MS Update 3033929 Causing Reboot Loop

Summary: Microsoft's KB3033929 update, a code signing patch released on Tuesday of that week, is causing a reboot loop for a number of Windows 7 users, according to postings on multiple help forums. The update does not appear to address a pressing security vulnerability, and none of the tech help forums had a solution at the time of the report.
Why it matters: A patch that improves validation of program integrity and authenticity is now taking Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 systems down in a reboot loop, and no fix was available when the story ran.
