Microsoft has removed a faulty servicing stack update, which was causing issues for Windows users when they tried to install last week's Patch Tuesday security updates.

Microsoft said that the erroneous servicing-stack update froze installations for the "Cumulative Update" from the recent Windows Update.

Windows users - who reported issues - must install this new servicing stack update before installing the its recent February Patch Tuesday security update from last week.

Users should then be able to install the latest Cumulative Update from Windows Update.

For Windows users who haven't applied the previous update, the new update "Is available through Windows Update," said Microsoft.

To get the stand-alone package for the update, users can also go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website said Microsoft.
