Wow. Windows 10 Updates Causing Problems Again
Shouldn't be any surprise with this, airite?
It was only a short while since the last crash inducing update for Windows 10, this time it appears to be causing crashes, BSODs, and the inability to reboot even in safe mode.
The apparent recovery for this, is to be booting to a recovery ISO, uninstalling the update/rolling back, and hoping you don't get hit again.
I'm rather surprised that it's possible to uninstall updates with a recovery ISO, given how hard Microsoft is trying to force the updates down our throats.
Here's a problem. A LOT of Windows 10 installs in the wild, that are probably being hit up with this bricking, are FREE digital upgrades from their working, stable Windows 7 and Windows 8.1 installs.
I doubt they have recovery ISOs for Windows 10.
Even if Microsoft has this recovery ISO available on their website as a free download (I have no idea if they do or not), how many regular people have the thought of "Oh, perhaps I'll need a recovery tool in case Microsoft fucks over my computer in the future. I better do that now while I can still use the internet."
People comment that Windows 10 has millions of beta testers. This is the truth. The problem is that the beta tester is the end user.

Of course, I also don't have an ISO recovery disc for Win8.1, either, in case something gets FUBAR with that. What I do have, though, is an installation disc for Windows 7, and I'm more than willing to do a format/reinstall of that on the laptop if necessary. ¬_¬
