Be afraid of KB3105208, blue screen, repair doesn't work, system restore doesn't work

[NXTwoThou]

Just had this happen to me. Did a quick search and considering it's only been out for a short time, there's a lot of currently dead machines.

Just updated with no problem

Ditto. surface 3.

This is getting tiresome. The frequency of failed updates issued by Microsoft is inexcusable.

Disable Secure Boot, that will fix the BSOD

 

[Robert Rathbun]

Go to the slow ring if your going to cry about testing software, or quit the program altogether. Comments like "Microsoft BLAH BLAH BLAH' are inappropriate here. Just quit and give up testing altogether if you can stand the heat in the kitchen.

THIS IS A TESTING PROGRAM WITH RISKS AND WAS NEVER INTENDED TO BE A FREE LICENSE PATH

As for the work around for the BSOD, I am going to give it a shot.

Thanks to those who provide useful feedback!

 

[Robert Rathbun]

Just quit the program, it's optional and meant for people that want to test

 

[NXTwoThou]

Least helpful post ever Robert. You turned a warning post about insiders needing to pay attention to this update into your personal superiority complex about anyone having issues being unworthy or incapable of testing. Hope you got whatever personal satisfaction you needed out of taking the time to type that.

jcotton42 hit it on the head. I've posted their suggestion in the other forum and a lot of people who've been stuck are now alive again. That was the original purpose, mentioning a problem, finding solutions to problem. Making sure none of the testers feel isolated when their machines do something unexpected.

How can we fix this? My SP3 is not booting at all/

 

[tbsteph]

You need to turn off secure boot. Setting is found in the advanced startup menu.

 

[jtwright]

Just found that out. Thanks.

 

[Mark Kaplan]

Thanks for posting. Happened to me too. And to the &$#@ know it all, the issue affects all SP3 with secure boot enabled. Preview or not!

 

[ArtieMcD]

Happened to me too on Surface Pro 1 with Secure boot enabled. Had to disable secure boot and manually enter the decryption key to let windows finish booting after the patch.

Issue also borked my ThinkPad x1 carbon touch (2nd gen - 2014 model). Unfortunately I wiped drive with a fresh install and as soon as I updated it happened again. Wish I read this thread before I wiped drive!

Kind of surprised this isn't getting more attention. Not even an alert article from Windows Central?. These updates need to be QA'd better. Especially on Microsoft's own hardware...

 

[dicks-webos]

Had massive issue with getting this on my SF2PRO. Had a blue screen and could only get it back to work by system restore point. Then I disabled secure boot and it worked.

 

[Mark Kaplan]

Another update, this morning I had the exact same issue on my Lenovo X1 Carbon. Fortunately this time I knew the fix. Disabled Secure Boot and the system came up fine. This has got to be the worst release they've done in awhile. I'm hearing a lot of people affected. Reports are coming in from our users as well. This wont be a good day.....

Gabe replied on Twitter "We're seeing reports of this. Temp workaround is to disable secure boot until fix"

I did submit a "news tip" via the link on the site, but did not include the forum link. Also this is not only affecting those in the Insider Program. Standard Windows 10 installs have the same issue after applying the update. I'm getting hit with many of my user base having this issue.

Had no clue it was going to be so wide spread until I woke up to find 100+ posts on the Microsoft answers site. I'm just very glad that jcotton42 made their post about secure boot.

Speaking of problems, I've been having a hell of a time with the forums here. Load up developer tools in Edge and take a look at the console errors about unmatched end tags and unable to decode image.
