Selection Tool process is slow, unbearably slow

WAY overkill.

In the post above I give (2) links to emergency updates that are supposed to fix the issues caused by earlier updates.

Or you can just wait and Microsoft will bundle them up in the next monthly update rollup.

But eventually Microsoft will fix what they’ve broken. But Windows Update cannot put specific immediate “fixes” in your queue, if your machine doesn’t have the problem updates that need patching. So, you’d need to rely upon the monthly cumulative or rollup updates.
