generally hotfixes arent in windows update. theyre there for you to download "incase" you are affected. this one just compiles a bunch of them together. Unlikely youll have anything but a few of them

What about that update that brought dx11.1? Is it still causing performance issues for 3dmark?

That was a beta for the platform update which came with IE 10. No issues with the final version.

At least, here, it did nothing wrong. Everything is working just fine.
Maybe a little bit snappier i think.

OK. Just wanted to make sure. Where is that final version located?

Just check in Windows Update, chances are that you already have it installed.

Installed it, no issues, with Windows 7 Ultimate 64bit.

I don't know how many of the these fixes we'll actually benefit from though.
