In October, those who encountered the dreaded Blue Screen had to roll back their machines to a previous version of Windows, if they did so within ten days of installing the update. If you’re not familiar with the Blue Screen, I’ll summarize. However, many users encountered the nightmare for all Windows users: The Blue Screen of Death. In October 2019, Microsoft released a new update that was designed to remedy a printer driver issue from the previous update. I often envision the Microsoft patching process as a game of whack-a-mole: one issue is addressed, another bursts onto the scene and the cycle seems to loop continuously. The last several Windows 10 updates were buggy, and, in some instances catastrophic if installed. To say Microsoft’s patching process is riddled with issues would be a kind gesture.

If you use a Windows-based computer, you are aware of Patch Tuesday and also the dark side of Windows patching.
