The QFE and GDR confuse me. The Windows Update says install the GDR on the server (KB2716436). And of course, try a zillion times, read about the frustration everyone else has and GEE, the GDR doesn't work. I did something I generally try to avoid - reading white paper, and of course there it is in black and white - 36 is a GDR and 35 if QFE. My thought was, OK - the GDR has failed a zillion times, can't hurt to try a QFE and WOW - presto, QFE installs.
What's in the GDR and makes it fail where the QFE doesn't? What's wrong with my machine that only the QFE works?
