I was amd only since my amd oced No further comment D4S4 omfg here we go again Yet it seems surprising to you that the 2 part patch is now here This news is to new for google.

Any more feedback? The more you tell us the more we can help. Can you help us improve? Resolved my issue. Clear instructions. Easy to follow. No jargon. Pictures helped. Didn't match my screen.

I'm picturing a call from MS at 7pm Sunnyvale deserted except for a janitor who picks up the phone; "they all gone home There was nothing that stunned or even surprised me about that. And it did not come up when I ran a check for updates.
