kb2992611

The tag kb2992611 refers to a Microsoft security update originally released in November 2014 to address a Schannel security vulnerability. Users on WindowsForum.com have reported that this update can cause Schannel error 36887 in Event Viewer, along with system freezing for several seconds.

Some users have attempted to resolve the problem by installing a subsequent update, KB3018238, which is designed to remove those problematic ciphers, even on unsupported systems like Windows 7. Discussions also cover whether it is safe to uninstall KB2992611 and go without the security fix.
