Updates Microsoft upates released on 6/14/2011 are giving me issues on Windows 7 x64 machines. After rebooting, the Windows logo appears then the screen goes black and just sits there. Figured out it was KB2525694 that is the trouble maker. Anyone have any idea why? For now I hid this update to prevent it from installing.

Hi, What’s the result to restore the system to the point that the issue not occurred? First, boot the computer in safe mode and from Device Manager, expand Display adapters, right-click on your adapter and choose Properties, select the Driver tab and (if possible) click Roll Back Driver. If Roll Back Driver is not selectable, it means no driver is available for roll back. Please visit your video card manufacturer’s website to download the latest available driver for your video card to see if it will correct the problem. You may also narrow down the causes in Device Clean Boot. Device Clean Boot ================= 1. Click Start, type "devmgmt.msc" (without quotation marks) in the Search bar and press Enter. 2. Expand "Sound, video and game controllers". 3. Right click on your sound card and then click "Properties. 4. In the dropdown menu of Device Usage, please choose "Do not use this device (disable)" and click OK. 5. Please use the same method to disable other dubious hardware such as: internal modem, network card and CD-R drive. Please note some devices such as video adapter are not available to be disabled. If the above steps does not solve the issue, please test this issue in Clean Boot to determine the possible cause. Regards, Sabrina TechNet Subscriber Support in forum.

Unfortunately at the time I wasn't able to even boot into safe mode, however I was able to track the problem to to a dying ssd. Thanks for the response. Chris K
