Windows 10 and it's Updates

Yesterday I was at a Company where I am doing some freelance work from time to time. They called me at about two o’clock and told me that the software that’s running on some of their computers wasn’t working anymore.

Since the software is business crucial, I checked at my work hours at my normal job and decided that I could leave early to check out the problem.

They told me they’d have already talked to the software development company and they also tried to fix the problem remotely. Sadly without luck.

I called them to talk one on one with a technician. It’s way easier to directly talk with somebody who knows what you want and you don’t have to explain the problems multiple times to people who don’t know anything about computers.

He checked the Windows Event Log and told me that he found out that there are several serious problems inside. He also talked me through what they already tried.

Since all of the affected computers are clones of one, all five are got the same problem. He said that we aren’t the first one with the problem and that it looks like Microsoft f* something up with the restricted access.

The restricted access is needed so the users don’t do anything other than using the software on those computers.

We exchanged a few more ideas back and forth, but the problem is that one of the last updates messed pretty heavily with the system. Unrecoverable messed up.

So, this Sunday I will be spending my day resettings those computers to factory settings. Yeah.

Thanks to Windows 10 and it’s update policy.
