Big Microsoft Updates Today
I read somewhere that Microsoft is issueing some wide-ranging updates to just about every current and just-past-current OS's today. Anyone seen any of these yet (I haven't) and have there been any problems ?

No, not a keyboard problem
See Pwn2Own - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
the patches usually start rolling out in volume on the evening of the second Tuesday of each month, Seattle time. So you'll probably note them from tomorrow onwards. Not everyone gets them at the same time - the "push" is phased to balance server loads

OFSO - So .. what you're saying is that we'll get another 10 updates that include another 25 bugs that require another 30 updates to fix??
I already have updates (for W7) that constantly fail to install. Chasing down the error message fixes, I find that there's a "System Update Readiness Tool" that fixes Windows Update errors in Windows 8, Windows 7, Windows Vista, etc, etc.
I download the System Update Readiness Tool, and it fixes nothing. Obviously there's a bug in the System Update Readiness Tool, and there'll be a patch along shortly to fix that bug ...

Milo - The update that refuses to install appears to be KB2729094. Every time I shut down the computer it says it is loading 1 update, and it appears to load, then shutdown - but upon the next shutdown, I still get the "1 update being installed" message.
I've gone through the update history and KB2729094 appears to be the culprit that is regularly failing to install - despite my having successfully loaded the System Update Readiness Tool.
I just noticed there's the 9 new "urgent" updates waiting for me.

I've downloaded all the new updates, and I get the message that one update failed, which is what happens every time I download updates.
The error code is 8024200D. Searching the MS knowledge base tells me I have to download System Update Readiness Tool to fix error 8024200D .....

I believe OFSO is referring to what is expected to be a larger 'Tuesday' than normal?
Indeed I was, and mixture, I wasn't asleep on all previous "Tuesday Patch It" days, but I heard this one was due to be a bigger than usual, f*ck-up-a-perfectly-good-working-system day. So far it hasn't happened, just one update for Defender.
And before anyone jumps at me, no I don't allow system updates and patches to be installed automatically, but look at them carefully first and see whether I think I need tham. Then, and only then, do I allow them to be installed. (Always !)

Here's the list of updates that MS offered today (10th April 2013). I downloaded them all successfully. I also manually downloaded the KB2729094 update - thanks Milo.
7 Updates were deemed "Important" by MS - 2 were "Recommended" - and 5 were "Optional".
I saw no harm in downloading the optional ones, and I believe my computer is performing a fraction better - but that's just a feeling, not a measured result.
I'm running Chrome as a browser, but I downloaded the Explorer updates in case I revert to it, as I do once in a blue moon.
1. Definition Update for Windows Defender - KB915597 (Definition 1.147.1392.0) - (Important)
2. Platform Update for Windows 7 (KB2670838) - (Optional)
3. Windows Malicious Software Removal Tool - April 2013 (KB890830) - (Important)
4. Update for Windows 7 (KB2574819) - (Optional)
5. Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2823324) - (Important)
6. Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer 8 for Windows 7 (KB2817183) - (Important)
7. Windows Internet Explorer 9 for Windows 7 - (Optional)
8. Update for Windows 7 (KB2729094) - (Update that regularly failed to load)
9. Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2813347) - (Important)
10. Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2813170) - (Important)
11. Update for Windows 7 (KB2799926) - (Recommended)
12. Update for Windows 7 (KB2709981) - (Optional)
13. Security Update for Windows 7 (KB2808735) - (Important)
14. Update for Windows 7 (KB2592687) - (Optional)
There are two more new updates that have just arrived and are waiting to be downloaded, as of right now. That will make 15 updates offered today.

I just got the same batch, and the apparently inevitable
It seems to be an update for IE9. Since I never use IE, the easiest solution may be to remove it altogether. In fact, I suspect I already did. Maybe that's why the update won't work...

Linux to the left of me, XP in the middle, 7 to the right, and Andy in my pocket tablet......that's my office.
I can see why the update didn't bother the main machine. Not much there for XP to chew on. I'm now about to activate Mr 7 on the right, and see....no, other than new AVG definitions, there's nothing there.
My friend in the sauna told me this morning he received updates to Firefox this morning.
