09 March 2021 - Windows update - KB5000802
We've been having some crashes in relation to the latest Windows update KB5000802 which are causing users to experience BSOD (Blue Screen of Death), see image below:
I've collected some data from the minidump file as to which drivers could be causing this to happen and the same three have been picked up on several computers facing this problem.
win32kfull.sys
win32kbase.sys
ntoskrnl.exe
So far the trigger to the BSOD with the current Windows update version has been:
- Visio 365, when the user loads up a file and selects "File"
- when a user tries to print something and it tries to load the print preview window
Our current solution to this problem has been to uninstall Update KB5000802 from the Windows Update Settings -> View Update History -> Uninstall updates
If Microsoft could please shed some light on this particular issue or if there's info on an upcoming fix release, that would be very much appreciated.
Thanks.

After installing this update, you might receive an APC_INDEX_MISMATCH error with a blue screen when attempting to print to certain printers in some apps. We are presently investigating and will provide an update when more information is available. -
