KB4034658 on 1607 slows Paratext window switching

Question

We are seeing an issue very similar to what has been reported on Creator Update (1703) with delays of 1 to 3 seconds moving between Paratext windows. But we are now seeing this issue (or something virtually identical) on Anniversary Update (1607) immediately following installation of update KB4034658 . There are other issues with this update as well (breaks display of update history and causes issues for WSUS) which are described here

We have found that uninstalling the update reverses the issue with Paratext. I have not seen any change in what Windows shows installed for dot net framework before vs after the update, but I’m in the middle of rolling this back on all our clients, so I have not had time to look into that much.

Answer 1

Yes, I noticed this 2-3 days ago and rolled it back. But yesterday it installed itself again automatically, so I had to roll it back once more. I thought it would not come back so quickly.

We have WSUS here so I declined it centrally.

If you want to prevent it from coming back (at least quickly), you could use Microsoft’s Show or Hide Updates utility (http://download.microsoft.com/download/f/2/2/f22d5fdb-59cd-4275-8c95-1be17bf70b21/wushowhide.diagcab) to hide it. After I uninstalled KB4034658, I also noticed that Windows Update wanted to reinstall .NET 4.7. That update may also be hidden using the Show or Hide Updates utility.

Unfortunately this doesn’t work on my computer: while the utility lists a number of updates, no Windows updates are in the list. (The only Microsoft update in the list is a Silverlight update.) And KB4034658 keeps reinstalling itself. Shifting between PT windows takes about 10 seconds (i5 processor, PT installed on an SSD).

Thanks for this information, which helped me resolve YASI (yet another slowdown issue!) here in Chad.

Update: I tried the Show/Hide utility once more, immediately after uninstalling KB4034658 and doing the required restart, and this time the update did show up in the list. Thanks for the tip!

The Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) solves all these issues. If you want to get it now, go to https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10, click the Update now button and run the Windows10Upgrade9252.exe file that it downloads.
