Update: SCOM: October 2016 patch makes your Console crash

Awesome Microsoft, way to go with QA when you make your own core products crash…

It seems that the bundled October patch for Windows Server 2008x and 2012x makes the SCOM Console crash when viewing different state views.
The patches mentioned:

Server 2008 – https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3192391
Server 2012 – https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/kb/3192392

After uninstalling theese in my environment, the Console started working again.

This has now been officially aknowlegded, and MS is working on a solution:
