I've now got 7 tracked threads I cannot stop tracking, the 'stop tracking thread' text is missing.
I've tried the workarounds but they do n't-workaround that is.
Any ideas?

I always have 2 notifications, even when there are no updates from the threads I am tracking. It looks like that feature has been broken since the update.

@ Wanderer, try this:
Open your tracked threads listing and then click 'mark all as read' then hover the pointer over your notifications counter, it should reset to zero and stay that way.
Odd, thought I listed the problematical threads!

I log in through the Forum section-the system hangs if I try to log in on the front page and am on the UK site.
Using IE10 under Win7 64 bit, all updates applied.

Check to see if you have the "Unfollow" link under the first post of each of those threads coozie7. That's what you'll want to click to make sure you aren't tracking them.

Can't see anything that says unfollow, not on any of the threads I'm tracking.
Just to clarify how I get to the threads: Front page>forum dropdown>(subcategory)>sign in>my profile name dropdown>tracked threads>double click on the item to view.
It's very strange because it seems to be totally random, none of them are marked as closed or solved and all can be found in the Forum pages, if you go far enough back.

I'll report it as a bug and let the developers know to take a look into it.

Hey that worked for my 2 notifications. Thanks coozie. Not very often the OP solves someone else's problem.
