A new update for Windows 7 and Server 2008 R2 is currently available for download. It will fix a number of stability and reliability issues. According to the Microsoft release it will fix these specific issues:

– Windows Explorer crashes and then restarts when you access a third-party Control Panel item.
– You cannot connect to an instance of SQL Server Analysis Services from an application in Windows 7 or in Windows Server 2008
R2 after you install Office Live Add-in 1.4 or Windows Live ID Sign-in Assistant 6.5.
– Windows Explorer may stop responding for 30 seconds when a file or a directory is created or renamed after certain applications
are installed.
– The Welcome screen may be displayed for 30 seconds when you try to log on to a computer if you set the desktop background to
a solid color.
– You are not warned when you delete more than 1000 files at the same time. Then, the files are deleted permanently and are not
moved to the Recycle Bin.

The update can be downloaded in Windows Update or manually from the Microsoft site linked above. If you choose the manual download route it requires you to know whether you are running the 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows. Happy updating!
