From what I've heard and to play a devil's advocate, it coincidented with Microsoft pushing out a security update at basically the same time, that caused the issue. So it's possible that they didn't have a way how to test it properly, because they didn't have the update at hand before it rolled out. So, the fault wasn't only in a bug in the CS driver, but in the driver interaction with the new win update - which they didn't have.
How sure are you about that? Microsoft very dependably releases updates on the second Tuesday of the month, and their release notes show if updates are pushed out of schedule. Their last update was on schedule, July 9th.
I'm not. I vaguely remember seeing it in some posts and comments, and it would explain it pretty well, so I kind of took it as a likely outcome. In hindsight, You are right, I shouldnt have been spreading hearsay. Thanks for the wakeup call, honestly!
