter.
3. Double-click the wushowhide. ...
4. Click the Next button.
5. Click the Hide updates option.
6. Select the Windows 11 update to hide from the system.
7. Click the Next button. What I find blantently unprofessional is the lack of a statement from Microsoft, their intentions, a fix. Surely what they should do is to withdraw this update and reissue it when they have a 100% working new KB available. Could the moderators of this site please lean on Microsoft to do so.

Cheers

So, I installed the NET Framework (etc) update which had to be installed separately from this update which you have supplied (and said fixed the problem). Though it has made more problems before installing it (and just hiding the security update). It has made many, if not all, of my icons gone 'freaky'. See photo. Many of the icons on the desktop have black marks on them. It's repeated withing the system folders and as you can see on the start-up bar for control panel. And even the control panel icon itself. Also, when you bring up the control panel, it was nonresponsive. I will be using the system restore to take out the major update (not the NET Framework one). And I just realised for some reason, the restore points I had on my PC are no longer there. So, I am stuck with my icons like this until it gets fixed, or I can uninstall the update.

Hi, thank you for this but it wasn’t the solution for me.

For me the solution was to open the Windows Security App and to “Reset” it, which fixed the problem for good.

Brilliant ! This was an instant fix for me ! “Repair” didn’t work but “Reset” did !

You are a genius sir ! 👏🏼🥂

Many thanks,

Peter

This fixed it for me. Thanks a lot Shakusky!
