Patch Lady post – if you’ve patched…

Posted on July 13, 2018 at 20:08 CDT by Susan Bradley • Comment in the Forums

Susan here, Friday night in the USA, Saturday for those of you on the other side of the globe. If you have patched your machines and see no issues, keep them as they are. Don’t pull back updates if your machines have gotten through July patching okay.

If you have NOT updated, this would be a really good time to make sure you know exactly how to pause updates. I still don’t have a good root cause of what is causing the blue screens of death on some machines. I have some unconfirmed reports that it may be intrusion monitoring software but it’s too early to tell for sure. All I can tell you is that every Windows patch has a possible known issue posted.

That isn’t to say that everyone will hit this – for example on the three computers I’ve updated at home, I’m not seeing this bsod. So it’s not 100% guaranteed that you’ll hit this. That said, lets not see if we do.

So turn off your computer and read a book, pause updates in Windows 10, trick the system with the metered trick, etc etc… you get the idea that this is not the weekend to be deploying updates.

After installing this update, some devices running network monitoring workloads may receive the 0xD1 Stop error because of a race condition

Currently, there is no workaround for this issue.

Microsoft is working on a resolution and estimates a solution will be available mid-July.
