An improvement that made Windows 10 worse
Users on Reddit went on to vent their frustration regarding this latest patch: As far as the printing issue is concerned, users that had the problem say that it isn’t fixed, while those that were unaffected say that they have it now. Of course, this is nothing compared to the Start Menu error that came along with KB4524147. apparently, they would get a Critical Error message and would not work at all. Microsoft remmends simply logging out and back in again as a solution for this issue, but users are still not pleased. Many users on the Microsoft forums pretty much agree that it is better off to just uninstall KB4524147 altogether, as the headaches that come with it are not worth it. However, the Microsoft community is now conflicted between two difficult choices:
Uninstalling KB4524147 will spare them the printer and Start menu issues Uninstalling KB4524147 will also expose them to outside attackers that can take advantage of a certain security vulnerability discovered recently.
