Oh dear. After pausing the recent October Windows 10 Update 1809. It appears Microsoft has rolled out a newer version that fixes the previous problems. 😁 Yeah I hear you cry. Not so fast.
Guess what this update has even more problems. Users are reporting that they are getting Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors. At the moment the majority of users affected are ones that have HP computers.
A post on a Microsoft forum claimed that an HP desktop machine refused to boot up after the update. And another post on the same forum has said that the update has affected several of their computers at work.
Reddit and Twitter users have reported the issues. Most of these users seem to be reporting an error called "WDF_Violation" This is to do with the Windows Driver Framework. One HP user managed to track the error down to a file called HpqKbFiltr.sys. Deleting this file cured the problem. Now this file is the keyboard driver. But not all affected users have this file and some who have deleted it still get the BSOD.
A person working for the Microsoft support team has said that reports are coming in of this update affecting other computer systems such as Dell.
Come on Microsoft sort this out. You have a duty to your 400 million users.
