Microsoft Issues patch for Windows update that causes BSODs and boot issues
Microsoft released a patch today that resolves an issue with Windows 10. Some end users have been experiencing boot problems and BSODs. According to Microsoft the culprit was a ‘publishing problem’ with two security updates that were released last Tuesday.
The first users started to complain about the issue Wednesday but Microsoft didn’t respond to them until today. Now the company admits it’s aware of the issues and published a page on its website with information on how to resolve the them, reports myce.
Users who received the updates KB4041676 for Windows 10 build 1703, KB4041691 for Windows 10 build 1607, or KB4041691 for Windows Server 2016 through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM) were only affected. Users who received their updates through Windows Update (Business) were not impacted.
Microsoft doesn’t provide any details on what went wrong other than that it was a ‘publishing issue’.
Affected users can find information on how to solve the issue on Microsoft’s website. There are three possible ways on how the issue can be resolved. One method involves simply re-scanning for updates, the other two are a lot more work. If the computer still boots an administrator has to run a script provided by Microsoft.
If the PC doesn’t boot anymore the bypass would be resorting to the Automatic Repair feature of Windows 10 and following multiple steps to remove the faulty updates or going back to a System Restore point.

I've been a linux user for 15+ years, but always had a Windows home computer for games. Windows 10 was the last straw for me... I still play games, since Steam works on Ubuntu as well. Of course, the number of games supported is not very big. Recently I installed Outlast, and it runs pretty good.
I just decided it's time to say goodbye to windows spyware/adware as well as 99% of viruses out there
That is funny... because the shiit that Canonical did by including Amazon buying suggestions in the middle of desktop searches, is far beyond anything ever seen on any other OS, windows including.
Because of this I will never ever touch Ubuntu

Oh right... I was surprised to see that, but it was easy to turn off. Unlike in Windows 10 where you have to download 3rd party tools to be able to turn off all the spyware... not to mention jumping through hoops to turn off automatic update. I had a work laptop overheat and damage the battery because Windows decided to boot on it's own at 5AM in the morning, to apply updates. However, I had a boot password set up, so it just stayed there in my bag, asking for password and cpu at 100% for 2.5 hours.... amazing experience

How does a BSOD looks like on Win7/8/10? Is it still blue?

The last time I had a BSOD was under Windows 8.1 when I upgraded my desktop from 16 to 32GB of RAM because of having 4 RAM chips installed on my board I needed to increase the voltage of the RAM due to it being unstable because of the 2 extra chips.
Windows 8/8.1 has the same BOSD as Windows 10 with the frown based emoticon.

Damn Dude that sucks. I had a similar issue where I put my laptop into hibernation mode and it turned it self on to install updates lucky for me I didn't have in a bag when it was warm on the bottom after a few hrs of being on.
