Some added info as many are having BSOD's with this update!
August 15, 2014 InfoWorld
Seems like business as usual in the Microsoft Black Tuesday support arena. Windows customers -- not Microsoft -- havehttp://www.infoworld.com/sites/infoworld.com/files/media/image/windows_broken_hp.jpg found a solution to the Blue Screen of Death/Stop 0x50 error I talked about yesterday. Microsoft, as usual, has been totally AWOL.
The bad patch went down the Automatic Update chute on Black Tuesday, and the first report of a BSOD appeared on the Microsoft Answers forum on Wednesday. The report correctly identified one of the botched patches as KB 2982791. It isn't clear how many people are affected, but reports are springing up all over the Web. As of 1:30 a.m. Friday, Redmond time, it doesn't look like Microsoft has done a darn thing.
According to forum moderator and Microsoft MVP Susan Bradley (who, like all MVPs, is a volunteer) the problem has shown up on 64-bit Windows 7 systems and possibly 64-bit Windows Server 2008 R2 systems ("possibly" because there aren't enough reports as yet to corroborate). The first bad patch, KB 2982791, is part of the "important" MS14-045 security bulletin. The second bad patch, KB 2970228, is a nonsecurity patch, part of the "Update 2" debacle, that adds the ruble glyph to the list of valid currency symbols in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 Update.

Users find fix for botched KB 2982791 and KB 2970228 Windows update
Microsoft has yet to pull the bad patch, respond to support cases, offer an explanation -- or even acknowledge the BSOD Stop 0x050 problem.
