Windows 10 Anniversary Update: BSOD with Kindle – Webnews

Windows 10 Anniversary Update , the full-bodied update released earlier this month introduced several new features and improvements, but it seems that during the test phase has escaped a few bugs too. After the freeze problems and the failure of the webcam, some users have reported the appearance of the infamous BSOD (Blue Screen Of Death), when a Kindle is connected to the USB ports of PC.

The bug has been reported that both Microsoft Community on the Amazon forum. In practice, the PC crashes, showing the note blue screen, if you connect to the USB ports (2.0 or 3.0) or the Kindle Paperwhite Kindle Voyage. This makes it impossible to transfer ebooks and reload the device. The Redmond company has confirmed the problem and issue a fix in the coming days, perhaps before the September Patch Tuesday. One user noticed that the BSOD is not displayed if the Kindle is already connected to the USB port before the computer.

Microsoft has not had much luck even with the cumulative update KB3176934 of 23 August ( build 14393.82). The update improves various components of Windows 10, including PowerShell. Unfortunately someone forgot (!) To insert a .mof file in the package, so the DSC function (Desired State Configuration) is not usable. In this case, the temporary solution is to uninstall the update with this PowerShell command:

wusa / uninstall / kb: 3176934

Microsoft has promised distribution a fix for August 30, probably within the build 14393.103 released a few hours for Insider Windows users.
