It appears users are still getting problems from the latest Windows 10 patch Tuesday updates, and security update KB4524244, and KB4532693.

The security update has a temporary fix...
to add those Kaspersky keys to the UEFI Revocation List File, which is jointly managed by Microsoft and the UEFI Forum. This file in turn updates the Secure Boot Forbidden Signature Database, dbx. Apparently, that update caused havoc with the HP utility referenced in this post. If you installed the two updates described in this post and didn't encounter any issues, you've successfully blocked those Kaspersky UEFI keys from being misused. If you did encounter issues, you should uninstall the update and await a revised version.

KB4532693 is where user profiles become hidden. For the moment, users can simply remove KB4532693 and all will be fine.

The question needs to be asked...

"Why the hell can't Microsoft get these things right first time around"

For my mind, if they spent more time fixing up basic nuts and bolts issues rather than all the flim flam over "features" which the vast majority of users would never use, let alone want real improvements might then be made.

Why do we live in a world of unhinged Rudy Park's?

I agree, it's become a weak point, and kind of defeats the point of reducing the number of different levels of OS.

The executives of the company need to get a grip or MS will lose its "respected" position.
