We’ve seen many reports here on AskWoody.

There’s also a thread on Reddit. More on MyDigitalLife.

Some reports are detailed. Some are — well, they’re complaints. If you can imagine. AMD machines are being pinpointed.

If you hit a blue screen, or you know someone who did, please post about it here. Include your processor type (Intel or AMD), which version of Windows you’re using, which antivirus you’re using, and whether you installed the patch manually or via Windows Update.

UPDATE: Lots and lots of reported problems.
