How to uninstall update 2823324?

[webster72n]

There probably is no need for me to do it in WinVista, but how in the
world can that be accomplished?
There is no opening with either the left- or the right-click.

Harry,

This is a good question. If you ask the same question in Google you
might see an article at HowToGeek website that gives you an answer.

Why didn't I think of that???

You'd think they could have made it more
convoluted, added an extra panel or two... /sarcasm

Be careful - someone at Microsoft might see that and decide to do it,
even with the tag you added...

I followed the above procedure i.e. Microsoft's. My machine is sitting
in a loop with a screen telling me it is reconfiguring and DO NOT SWITCH
OFF. How long can I let this go on????

It's always handy to have a Windows PE bootable USB stick. Hiren's Boot
CD is one, but you can find a variety at reboot.pro

When Windows is acting up, it's much easier to repair when the system is
dismounted.

Even the Windows installation DVD is useful (it's bootable), has a repair
utility that sometimes works. I highly recommend building your own PE
boot DVD's or USB sticks with custom utilities. If you don't have the
skills or patience, use Hiren's Boot CD or others.

http://reboot.pro/files/ *Awesome resource, my favorite but requires
building your own disk based on the scripts provided for Winbuilder. You
can customize your build by adding whatever utilities you want too.

How long has it been going on?

I left it and went away having watched it on and off for almost an hour!
2 hours later the machine had closed down. I don't know when it happened.
Good news is that win 7 rebooted successfully and 2823324 has gone.
Lucky escape or what??

I suspect some irregularities with updating entries in the registry.

Surely appreciate the feedback, thank you all.
Yours is especially helpful, G. Morgan.
The trouble is, I don't operate that far in advance.
Maybe I should.
For the time being I am going to let this update "ride"
and will worry about it later, if necessary.
Thanks again,

Harry.

If you check the threads on the web, discussing 2823324, removal does
cause the indefinite "reconfiguring" thing. But most of the users
were impatient, and hit the power button, and somehow, they
booted normally on the next attempt. Hitting the power button,
is surely a recipe for disaster. We have no way of knowing, for
a given "configuration" activity, whether the OS will survive
or not. Maybe it was just doing a CHKDSK or something. After all,
the patch is supposed to change ntfs.sys, not change every
file on the computer. The affected set of files should be small.

Same thing happened to me (W7 HP x64 SP1). I gave up after more than an
half hour of waiting. Computer rebooted, I saw something about registry,
rebooted again, then there was something about installing updates at
100% and after that all seemed well. I checked and KB2823324 was
uninstalled. Weird...

I waited and waited. There was no hdd activity, so I hit the reset
button (same thing as power button) and all seems well, so... I'm not
going to loose any sleep over it. In any case, I made an image /before/
Patch Tuesday, so I can always go back. I'm probably going to restore
the image this WE. I've got nothing to do anyway.

Looks like it might be focused on Brazilian customers. There's
something on there called System Center ? So maybe these
would be people who were running G-Buster (G-Buster Browser Defense Unibanco) ?

Hi Paul,
From what I know it does appear (and has from the first report) to be mostly geographic based.
From the other angle there are reports of problems in other geographic locations

Whatever the long run shakes out to be for MSFT to release an iso file that allows booting Windows to remove the problem update is
relatively unusual...and imo possibly other under-the-hood issues that may or may not ever be revealed thus removing the update at
this time just makes good sense.
