Yesterday, my laptop automatically downloaded updates from microsoft.com. I reviewed the updates and installed them all. Nothing unusual there.<\/p>\n
But now I have a problem which, prior to that installation, I had never experienced. If I try to open or save any file in any Office application, the file directory window pops-up as normal, but if I click on any folder in that window, the application locks up and I get an “application not responding” error.<\/p>\n
I use Office applications about, oooh, 50 times a day. So this is a serious<\/em> problem. Suggestions? (If anyone says “buy a Mac”, I’ll tear them limb from limb). I’ve reported the error to Microsoft and also requested email support.<\/p>\n EDIT: I’ve performed a system restore back to the restore point created when I booted up yesterday morning, and all now seems to be working correctly. When Windows Update offers up the updates again, I’m going to decline them, I think.<\/p>\n FURTHER EDIT: updates installed, problem solved. Thanks to Mr LMG (see comments).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Yesterday, my laptop automatically downloaded updates from microsoft.com.
