Microsoft fix bricks some AMD PCs

Re: Microsoft fix bricks some AMD PCs
'Bricked' is probably the wrong word in the article as it is sometimes causing boot up issues from what i understand.
I patched my Intel yesterday with the Kaisen Patch for Meltdown, just hope my smart phone and tablet gets a patch as it is old! |
Re: Microsoft fix bricks some AMD PCs
I have updates block on my windows 10 machine until i see that Microsoft have not messed up. When i have seen that the patch does not mess up Intel based windows machines then i will let it update. As Microsoft have a track record of issuing messed up patches they can go forth in short jerky moments for now.

I have a bios update from Asus to install also but holding off for now as i hate doing that. ---------- Post added at 19:10 ---------- Previous post was at 18:34 ---------- Nvidia requires an update. https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answ...tail/a_id/4611 https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/product-security/ Comodo and Avast are confirmed to be ok, so it is ok to install the MS patch. |

Re: Microsoft fix bricks some AMD PCs
I don't blame you which is why i waited a good few days for confirmation from users which told me i needed to make sure my AV was compatible and it also requires a specific registry key in the registry which i did have, not sure when that got there though.
I think this patch is going to drop today on windows update. |

Microsoft are not the only ones caught out by this - rushing out patches with issues.
The latest Linux kernel updates for Centos 6 & Centos 7 have hit problems as well. |

We don't seem to have a dedicated thread for the Meltdown Spectre vulnerabilities so i will add this here.
For people on affected Mobiles/Tablets, it looks like some of us will be abandoned as i have an LG G3 and after a web search this mobile won't be getting anymore security updates..... not happy at all. |
Re: Microsoft fix bricks some AMD PCs
My Win10 box tried to patch then errored. Trying to restart took an hour to shutdown then tried and failed to patch again and got stuck in a loop. Eventually returned to a restore point just before patching attempt and now stable. Update shows patch available with button to apply. Not going to push it.

Make sure your AV is compatible.

Re: Microsoft fix bricks some AMD PCs
Some Googling needed for you then, as these issues are too serious not to patch.
