About to do a cumaltive Win7Pro64 update on my DAW. Any current problems?

I do my Win updates manually because I don't want bad patches getting through to my DAW. I have not updated for quite some time and have not been experiencing any problems with X3c (which I am going to patch as well). I'm just checking in to see if anyone has any problems to report on any recent patches or anything I should watch out for. I usually leave off optional updates but maybe there are some I should be adding as well.
 
System Specs:
 
Intel i7 2600k
ASUS P8Z68-V Pro/Gen3
16gb Corsair Vengeance
Win 7 Pro 64
Focusrite Scarlett 18i6
 
Thanks.

    I always do a system restore before making any system-oriented changes or patches. I've rarely needed to restore, but better safe than sorry.
     
    I also do system restore points before testing programs like free software so I can uninstall and get my system back to where it was.
     
    Regardless, for what it's worth I'm running the latest Win 7 64 and Sonar patches, and all is well. Very well, actually.

    The first 3 books in "The Musician's Guide to Home Recording" series are available from Hal Leonard and http://www.reverb.com. Listen to my music on http://www.YouTube.com/thecraiganderton, and visit http://www.craiganderton.com. Thanks!

    Thanks, Craig. Yup. Will be creating a restore point but Windows automatically creates those anyway before installing updates (still I prefer having my own instead of relying on the auto recovery points).
     
    I figure all is well because usually when a bad patch comes out there is a shizstorm of threads on the intertubes on the matter but just wanted to double check. I've been burned by auto updates on my lappy before.
     
    Which reminds me I'd better double check the Firefox install on the DAW to make sure it's not gonna auto update to the newest version which has been causing me problems on my laptop. Urgh.
