We don't need hackers to crash Windows for us, it's already a feature

Computers are actually a game board designed to see how many programs, services, drivers, and components you can add before it topples over. That's right, inverse jenga 🤓

It would appear this feature isn't working properly here. I haven't had a crash in years.
Seems a few folks may have purchased their systems at PEBKAC Electronics, Inc.

Is it? I have yet to crash Windows 10 after 8 months of use.

ROFL. Very funny and true. It was more common for that to happen during the Win 9x?Me days though. However crashes can still happen from Windows 7 to Windows 10.

good that it can only crash, with lastest procesors and windows 10 power managment it could literaly burn your procesor

Do people still get Windows crashes, i've not saw this since the XP and early W7 days. Even on the fast ring for W10 it's really hard to cause it.

Since going strictly Intel none of my builds crash. Current system was built in 2011 and runs 24/7.

My only system that runs 24/7 is dual Pentium III on NT 4.0 server.

Good joke. Fast ring is full of GSODs since forever.

Anyhow, if I get the gist correctly...how is this a vulnerability when for all intents and purposes, the attacker is the target? :infinity:

Doesn't work here either since Windows 7 unless I specifically did something that could've made it crash (unstable OC, ...).

I gonna become PrMinisterGR and furiously defend Windows 10 in this thread.
It is a little unclear how the vulnerability can be exploited as you need to perform this within a local LAN and this be in the same building as the PCs are. However of you have setup an open DMZ zone on your router or have ports TCP ports 139 and 445 along with UDP ports 137 and 138 you could be vunerable. Other then the crash no data otherwise is compromised.
This is a very small window to perform hack. You only have to worry if you using public WiFi / LAN and have vulnerable ports open. Also hacker have to have same windows built as you. And its only crash, not like your data gonna be stolen. I'd rather worry about securing sensitive data transfer over public wifi than this exploit.

It is not about being on LAN with attacker. It is about having public IP (accessibility). NAT apparently cuts you away quite well. Anyway, this week funny thing visited my email. UPC informed me that it is this time in a year and they focus on security. They decided that RDP I am using should be blocked and kindly offered to block it for me on their firewall. If I ignored that mail, they would stick chewing gum into my ports... I had hard time understanding their logic. As client paying for 3 public IPs, I apparently want my systems to be exposed.
