Today is Patch Tuesday, so if you are using Windows auto-update (like me) you will be getting the replacement patch for the flawed patch of two weeks ago.
Note that Windows Update and Automatic Updates do not remove the old version so you should see if it is installed on your PC and remove it if it is.
The following is from Microsoft. (Must have been written by an engineer because the grammar is really bad):
"Microsoft strongly recommends that customers who have not uninstalled the 2982791 update [i.e., the old version, released on Patch Tuesday] do so prior to applying the 2993651 update [the new version]." This recommendation applies to users whether they are having problems with the old update or not. The update addresses three Windows kernel bugs, two of which could result in privilege elevation and the third in exposure of sensitive kernel information.
First, to check if the update was installed on your PC. Go to "Control Panel", "Programs", "Programs and Features", and click on "View Installed Updates".
Sort by "Installed Date" because KB2982791 will be one of the most recent updates. Or you can search for "KB2982791". Select it and click on "Uninstall" and you're done. (You will need to reboot after removing the patch).
