This midwit believes a half decent Operating System kernel would have a change tracking system that can auto-roll back a change/update that impacts the boot process causing a BSOD. We see in Linux, multiple kernel boot options, fail safe etc. It is trivial to code at the kernel the introduction of driver / .sys tracking that can detect a failed boot and revert to the previous good config. A well designed kernel would have roll back, just like SQL.
- numbsafari 2y agoNot sure why you are being downvoted. Take a look at ChromeOS and MacOS to see how those mechanisms are implemented there. They aren’t perfect, but they are an improvement over what is available on Windows. Microsoft needs to get moving in this same direction.
- teeheelol 2y agoWindows does have that and does do that. Crowdstrike does stuff at UEFI level to install itself again.
- hunter2_ 2y agoCould Microsoft put pressure on UEFI vendors to coordinate a way for such reinstallation to be suppressed during this failsafe boot?
