Cannot open files from saved searches after installing 2008-08 Cumulative Update Preview KB4571744

Since the 2008-08 Cumulative Update Preview (KB4571744) installed earlier today, I have been unable to open files directly from saved searches in Windows Explorer.

The problem exists with all my saved searches. All the files are shown but when I try to open any of them, I get an error message showing the correct file path (my local hard disk C: drive and relevant subfolders) and the message "The directory name is invalid".

It is not actually invalid because, if I go to the file's actual location using the context menu of the file shown in the saved search, that directory opens up and I can open the file as expected.

This behavior only exhibits if the search is saved. Files found by typing new searches into the search box can be opened as expected from the list of search results. But if I save the search and try again, I get the "invalid directory" error message.

The saved searches in question have worked perfectly for a long time.

I will try uninstalling the KB4571744 update to see whether the problem goes away, and will report back.

+++ UPDATE +++

Uninstalling KB4571744 2008-08 Cumulative Update Preview cured the problem with opening files from saved searches. Seems logical to conclude that the problem was caused by the update.

 

Intel Gives Core i3 and Core i5 Dual-Core Processors K0 Stepping Update

Intel is giving some existing 32 nm "Clarkdale" based Core i3 and Core i5 processors an update. The processors will transition to the new K0 stepping from the existing C2 stepping. The parts that will be made on the K0 silicon are Core i3 models 530 (new sSPEC: SLBX7), 540 (new sSPEC: SLBTD) and Core i5 models 650 (new sSPEC: SLBTJ), 660/661 (SLBTK/SLBTB), 670 (SLBTL). Newer and upcoming models such as the i3-550, i3-560, i5-665K, and i5-680 are already being built on the K0 stepping die. Motherboards will require a BIOS update to support the new K0 stepping processors.

The K0 stepping change includes the following highlights:

• New S-spec and MM numbers for the converting products
• Extended CPUID will change from 0x00020652 to 0x00020655
• Host RevID will change from 0x12 to 0x18
• K0 stepping package is pin compatible with C2 stepping package
• Adds Processor Context ID (PCID) support

The revised older SKUs that are built on K0 stepping will be market-available by October 16.
