I’ve read about others who encountered a similar issue as you have described:ĭid you try completely uninstalling MSE and then downloading/installing a fresh copy of MSE? I’m using my aging Dell Vista right now – fortunately I had no problems with that MSE upgrade! However, I am disabling/terminating the Malware Bytes software before I do the Windows update, thinking it was causing a conflict, but the problem still occurs.Īny suggestions? I have not seen anyone else post anything similar. I am running Malware Bytes Anti Malware in conjunction with MSE. I had to do the large standalone (not via the WSUS) download of the MSE engine and the complete virus signature file from the ms site to get current (it was over 128 meg). I have done scans with various software to look for viruses and rootkits. I have done a SFC /Scannow The integrity of the systems files checks out. To invoke the windows task manager so I can do a reboot into safe boot to do a system restore to go back to the checkpoint taken before this MSE Update. After several minutes, the screen goes black. I get a please wait message followed by a "Preparing your Desktop" message. The PC will reboot and I can supply the password for my login and get logged in. This package will update Microsoft Security Essentials client on the user's machine.Īfter installation of the above Microsoft Security Essentials Update which is being provided in the February and March 2016 Windows Update, my desktop is essentially corrupted/lost.
