• Microsoft yanks buggy second monthly cumulative update for Win10 version 1803, KB 4467682

    Posted on December 6, 2018 at 13:33 CST by • Comment in the Forums

    Remember the buggy Win10 version 1803 patch that bluescreens Surface Book 2 machines?

    Microsoft urged Surface Book 2 owners to boot around the bluescreen and uninstall the patch. Which is just what you want to tell your boss about her brand new, expensive Surface Book 2, right?

    Looks like MS has retracted completely and pulled the patch. The KB article now says:

    After installing this optional update some users have reported getting a blue or black screen with error code, “System thread exception not handled.” As a precaution, we have removed this optional update from Windows Update and Microsoft Update Catalog to protect customers. Fixes and improvements will be available in the December 2018 security update release and will include a resolution for this issue.

    One can only hope that Microsoft will test this patch, for a change, before it appears.

    And that “optional” stuff. That’s just a fig leaf. The second monthly cumulative updates are “optional” in the sense that you have to click on Check for Updates. Which isn’t exactly optional, to my way of thinking.

    Thx Günter Born, who promises to have a blog post tomorrow that describes a second bug in the same cumulative update.
