KB3013791 resolves crashing from faulty hardware… How can you fix faulty hardware with a software update. I’d love to hear more about that one.
How is it possible?
Why kind of faulty hardware?
“You have a flat tire, but I just updated your car’s computer, so its all fixed now.”
“Your ram is bad, it corrupts all files and filesystems slowly over time, but now there is an update that fixes that… somehow…”
Stopping the error messages perhaps, not the fault itself which is impossible to fix because it’s being caused by hardware as you stated.
Thanks a lot Martin.
For XP and Xp embedded, the June 17th updates were quiet reissues of the June 9 Media Player updates. I removed all the patch Tuesday updates after I had a partition fail twice in a 48 hour period. The NTFS file system disappeared and was replaced by RAW file system. If one rebooted, the partition info and data were gone.
None of my FAT32 partitions were affected.
I removed all June 9 updates and have had no failure since. This might be coincidental and I have read no other reports on this but it’s a heads up in case you have a partition data loss as I did.
