RTay Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 (edited) Our problem was that you could not log on to Windows (even in safe mode). Just got a black screen with a cursor. I ran this using a Windows 7 OS install disc (Shift+F10 to open Command Prompt): dism /image:X:\ /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_KB3097877~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~6.1.1.1 /scratchdir:X:\temp (Note: No space after 31bf3856ad364e35 and ~amd64) X is directory of Windows. Mine was on D for example. I will need to install the revised KB3097877 later if they have fixed the problem. May need to adjust the code for x86/32 bit machines. I had an issue with the 'temp' folder so just leaving it as X:\ worked ok. Edited November 12, 2015 by RTay
elsiegee40 Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Closed as this is undoubtedly caused by the patch in this thread http://www.edugeek.net/forums/windows/161844-borked-windows-update-kb3097877.html
