SOLVED Servicing Stack update must have been important-2-14-2020

[Saltgrass]

The servicing stack, KB4524244, on Friday must have some special significance. It was delivered on a Friday and shows up with the normal updates. Seems to be related to a Bitlocker (which I don't use) situation regarding Secure Boot.

My system even experienced a BlueScreen about the same time after I had left it in Sleep mode. There was no dump file generated but the message was Internal Power Failure. This Desktop system has never had a Blue Screen before. Weren't some of the Insider builds having sleep problems..?

Technically this is identified as a Security Update but when you click on it, you are directed to the site below. The KB 450xxxx numbers are from July of last year..

Oh well, I will have to keep a closer eye on my system. Maybe next time it will generate a dump file.

No problems so far with my systems....

I was looking at my WindowsUpdate.log and noticed one of the recent updates cleaned out most of my SoftwareDistribution\Download folder. It may have been doing this for a while but I just noticed..

Since my situation happened while I had left the system in sleep while I was outside, I did not see how it happened. But I am fairly sure the system woke up to check for updates.. There are no other indications a problem occurred except for the BSOD frown face and message.. Since the update had something to do with the Secure Boot system, maybe an anti-virus got involved.

Thanks for the info..

Hmm. Curious. I haven't had this delivered yet, although it says it is available through normal updates. I will resist the temptation to do it manually and wait and see if it does come through eventually.

Microsoft pulls Windows 10 KB4524244 update after acknowledging numerous problems

Microsoft has removed standalone security update KB4524244 after it was found to be causing problems with various systems. KB4524244 was supposed to fix issues with the UEFI boot manager, but for many people the patch had problems during installation, and for others it led to system freezes.

Well the last SSU I installed was on KB4538674 Servicing Stack Update Windows 10 v1903 and v1909 - Feb. 11
I haven't seen the KB4524244 and Its not in my update history so I guess I don't have to worry about this one, if is been recalled
