Resolution:
If you are able to login, you can uninstall Comodo and re-install latest fixed Comodo version. Else you need to go to Windows Safe Mode and uninstall Comodo product or re-store system to state before Comodo product was installed.

That's a huge issue.

Very good of Comodo to inform people of potential problems Regarding Microsoft making their OS incompatible with their product.
to often these problems are found out after they occur
and everyone denying responability untill fix's are available

It's not a problem with Windows, it's a problem with THEIR OWN software which just goes haywire if you do install this update. Comodo has continuously had such dumb problems through years. One of only few developers. I have no clue what the hell they are doing.

You Say

It's not a problem with Windows, it's a problem with THEIR OWN software

which they do Accept hense the Advisory to not install the update untill users update their ( Comodo) Software

But Other would not agree with your view

Such as
kaspersky internet security and their current Lawsuit over Defender and other 3rd Party A/V programs incompatibility after M/S Updates

its not up to M$ to check with every software developer before rolling out an update(IMO), its just not realistic.

MBAM had an issue like this that i worked closely with them on resolving on my end, & it happened more than once.. although I have to admit that it can't be easy to plan for something you have no way of knowing so it's a tricky situation for both the program developers it as well as Microsoft , which is why each is responsible for their own work. A working relationship is key between companies for seemless rollouts

However, unless MS provides advance warning and coding to software makers, which at the very least should include AV/AM vendors, then it is impossible for them to make themselves compatible with the latest updates. This is part of the reason that updates come out 30 or more days after a deficiency was found. Apparently MS forgot to tell Comodo, or as @dorsetknob mentioned above, they just decided to tell everyone to eff off on this update.

It's just Comodo which repeatedly has these dumb problems.

 

[pigulici]

So I must re-install last Comodo, because update to last version it is too "tech" for comodo?

Don't run the update on the OS that doesn't allow you to stop updates. Got it.

Don't know about that....

Luckily I'm on Windows 8.1, I do have Comodo Firewall but it seems not to be an issue on my OS.
