INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
It hard to overstate the problems caused by Microsoft second, third and fourth September cumulative updates for all Windows 10 versions
For example, Win10 version 1903, the latest and greatest, saw cumulative updates on Sept
3 (KB 4524147, which some characterize as a super-early October cumulative update)
As Microsoft kept flinging buggy fixes at the zero-day problem known as CVE-2019-1367, customers kept complaining about problems with:Print
spooler crashes — No, they weren''t fixed with the fourth cumulative update, KB 4524147, in spite of Microsoft assertions
In fact, Mayank Parmar at Windows Latest documents complaints about KB 4524147 breaking PCs that were working after the third cumulative
So we have separate printer bug reports for the second, third and fourth cumulative updates
A royal printer flush.
Start Menu bugsmdash; Click Start on a patched system and you get the message &Critical Error/ Your Start menu isn''t
working,& which is my latest candidate for a D&oh! illuminating error message award.
Older JScript-based program bugs
Can''t type into the
Cortana Search box
VMWare won''t start, with the warning &VMware Workstation Pro can''t run on Windows
Machines won''t boot after installing
the fourth cumulative update (see Lawrence Abrams& report on BleepingComputer), or can''t install the update at all.
Microsoft hasn''t
acknowledged any of those bugs, except for the printer spooler bug in the second September cumulative update
Yes, that the bug that is known to persist (reappear?) in the fourth cumulative update.
