Windows 10 update traps some systems in a boot loop, Microsoft promises fix
http://www.extremetech.com/computing/237117-windows-10-update-traps-some-systems-in-a-boot-loop-microsoft-promises-fix Microsoft insists that this problem only affected people in the Windows Insider Program, though it has not explained why others not in that program would have been impacted by the latest patch. A fix has been pushed out for the issues but the company has provided no details into what went wrong or what the patch fixes. The supposed link to a knowledge base (KB) article that's supposed to describe the problem is actually dead as of this writing. - - - And herein is the fundamental problem. Unlike the hardware scope of a Chromebook, or even an Android phone, a PC's hardware mix can be so varied and complex in terms of driver environments that automatic updates (which are not necessarily a priori always a bad thing!) can become decidedly problematic in the Windows ecosystem. --Lauren-- Care About Science and Tech?
