An issue with Windows 10 Technical Preview build 10565 caused systems to boot into a blue screen of death (BSOD). Several Windows Insiders who installed update KB3105208 became victim of an issue that affected users with Secure Boot and UEFI enabled. Microsoft has decided to withdraw the update.
Users affected by the issue can easily resolve the issue with a workaround posted by Microsoft's Gabe Aul on the Microsoft forums, "The temporary workaround is to disable Secure Boot so that your machine can boot correctly. Once we have a fix for the issue we definitely want you to be sure to re-enable Secure Boot for your protection. I'll share more info on that when we have a fix in hand."
According to Aul the issue hit Microsoft by surprise, "The series of hotfixes that we've been sending out are actually mostly "empty" (they include some config changes and test binaries) and have been for the purpose of testing our delivery pipeline. So this definitely caught us a bit by surprise that it was having this impact."
Microsoft developers are currently working on finding out what happened, and Aul stresses that he's happy the update was first distributed to Windows Insiders, which have agreed to test beta versions, "We're debugging what the precise cause was, but this happening to you likely exposed a bug that we need to address - so I hope you at least feel good as an Insider that you prevented this from happening to less technically savvy customers. Thanks everyone, and sorry again that today was a tough day to be an Insider."
