Microsoft Pulls Windows 10 Preview Update KB3105208 Due to BSODs

Redmond confirms the only solution is to disable Secure Boot

One of the updates that Microsoft recently shipped to computers running Windows 10 Insider Preview build 10565 was causing BSODs all of a sudden and in some cases, made it impossible to boot to the desktop and access files.

We first reported on this issue yesterday morning when the first reports on the issues caused by KB3105208 started reaching the web, but it turns out that this was actually a widespread problem that was eventually acknowledged by Microsoft too.

Gabriel Aul, head of the Windows Insider program, confirmed the botched update a few hours ago and also revealed that Microsoft has decided to pull KB3105208 completely to prevent more PCs from getting it.

I think one thing Windows 10 Insider Preview users must keep in mind is this is basically a Beta test program by another name and these versions of Windows are Beta versions. Consequently, these type problems should be expected. If you want to be an "Insider", that's great! The more "Beta testers" shaking out the bugs before final release to the general population the better. But don't run this version on your primary computer unless you are prepared to lose everything! Having a good back up plan is essential.
