Microsoft pulls another Windows 10 update that causes Blue Screen of Death errors

Microsoft’s woes are far from over. This time the Windows 10 November 2018 cumulative update (KB4467682) has been making PCs crash and display the infamous “Blue Screen of Death.” At first, it was reported that the issue was affecting only the Surface Book 2 so Microsoft pulled the update for that device. But now it seems the issue is more widespread. In a new support post, Microsoft writes “After installing this optional update some users have reported getting a blue or black screen with error code, ‘System thread exception not handled.’ As a precaution, we have removed this optional update from Windows Update and Microsoft Update Catalog to protect customers.”

This would’ve probably not been as big an issue if the company hasn’t been plagued by issues for the past few months. The company has had to pull a number of updates in the past few months over different issues. The new problem comes from an optional cumulative update though so it might not affect as many users. The company said it plans to release fixes and improvements for this issue and other issues in the December 2018 security update. Here’s to hoping that isn’t going to cause any problems, too.
