Can we assume that this means "yes" the Jan 3 fix was also for Win 7x64?  
Yes but they didn't roll it out until a few days later.  Just run Windows update and you will be up to date.

Thanks EJ . . . . . Done, but just wanted to make sure that I got it for Win 7 :) Like you, I cannot notice any difference at all.

I may have finally received the update for this issue for Win 8.1 yesterday. It took an abnormally long time to install, restart, and my system to idle without a high amount of memory and disk space (70-100% disk) being used. After that it has worked fine. The one update I think may be the one is KB4056895, as MS support mentions it applies to a security update to Windows Kernel, etc. It also mentions this update is the one that may cause AMD devices to get into an "unbootable state", although I fortunately do not have an AMD device.
