Random errors on Windows operating system are not something new and now a strange error in has cropped up. This error fires up the CMD and is affecting quite a lot of users. The issue is limited to Windows 7 only.
This is what the error message says:
KB3172605 and/or KB3161608 are installed in your system. Please uninstall KB3172605 and/or KB3161608 before installing this driver.
