• Yet another botched Automatic Update patch

    Posted on April 11, 2013 at 10:16 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    MS13-036/KB 2823324 is reportedly causing blue screens on Win7 machines.

    So far the problem’s widely reported in Brazil, and at least one other credible sighting has occurred in South Africa and one in UK – but it isn’t clear if they were running the Brazilian version of Windows.

    Apparently the patch corrupts ntfs.sys. One fix that’s been floated is to copy ntfs.sys from a good machine (same version of Windows) to a bluescreened machine.

    There’s a reason why I tell you folks to wait before you install the Black Tuesday patches, eh? Automatic Update is for chumps.

    UPDATE: More details at InfoWorld Tech Watch.
