• Bluescreens reported on HP machines with the latest Win10 1803 and 1809 cumulative updates

  But it isn’t at all clear if the bluescreen is due to the cumulative update, the freshly pushed HP keyboard driver, or something else.

  My guess is that there’s a conflict between the “HP Development Company, L.P. – Keyboard -7/11/2018 12:00:00 AM – 11.0.3.1” driver, recently pushed by Windows, and with the Win10 1803 and 1809 cumulative updates. But it’s only a guess.

• Win10 cumulative updates for both 1803 and 1809 throwing bluescreens

  HP computers and a single keyboard driver file, HpqKbFiltr.sys, take most of the blame, but the cause is still uncertain.

  Hey, folks. There’s a reason why we’re on MS-DEFCON 1, eh?

• This month’s cumulative update for Win10 version 1809, KB 4464330, throwing bluescreens

  There’s a great sleuthing report on Windows Latest, by akshay Waghray (!), that collects complaints from HP workstation and PC customers.

  The complaints say that build 17763.55 triggers bluescreens on specific HP computers, with affected users pointing the finger at an HP file called HpqKbFiltr.sys.

  Have you seen anything?

  UPDATE: Looks like there’s a different cause – in spite of a Microsoft Agent’s comment. Post coming in Computerworld.
