The tech giant rolled out two new updates to Windows 7 users: KB4499175 and KB4499164, respectively. Security update KB4499164 fixed some of the issues introduced by KB4493453 last month. On the other hand, KB4499175 includes some quality enhancements for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 users.  Microsoft has a bad history when it comes to new updates. A better approach is to back up your system before installing the latest updates on your PC — just in case something goes wrong.
