SharePoint Feb 2015 CU causes managed metadata service issue

-
After applying the Feb CU to SharePoint DEV environment, a few development VMs are having issues with managed metadata services.  Most of the VMs, experience issues on the My Profile Edit page where all the term set properties are getting the following error:

 There was a problem retrieving data for this field.  Updating values in this field is disabled temporarily.  You can still update values in other fields.

Also, if you're trying to enter a hashtag when posting a newsfeed, you'll get

The tagging service is currently unavailable, Please try again later.

After some investigation, our infrastructure guys figuring out the solution to fix it.  You have to do the following:

1.       Open a Command Prompt window using Farm account and at the command prompt, type:
 
cd /d %commonprogramfiles%\Microsoft Shared\Web server extensions\15\BIN
 
2.       Fix the permissions on the server by entering the following command:
 
psconfig -cmd secureresources
 
3.       Restart IIS and make the changes by entering the following command at the command prompt:
iisreset /noforce
After the steps above, the issues are gone.

So, yeah - thank you!

To create a custom display template, the best approach is to copy an existing one from Out-Of-Box display templates.  You can try each one and find the one that is closest to what you want to do. All the display templates are in the master page gallery.  To access it, Site Settings -> Master pages and page layouts -> Display Templates The Content Web Parts folder contains the display templates for content search web part and Search folder contains the display templates for the search results web parts. The easiest way to take a look at the display templates is to open the list in windows explorer.  On the ribbon, click on Open with Explorer option. You'll see a lot of html and js files in Content Web Parts folder.  The HTML files are the ones that you'll need to take a look.  The .js files are auto-generated when you add a new HTML file or update an existing one. For every content search web part, you usually have to specify two display tem...
