Newest update KB4535996 is crashing machines. Makes the machines lock up and blue screen at log in screens.  Not able to get into any safe mode and uninstall this update. Forcing rebuild and GPO's to block this particular update. Microsoft says they havent heard of any problems. however when you search the web there is a slue of issues just from this optional update. Anyone else having issues w this KB?

[Thread moved by VM from Windows 7 forum to Windows 10 forum because KB4535996 is for Windows 10, versions 1903 and 1909, not Windows 7]

    Seeing this issue with about 200 machines. Uninstalling the update doesnt come off cleanly and still gets lock ups on initial boot.

    Hey guys,

    I recently installed this update, over the weekend or so, as suggested by Microsoft windows. 

    To my suprise, early morning yesterday while studying my pc froze and showed the blue screen of death. Out of the blue really. My drive, for almost 3 years had never had any errors or such. 

    I tried everything to fix it. Bootrec /fixboot showed access denied. Chkdsk ran for hours and said nothing waa wrong. System restore didnt work. SYSTEM RESET DIDNT WORK EITHER. Uninstalling the update from recovery screen didn't work. It didnt allow me to boot Safe mode. I tried these from the recovery environment AND a recovery drive. And you all know windows encrypts your user files... 

    So there was no way to fix my pc or get my files back. Im losing my school work, personal work, lots of important files, to say the least. 

    Right now, i'm busy with a clean install... Admist the busiest semester of my final year...

    Thanks a lot windows. We didnt only ask for an operating system that works. Many like me that have been affected by your **** will eventually stop using windows and switch to more reliable OS. And you won't own that monopoly for long. (Fingers crossed)

    I've been an MS Windows user for 34 continuous years and this latest update fiasco with KB4535996 is the final straw for me. Just picked up my new 16" MacBook Pro and as God as my witness I'm never looking back. Same goes for my wife and our 3 kids.

    I thought it was so. I suggested to my colleagues not to install it at all
