Meanwhile, on Windows 7...
... KB4056894 is causing BSODs (blue and black) on restart after installation. That's on W7Pro-64bit, with Microsoft Security Essentials installed. Okay, so not a stellar setup, but you'd think it would have the least hassle since it's all MS. It even gives different error codes in each crash (80242016, 800F0816, etc.) and a slightly different fix each time as well.
KB4056894 is now blocked and hidden, because I've got better things to do than nurse borked laptops back to life each time it gets a toe-hold in.
Will wait to see if the AV trick registry key works, but not yet.
