For a change, a Windows update screwup does little more (or so it
looks) than leave a junk folder behind
<https://www.tomshardware.com/software/windows/windows-update-drops-empty-intepub-folder-in-system-leaves-users-scratching-heads-after-april-update>.
But it seems the folder name triggers unpleasant memories for some:

    ... this folder is associated with systems with Microsoft’s
    Internet Information Services (IIS) installed. IIS is a web server
    platform with a long history of security vulnerabilities.

Is that how people remember IIS nowadays? As a source of security
vulnerabilities, rather than a useful way to offer Web services on a
Windows platform?

Oh dear, how sad, never mind ...
