[SOLVED] Issues after Office updates

Windows 7 Ultimate (x64)

After latest Office updates, the following issues occur:

• 'Open Devices and Printers' listing on taskbar is empty with devices attached.

• Double-clicking folders in Windows Explorer opens folder in new window. Folder Options set to open folder in same window.

This was a new installation of Win7 so I decided to wipe and reinstall after this issue first occurred. The Office updates ran and the issue recurred. I'm reasonably certain this round of updates is causing these (a maybe other) issues. Anyone else seeing these issues?

I ran system file checker (sfc /scannow) based on a suggestion from another forum. While it didn't return any errors, these issues seem resolved (without a reboot).

Glad that it's working now bbaz I'm not sure how SFC would fix it, but as long as it's working that's the main thing!
