Microsoft Releases June 2016 Update Rollup Pack For Windows 7 And Windows Server 2008

Microsoft released a handful of updates for Windows 7 SP 1 Windows Server 2008 R2 this weekend as part of the June 2016 update rollup. The June 2016 update rollup for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 brought a lot of improvements to both systems, but didn’t introduce any new features.

Here’s what Microsoft fixed in the June 2016 update rollup:

KB3154228 32-bit icons can’t be loaded in OleLoadPictureEx in Windows
KB3153727 Windows Installer with certain actions can’t be installed on Windows Server 2012 R2 or Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
KB3161647 Windows Update Client for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2: June 2016
KB3161897 WDS deployment fails when UEFI clients are in routed environments in Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
KB3161639 Update to add new cipher suites to Internet Explorer and Microsoft Edge in Windows
KB3163644 Microsoft Office 2010 doesn’t start when EMET is enabled in Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2

Despite the fact that users are slowly starting to abandon Windows 7, it is still a widely-used operating system and Microsoft is forced to support it for some more time. When we talked about the so-called Service Pack 2 for Windows 7 back in May, we mentioned that Microsoft planned to release update packs for Windows 7 every month to keep all its users on the same page.

Since then, June saw its first update rollup pack for Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008. With Microsoft wanting users to move to Windows 10, we’re almost sure it won’t release any new features for Windows 7 outside of various bug fixes and system improvements.

If, by chance, you haven’t receive this update pack yet, check for updates and Windows 7/Windows Server 2008 should automatically download it.
