Is this MS update necessary/critical?

MS Net  Framework 4 Client Profile for Win 7 x 64 bit system

KB982670

 

The last time I updated a Framework  4 Client proile the computer crashed and I had to set it 

to restore. after about 2 hours of messing about.

 

Now the latest Updates want me to install the above, and I can't finn out whether

it's necessary -  have had a good look on the internet and Windows site but

can't get what I need to know - which is can I leave it alone?. 

I really don't want to risk crashing again. 

 

running Win7 x 64bit.

Don't listen to that **bleep**wit telling you not to update.  Keep your system up to date at all times. 

 

Further, if a piece of software stops working because you "updated", that's a good thing.

 

Idiots who think they know better than the people who create the operating system they are using should be ignored. 


Hi benson,  no it wasn't a piece of software, but the whole computer crashed.  It only booted up to a 

black screen with some instructions then it took me ages to get past it.  When I was eventually able to get into Sys Restore

that fixed it but then I donwloaded that programme from windows the same one I think rogespeed mentions, fixit,

and ran that and after a long time all seemed well and still does.  

 

I do always download the Win Updates though , in fact all updates. 

thanks for all your help everyone.
