anuseems Posted August 25, 2014 Share Posted August 25, 2014 DailyTech posted a story that a recent released security patch caused the infamous blue screen of death (BSOD) on some Windows 8.1 PCsThe error (known more technically as Stop 0x50) reportedly occurred for a small number of users with the following updates:KB2970228 - Non-security optional patch for new Russian Ruble symbolKB2975719 - Patch Tuesday update set (includes KB2970228)KB2976897 - Kernel PatchMS 14-045/KB2982791 - Kernel PatchThe '897 and '791 patches modify Win32k.sys/Gdi32.dll, so copying those from a working machine of the same version of Windows will negate the effects of those patches (according to Redditors). Patch '228 creates a troubled temporary file called fntcache.dat -- which can simply be deleted to apparently fix that part of the problem.http://www.dailytech.com/Microsoft+Roughly+25000+Win8x+Users+See+Blue+Screens+After+Botched+Patch/article36440.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
