Its especially unfortunate since KB4474419, the sha2 update for Windows Seven, defacto disabled updates for quite a few people with dualboot or encrypted system partitions in mid March.



>encrypted system partitions

Does this include bitlocker? Or is this an issue with third party boot loaders so bitlocker is fine but truecrypt is not?


Disables updates? How?


The update fails and gets automatically reverted. I dont think you can get the monthly security updates without it, at least that was the case with the April rollout. Since its not immediately clear why the update fails, you can even now find quite a few people looking for help to diagnose the error online.

edit:

Here some context

its an easy fix for for dualboot if you can just replace grub with mbr again, but people with disc encryption are rather screwed it seems.
