Microsoft Windows Insider chief 'fesses up to potential blue-screen inducing glitch
Windows 10 Springwatch – as it shall henceforth be known – has entered its second week and Microsoft has dropped the first clue as to what caused the delay: bugs.
Though Microsoft has never actually confirmed a release date or name for the elusive Windows 10 Spring Creators Update (aka version 1803), many expected it to arrive on April 10's Patch Tuesday, with build 17133 hitting the Release Preview ring of the Windows Insider programme.
But nothing happened, until now.
Supremo of the Windows Insider programme, Dona Sarkar, dropped a hint last night as to what might have occurred with the release of build 17134 to the brave soldiers on the Fast ring.
"As Build 17133 progressed through the rings, we discovered some reliability issues we wanted to fix. In certain cases, these reliability issues could have led to a higher percentage of (BSOD) on PCs for example," said Sarkar in the post.
The team at Microsoft has elected to add the fixes in KB4100375 to build 17134. This includes a patch for PDF security in Edge and the inevitable raft of miscellaneous security updates for the rest of the OS (including more tweaks for Internet Explorer, the browser that will not die.)
KB4100375 had been included in the last update for build 17133, indicating that whatever was the cause of the problem lay elsewhere.
Microsoft has come to rely on Windows Insiders to act as canaries for the operating system. With reliability issues too severe to be fixed in an update, it may be that too much quality control work has been offloaded onto these helpful enthusiasts. ®
Now, doing that with real customers in a real release is kind of shoddy...

I stuck my win10 hard drive in the computer to check for updates and boom half way through Blue Screen . I wish it would tell why/what Blue Screened it
Got the Blue Screen too. It took two start ups to get the computer to work. I had AVAST check everything out. It seems to be working OK now.
It’s not a ‘bug’.
It’s a FEATURE!................
look in event viewer
Windows 10 is an unwanted virus that invades your system without your permission and is virtually impossible to get rid of. I have it by force and make it a point never to use it.
What is the best way to renew or clean install Windows 10? All these updates must be piling up and slowing things down. Do you agree with me on this?
Should I go the Windows 10 website and put the latest edition on a flash drive? Will my computer or laptop automatically recognize that I already have legal Windows Ten via being embedded in the EFI-BIOS? Or should I use a key finder like Magical Jelly Bean and save my Windows Ten KEY on a piece of paper also...email it to myself to be sure?
One thing is for certain, if your computer is booting (or trying) in to Windows 10, then is ain’t your computer.
You can’t use it until MS update servers give you permission.
