Microsoft suffered great embarrassment this month when it was learned that a Windows patch it released with its August Patch Tuesday updates, could actually cause a “Blue Screen of Death” lockup under certain circumstance. Almost as embarrassing is that it took 2 weeks to release a fix to the fix.

In fact, shortly after the August 12th release of MS14-045 a flood of users were posting desperate messages on popular tech sites reporting that their computers were locked. One can only imagine the situation at Microsoft customer support centers.
On Aug. 15, Microsoft notified users that they should uninstall the components that made up MS14-045. However, they did make a general announcement preferring to keep thier error “hush hush, mush mush”.Shortly thereafter they deleted the problem patch from the update.
