PATCH WATCH

By Susan Bradley

The month of March is not starting off well for those of us who patch Windows 10 machines.

Patchers who have installed the March Windows 10 updates are reporting that upon printing to various printers, they receive a blue screen of death (BSOD), thus crashing their machines. While it doesn’t appear to impact every Windows machine/printer combination, it is widespread enough that Microsoft pulled these particular updates while it investigates.

Read the full story in the AskWoody Plus Newsletter 18.10.0 (2021-03-15).
