BSOD Again: Microsoft was one of the first companies to release updates to them Meltdown and Specter vulnerabilities in all versions of Windows who are still receiving support. But as it turns out, at least two of these updates are doing more harm than good.
The error caused by the collective information KB4056894 on Windows 7. I get the familiar BSOD stating the error: 0x000000c4.
Windows 7 users are already discussing this issue on TechNet, and some believe that BSOD is caused by compatibility issues with installed antivirus software. Microsoft, on the other hand, reports that Meltdown and Specter fixes are only sent to systems that use a compatible antivirus.
However, there are also some Windows 7 users who report that they are not using third-party security software.
Some posts in Reddit and Forums Microsoft's tests show that it is a widespread issue and uninstalling the patch that causes the BSOD is the only one choice, although this means systems will remain vulnerable to Meltdown and Specter attacks.
To remove the update on a system showing the BSOD, you should use the screen "Repairing it computer your" from startup (either by pressing the F8 key or the corresponding key depending on the device manufacturer).
Open a Command Prompt window and run the following two commands one at a time:
dir d: dism / image: d: \ / remove-package / packagename: Package_for_RollupFix ~ 31bf3856ad364e35 ~ amd64 ~~ 7601.24002.1.4 / norestart
Of course, Microsoft could release an update that fixes the problem in tomorrow's Patch Tuesday.
Dear George, I personally found that my computer running Win7pro x64 has done this update automatically, and I had not noticed until today. Essentially, the result I observe is, unlike in the past, a half-minute delay in the transition to the desktop. In the opening of Windows let's say. I have not finally decided whether all this is good or bad.
What do you think; Should I leave it like this?
If I tried to uninstall this update, would I have another malfunction?
Thank you, John.
Good evening John,
normally there will be no problem with uninstalling, except that your PC will be left unprotected, as long as it does not bother you, it would be good to leave it as it is. Besides, they have already mentioned that these patches will have performance issues, especially in older systems.
Whenever it is something you can probably avoid
Thanks a lot for your time.
The truth is that apart from this delay, I have not noticed any other impact.
My PC has good data, which is probably why. 250αρη SSD Samsung pro, i7 at 3,4, 8gb ram… ..
So I will be satisfied and safe with a simple delay in starting for half a minute more.
Good continuation, happy new year!
She is excellent
