More Information

Known issues with this security update

• Symptoms
  After you install this security update on a computer that is running Windows 7 SP1 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, you may receive a D1 or 100000D1 stop error message that resembles the following:

  Note

  *** STOP: 0x000000D1(parameter1, parameter2, parameter3, parameter4)
  DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

  Cause
  The installation of security update 2862330 should update all the drivers for the USB 2.0 core stack. However, in some specific computer configurations, the Usbport.sys driver is not updated. After the USB 2.0 core stack is in a partly updated state, a D1 or 100000D1 Stop error may occur.

  The stop error is observed in any of the following situations:

  • When the computer is transitioning to or from a lower power state (Sleep or Hibernation)
  • When a USB port resumes from "selective suspend" mode
  • During the installation of the update itself

  Resolution

  To resolve this issue, use System Restore to return your system files and settings to an earlier point in time before security update 2862330 was installed. This removes security update 2862330 and brings the computer to a stable state without affecting personal files. After you complete System Restore, you should try to install security update 2862330 again.

  If you continue to receive a D1 or 100000D1 Stop error message, this indicates that the computer was not restored to a stable state. Try running System Restore again, and select an earlier restore point. After you complete System Restore, you should try to install security update 2862330 again.

• After you install security update 2862330 on a computer that is running Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2, your computer may restart two times. The additional restart is required to make sure that the security update is completely installed. Installation of this update may leave the system in a partly updated and therefore vulnerable state. To address this issue, the update performs an additional step to update the computer. This additional step may require an additional restart of the computer.

  Note Task sequence could fail in System Center Configuration Manager if the task sequence uses an "Install Software Updates" step to install a software updates that require multiple restarts.

• Installing this security update does not update Usbccgp.sys if you do not have a device present that requires this driver. Therefore, Usbccgp.sys typically will not be updated in %windir%\system32\Drivers\ on virtual machine guest operating systems. However, the drivers are staged in the driver store. If a device is attached that requires these drivers, the drivers will be updated at that time.
