Recent win7 fixes caused fb1.1.8b3 to hang

I just thought I'd report this.

I am running windows 7 x64. Up until today, fb2k was working fine.
I did a Windows Update this morning, and after rebooting, Foobar2000 v1.1.8b3 would hang up when I tried to start it, and could not be canceled from the Task Manager. I do not know which of the recent fixes caused the problem.

I then tried starting Foobar again, using the "troubleshoot compatibility" option. Win7 did it's thing and said that foobar needed "win/xp service pack 2 compatibility mode". So I accepted that setting and now it starts and plays.

Here is a list of the fixes that were installed:
