MS-DEFCON 3:
Patch reliability is unclear, but widespread attacks make patching prudent.
Go ahead and patch, but watch out for potential problems.
BUT patching might be as bad as malware depending on your version of 10
The root cause is the same — a key driver gets uninstalled by the install of the updates and not put back down again.
If you are one of the unlucky ones that was damaged or impacted by this and you’ve somehow managed to get your system working again, I would say turn off the windows update service and hang tight. Microsoft is working on a permanent fix.

Unless you’re running Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709), now’s a good time to get all outstanding Microsoft patches installed.

Yes, we are treated by Microsoft like guinea pigs but also like milk cows.
Microsoft is implementing a new policy and try to force other application distributors to do the same.
This is worrying, even terrifying.
But Microsoft is not the only Company doing that.
Perhaps it is our view of capitalism that should be changed.
The computer programming is in crisis and Microsoft is only trying to survive.
The problem is bigger than Microsoft.
