The blue screens return to Windows 10 in users who updated their computers ahead of time via ISO
Table of contents:
The wait is over. Windows 10 April 2018 Update is real, but its arrival is not without controversy, especially as a result of some small problems that are occurring among some users. Thus we saw how when using Chrome and some other applications the system would freeze, forcing a resuscitation maneuver as long as Microsoft did not release a patch to correct it.
A failure to which a new error has now been added. A bug that many could believe banished but that returns to spoil the party in such a way that it seems that it has never completely gone away. Yes friends, let's talk about the dreaded blue screens.
Users affected by this error are those who have chosen to install Windows 10 April 2018 Update using the ISO image and are receiving a blue screen on their computers with the message _CRITICAL_PROCESS_DIED_ We don't know if the version that is distributed by OTA will offer the same bug.
When the message appears on the screen, the computer suddenly restarts without giving time to save the tasks we are carrying out. And the worst of all is that the appearance of the error message does not follow a specific pattern so it is more difficult to determine the causes that can motivate it.
For now there is no more information about it than what the affected users are making known in the forums and Redditt is a good example.They speculate that the failure may be due to a problem with the GPU's or compatibility with certain _drivers_ (graphics cards, network cards, Wi-Fi and printers and scanners), although nothing is confirmed.
A temporary solution
In the same way there is no official statement from Microsoft, so the situation is in a waiting process pending the arrival of a possible patchto correct the error. And meanwhile, if you are one of those affected and you get into a loop of blue screens, all that remains is to boot the computer in safe mode so that the system boots with the basic functions and thus try to identify the problem.
A possible solution may be to restore our system to a previous state in which we know it worked correctly or, if we think it can due to a conflict with a driver (_driver_), update the _drivers_ on our computer to the most recent version.
If you want to skip the queue and update your computer to Windows 10 April 2018 Update now, errors how this can serve as a warning for you to take it with Patience and remember what Microsoft thinks about getting ahead of the logical OTA distribution process.
They always recommend not forcing the situation and wait for the update to be released for each user The reason is that the update, like each updated, it may contain an error that affects our team and if we anticipate we skip the possible corrections that can be generated. And with this in mind, let's go to trouble.
