Microsoft Issues patch for Windows update that causes BSODs and boot issues

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.

Wow! Damn it... Yersterday, for first time since I had DX4 @100Mhz ( OK, OK my E6600 CPU did it, too, on XP ) my PC was truly slow, like when we had 3-4 programs open and was crawling back then. Meanwhile, I only had a Torrent downloading, a game ( alt tab ) and browser open. Never seen my PC crawling and it was truly disturbing. Thought a virus or something since I don't use any antivirus. Still couldn't find anything. Process explorer was reporting less than 9% overall CPU usage. No culprit on the horizon.

After I did the reboot, it stack at loading screen. Second reboot all went fine.

I hope this will take care the situation, but Microsoft mentioned: "Customers that download updates directly from Windows Update (Home and consumer devices) or Windows Update for Business are not impacted. "

What exactly does it mean? Is my PC affected? I use the Pro version... Anyway, fingers crossed.

Well if you haven't experienced boot issues probably you are not affected as well.
