Latest Windows 10 Update Causes Machines with CSVs to Freeze or Lock Up
The April 2019 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 released this "patch Tuesday" (9th April), bearing knowledgebase code KB4493509, is discovered to cause machines with cluster shared volumes (CSVs) to become unresponsive upon restart after installing the update. Installation of cumulative updates forces system restart as Windows shuts down certain services and drivers to a bare-minimum state so it could overwrite system files. This latest issue of system freezing is caused on machines with incompatible security software, such as ArcaBit, however, users over at Ten Forums observed Avira Antivir to show the same incompatibility. Microsoft has since listed this incompatibility as a Known Issue in the description page of KB4493509. All versions of Windows 10 will soon be able to defer updates, letting users prevent buggy updates from being automatically installed. Currently only Windows 10 Pro and Workstation provide this feature.

We're definitely going back to screening our updates so this kind of thing doesn't happen again. The compromise is to stay a little bit behind on the update schedule, with a little bit of administrative overhead to test things. It's worth it if an update doesn't sneak through and cripple our clients like this again. Clearly MS isn't testing their updates as thoroughly as we'd all like them to, so it's up to us unfortunately.
Thank you @btarunr for reporting this issue.
Clearly M$ is not vetting their updates and patches. I sense a lack of quality software engineers over at M$. Where'd they all go? Oh, that's right, they let them go when they don't want to pay them more because of their experience. Experienced software or hardware teams are invaluable to any tech company. Hell, experienced employees anywhere for that matter.
But, what do I know? I'm a mathematician. /facepalm
Been thinking of going back to win7 on both gaming machines for one or more reasons even more so now as one reason was due to Divinity 2 not supporting Win7 if i remember right.
And also thankfully, my daughter's school is an all Mac institution, so they were not subjected to this lack of QA/QC by Microsloft :D
And me thinks I will stay on 1803 on my personal machines for a wee bitz longer, hehehehe...
110.5 billion dollars in Revenue
72 billion dollars Gross Profit
16.5 billion dollars Net Profit after paying dividends to investors
133.8 billion dollars in cash
Does that look like a company that can't pay for a Quality Assurance Dept?
They have no reason in the world to make their customers screen the updates to check for problems and report them to MS especially if they are forcing the updates on hundreds of millions of Windows 10 users. Even when they will allow turning off updates in Windows 10 most people probably won't.
Defer updates in all versions...they said that 1 year ago too. When is it actually coming for Home ?
There are exceptions, of course. For example, I use Eset. Been running fine for years, even considering that I always run the Skip Ahead or Fast Ring builds.
Defer updates for up to 35 days on W10 Home edition is only available for the latest version (1903).
the only way to run the app just through task manager
Problem solved for any version of Windohs 10 including home.
Also, redundancy, backups, blah blah.
I have never had a problem with Windows 10 except on computers using third-party "anti-virus". Uninstall that useless trash and save yourselves money and pain.
Oh, I just downloaded O&O Shut up again. I noticed that my last saved version was back from end 2017. Very pleased I used the new 2019 version, and saw that M$ has TURNED BACK ON telemetry, advert and websearch data sharing. WHAT! I had turned that sht off, and MS obviously turned it back on again in one of its silent updates!
