Microsoft Word Performance Issues - KB3114717

A customer contacted me mid-February complaining of significant performance issues with Microsoft Word 2013 SP1 (32bit).  When users copied and pasted text, scrolled up and down a document or changed formatting Microsoft Word continuously hung and entered a not responding state.  In addition users sometimes experienced up a 60 second delay when typing from when characters appeared on the screen.

We did significant troubleshooting on the issue including
  • Disabled Anti-Virus products
  • Full malware scan using multiple AV engines
  • Disabled all non Microsoft services and applications from System Startup
  • Disabled all Microsoft Word Add-ins
  • Disabled graphics acceleration in Microsoft Word
None of these troubleshooting steps resolved the issue.

After talking to Microsoft, it turns out that Microsoft released a bad Windows Update KB3114717.  This update was released on the 9th of February and caused numerous performance issues with Microsoft Office.  After removing this update from all workstations, it resolved the issue.

  5. WOW!! This is the most wonderful thing i have ever experienced. I visited a forum here on the internet on the 17 APRIL 2016, and i saw a marvelous testimony of Tracie Aldana from United States on the forum about the good works DR OSEMU. I never believed it, because have never heard anything about such miracle before. No body would have been able to convince me about it not until DR OSEMU did a marvelous work for me that restored my marriage of 4 years by getting back my divorced wife just as i read on the internet. I was truly shocked when my wife knelt down pleading for forgiveness to accept her back. I am really short of words to use to show my appreciation to DR OSEMU. For his a God sent to me and my entire family for divine restoration of marriage. Here is his email if you need any kind of help. ( Doctorokpamenspelltemple@hotmail.com ), Website: doctorokpamenpowerfulspelltemple.webs.com, call and whats App him on +2348135254384.
