    Microsoft has made changes Ring0 Calls involving malfunction of the third-party antivirus.
    Freezes occurring between each 10 to 30 seconds. The antivirus update needed ...
    Possibly happen with third-party anti-malware tolos.

    interesting, I use spybot search and destroy 1.62, malwarebytes antimalware pro and avast. I wonder if any other those are causing the freezing?

    The possible malfunction of AV is very hardware dependent.

    it happens with Windows Defender as well, when it freezes charms bar doesn't appear any longer and if I want to get to start screen i have to press the win physical button on keyboard. This is annoying, maybe it'll be fixed with other updates in april

    Spring 2014 update was a fairly hefty overhaul.
    It will take a/v companies time to make sure everything is working appropriately.
    I'm sure they will release new versions when the update hits General Avail status

    Win Defender works just fine in the meantime if you want to uninstall the a/v for a while.
    or you could uninstall the update, but that seems like even more of a PITA

    clean install?

    If you have previously had antivirus, remember never uninstalled correctly.

    I installed the updates from the download: Windows8.1.1_RTM_MSU_x64_BAV0
    on a Windows 8.1 VM (en_windows_8_1_x64_dvd_2707217) installation and afterwords only had about 10 updates via WU.

    Both will do. :)

    BTW, I suggest 2nd one, because normally when you update to Update 1, default drivers will be replaced.

    OFF TOPIC, but I hope I help someone and solve his/her problem...

    If Music/VLC app keeps turning down volume at like 20% when you minimize it do this:

    Win+S -> Search for "change audio card settings" -> There, in Communications tab choose:

    When Windows detects communication activities...

    [] Do Nothing



    Restart and done.

    A general rule of thumb I do is to always update the base OS first, then handle drivers, then install programs, then set everything up, and finally, tweak some settings.

    Will Microsoft release new iso image that integrated the Spring updates ?

    Or only can get the updates from Windows Update or self-integrate ?

    Anyone have answer ?
