Microsoft urges customers to uninstall 'Blue Screen of Death' update One of last week's security updates has bricked an unknown number of PCs running Windows 7
Computerworld - Microsoft on Friday quietly recommended that customers uninstall one of last week's security updates after users reported that it crippled their computers with the infamous "Blue Screen of Death" (BSOD).
The update, identified as MS14-045 in Microsoft's numbering, was one of nine released on "Patch Tuesday," Aug. 12, was designed to fix three separate flaws, including one related to a font vulnerability and another in the Windows kernel, the heart of the operating system.

Hmm...you created this in General, but seems like it belongs in Sidebar, no?
-
You have the power to fix that, oh awesome one.
-
I debated putting it in sidebar, but wanted it to be clear that I consider it 'important' and not just 'wtf'
-
Wonder who's doing these Win7 updates these days. Interns? Juniors? Random people they pull off the street?
-
WTFs are important.

So does @Matches. So do you. Yanking it out from under him seemed rude.

Never having used it, I didn't remember whether that was available to mere Leaders, and CBA to look it up.

It is available to mere Leaders.

This seems to tie back to my complaint a few months back about the support cycle for Win 7. They're abandoning Win 7, hopefully in favor of making Win 9 really good.

Since we're talking about M$, that could be viewed as a case of semantics.

Maybe. But they keep telling me that BSODs are a thing of the past.

I see them all the time.
Of course, it happens all the time when your company produces hardware and device drivers, and 99.999999999% of the time the BSOD is because someone here Did It Wrong™.

And FTFY'd!
It's safe to assume that information that's > 14 hours old is no longer relevant and can be moved safely. At least according to some influential person's opinion.

Is 14 hours a configurable option? Is it some magic rule? Or just more Jeffasspull?

Ah....the smell of KeBugCheckEx in the morning?

I think it's an Alice ass pull, and maybe it's configurable if you buy dinner?

Seems like a plan. Been a while since I took anyone to dinner.
