New Compatibility & Reliability Update

[Guest Carlos]

There's a new release of the compatibility and reliability update.

http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941649/en-us

This update improves the compatibility, reliability, and stability of

Windows Vista. This update includes the following improvements:• It extends

the battery life for mobile devices.

• It improves the stability of portable computers and of desktop computers

that use an uninterruptable power supply (UPS).

• It improves the reliability of Windows Vista when you open the menu of a

startup application.

• It improves the stability of wireless network services.

• It shortens the startup time of Windows Vista by using a better timing

structure.

• It shortens the recovery time after Windows Vista experiences a period of

inactivity.

• It shortens the recovery time when you try to exit the Photos screen saver.

• It improves the stability of Windows PowerShell.

This update also resolves the following issues in Windows Vista:• A

compatibility issue that affects some third-party antivirus software

applications.

• A reliability issue that occurs when a Windows Vista-based computer uses

certain network driver configurations

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=06011901-DF0C-4474-8C2C-72C09B7CEC04&displaylang=en

It has the same KB number that the one released a couple of weeks ago but

this one is newer.

My Vista seems to boot faster after this update.

Thanks,....I d/led the same kb fix a couple weeks back,but this one

installed & does indeed make system boot faster on my machine. I wonder why

they updated a previous version of the same kb fix? This getting very

confusing to the average ........"Joe". These updates should come thru

windows update as optional.....that way a person would not miss one if they

are having problems or just updating their system to make it run

better.......Microsoft seems to be making things harder.........making

consumers jump through loops to get fixes...........? very strange......like

one department(at Microsoft) does not know what the other has done.....

Hugh:

The KB contains the reply to your "I wonder why..."

"This package has been updated to version 2. An issue was identified in

which certain computers that have specific combinations of older AHCI USB

chipsets and CD or DVD drives that use the SerialATA interconnection bus may

not start after the installation of the original version of this package.

Version 2 of this package has removed the fix that caused this problem. If

you are using a computer that experienced this issue, you can restart the

computer by using a bootable Windows Vista DVD and by selecting the

Repair/System Recovery options. If your computer has already installed the

original version of this update and has successfully restarted, you do not

have to install version 2 of this update."

Re: New Compatibility & Reliability Update

 

Why aren't all hotfixes like this released via Windows Update?

RE: New Compatibility & Reliability Update

 

I am still losing my network connection when I install some updates.

Unfortunately this is one of them and I would like to install it. Is there

something I can do to correct this problem? I know this was discussed

previously but I did not see a fix. Thanks

Re: New Compatibility & Reliability Update

 

Most hotfixes only are designed to fix a very small problem affecting a

tiny number of users. Pretty much most of the MS hotfixes are available

online from 3rd party sites anyway, so it's really no big deal.
