It appears that some of the problems are caused by outdated video drivers

As I’ve reported this morning, some of the updates released by Microsoft on Patch Tuesday are causing problems on a number of Windows computers, including those running XP, Vista, 7, and 8.

It turns out that one of the botched updates, namely KB2670838, is incompatible with some video drivers, so Microsoft’s community moderators are now recommending users on the company’s support forums to get the latest drivers for graphic cards.

“A resolution for KB2670838 has been found - you need to ensure that you have up to date video drivers on your system. Are you still seeing issues after getting the latest video card driver on your system?” Susan Bradley has briefly posted in a Microsoft Community thread.

At this point, there’s no official fix on this, so everybody’s still waiting for Microsoft to step in and at least provide some helpful information on how to deal with the issues.
