It's a MS process issue. This is a testing failure and a rollout failure
This had nothing to do with MS, other than their OS being impacted. Not their software that broke, not an update pushed out by their update system. This is an entirely third party piece of software that installs at the kernel level, deeper than MS could reasonably police, even it somehow was their responsibility.
Thid same piece of software was crashing certain Linux distros last month, but it didn't make headlines due to the limited scope.
My bad i thought this went out with a MS update
Microsoft would never push an update on a Friday. They usually push their major patches on Tuesdays, unless there's something that's extremely important and can't wait.
Windows is imfamous for a do-it-yourself install process, they are likely using their own deployment tools. If anything, criticize them for not helping the update process at all.
