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.

    Windows on the PC only runs on one CPU type, including the Intel clone shit factory that is AMD.

    Aye, and that is why we had to ditch the AMD CPU'ed motherboards we had at work for Intel ones, the mysterious issues we had with the CAD software then disappeared.

    USB is USB, ditto for most other common peripherals.

    I take it then, you've never had the joys of dealing with things like a marginal mouse (won't work in portX, but in portY..yet a portable USB disk works fine in portX), then there's USB memory sticks...

    Truly divergent stuff like graphics cards supply their own drivers.

    I'm currently setting up a low end gaming machine, I'm on motherboard number 3, as the graphics card of choice doesn't like t'other two boards..

    The amount of truly different PC systems is exaggerated, greatly.

    There is no difference between a shitty HP machine and a shitty Dell machine.

    No, they're differently shitty (take it from me, having had the joys of looking after large numbers of the feckers, I'd rather deal with HP than Dell currently..this wasn't always the case..)

    Stop making excuses for the incompetence of MS, which has been a problem since the 70's.

    Amen..
