As reported by Woody Leonhard on his site, April patches are up, and major problems are already occurring as there is a conflict between Win7/8.1 patches and Carrizo DDR4 machines.

As usual the best thing to do is WAIT before installing anything.

Woody Leonhard has changed his rating to MS DEFCON 3:

This means it's time to apply the April patches. He supplied instructions on how to do that here:
www.infoworld.com/article/3192194/microsoft-windows/yes-windows-patches-are-a-mess-but-you-should-still-install-them.html

I installed KB4014981 (.NET) and KB4015549 (Windows 7) on my system and after rebooting everything seems to be fine.
