Another Windows 10 Update Causing Problems (windowsreport.com)

Posted by timothy on from the price-of-progress dept.

New submitter sexconker writes: The recently-released cumulative update for Windows 10 (KB3140743) is reportedly causing problems. Symptoms include crashes, BSODs, and the inability to boot, even in safe mode. The Windows 10 subreddit has many threads detailing the inability to boot. The only fix seems to be booting to a recovery ISO, uninstalling the update / rolling back, and hoping you don't get hit again. W10Privacy 2 claims to be able to (among other things) give Windows 10 users control over the automatic updates.

    I suppose the telemetry can't run if the machine is unbootable.

    It's not slow. Your connection to the Internet is slow and it's having a hard time sending everything you do to Microsoft.

    So, why do you think they have issued the second stinker in a row? Me, I think it is the curse of the even numbered release. If this one had been Windows 9 it would have been good. But, they knew it sucked, so they numbered it 10.

    If the rumors were true, they didn't use windows 9 because some a lot of software was written to do OS version checks as Windows 9*, which would pick up 95 and 97.

    Here I was thinking I had endured every major windows version, now you are telling me I must go back and look for a 97 to complete the set? ...sigh... ok. Where is that old pentium II laptop again?
