Don’t automatically install updates unless you need them. If you think it is an update glitch, then roll back to an earlier date.
Well, yeah, but a lot of those updates were security-oriented. I don't care about Google that much; in fact, this experience has prompted me to use Dogpile more.
Other than this one thing, Win 7 is working fine for me. It'll probably get worked out. I note that there are two more Win 7 updates waiting to be downloaded...
