Please tell me you don’t cosplay like a PGA pro when you go to these things … Glasgow Central was full of utter tools getting trains down to Troon the other day :rofl:

:D

Happy to confirm a hoody, shorts (since it was still warmish for Scots) and a fairly comfortable pair of trainers was my attire.

The other “official” outfit seemed to be the tracksuit of a previous Open or Ryder Cup in the last two decades.

I'd guess it was done, then something else went wrong during the world-wide deployment. Such as a file got corrupted during transfer, or someone accidentally published the wrong file.

quite a shocking amount of computers that were affected according to MS and that is only the ones I would suspect have telemetry on as well

That doesn't explain how it got released

I remember back in Windows 95 you could get programs to run by putting a link to the exe.

Someone did this to shutdown, so it immediately shutdown on booting

Yes well alot of peoples dont have good judgement anymore.....

Im glad it was fixed........ I dont think Ihave ever seen so many businesses networks not working like I did on friday!! (You dont realise how many are hooked up to the internet)

Re: IT outages are reported across the world
 

It doesnt really explain much at all.
A "Null Pointer Exception" is very common, and easily caused (usually some sort of programming error).

In this case, the contents of the C-00000291.sys file they tell you to delete caused a crash in the code using it (csagent).
This means the error appears to be the csagent code, not the deleted file - it should handle bad data without crashing, but it didnt.

[Anyone who knows much about windows may also wonder why a file that basically seems to be data has a .sys extension, it really should not].

Wow I did a search Paul,I have 103 files with the .sys extention.....

28 are duplicates of another one....

Re: IT outages are reported across the world
 

Too many of these 'outages' happening lately. Banks etc. Think we all know who to blame. Either we don't get an explanation or its blamed on things like a software update. Propaganda at work.
