"Warning: Microsoft's Meltdown and Spectre patch is bricking some AMD PCs"
https://betanews.com/2018/01/08/micr...ricks-amd-pcs/ Jumping out of the frying pan into the fire ? Or is this the ultimate air gap ? Lynn |

Or is this the ultimate air gap ? "error 0x800f0845 -- means that it is not possible to perform a rollback" Many users are too lazy to schedule regular image backups of their OS partition (and that includes the MBR/UEFI sector) and also to create a system backup right before committing digital surgery on their OS. After they phuck up their system, mention backups and they look like deer caught in headlights. Typical users do not qualify as sysadmins, not even as newbie sysadmins. They don't plan. They deliberately choose to remain ignorant. No, you don't need to be a master mechanic to drive a car but you should be one to replace the intake manifold gasket. For an OS, you have lots of drivers that think they are mechanics. If you don't do backups then you consider your system and data as unimportant, disposable, or reproducible. Most users are like children with loaded handguns: let's see what happens AFTER pulling the trigger. |

The tools that Cameo used to fix this we "I was able to use the original Win7 install DVD in Repair Mode that gave my DOS command window where I entered: DISM /image:c:\ /cleanup-image /revertpendingactions Because the corrupt package was not installed com completely I was able to use this shorter DISM command instead of the longer DISM /image:c:\ /remove-package /packagename: etc. command. After the restart my Win7 booted up normally and the update history shows that KB4056894 installation failed: " So that's the usage of DISM in offline mode. The /image parameter indicates which OS you want to apply the operation to. Doing it offline, is what you do when the OS itself won't boot any more. Paul |

Don't trust a smartphone, even reconsider your abacus. You're hopeless now;- it's the worst thing that could have happened. High probability holds Intel is to blame, if conditionally provided a significant slowdown, unless of course a drastic ruse is employed, whereby computers, generally, will give up their secrets in virtual droves. It's really all too terrible, so there's absolutely no excuse not to give it up for a new and corrected OS;- that's called The Patch. It's better that you are immediately responsive, that you only place your trust in a safe manner, as an unknown extent of these exploits can only get worse if you don't. Only Trusted Sources are to be permitted from now on, and never -ever- download program code elsewhere. Google's discovery of Meltdown and Spectre have now been declared freely to be given -- within their full Grecian implementation: Typus, impression, (sic) of a Logos, or word -- with all rights waived. Thank the Gods;- the importance of this information can never, henceforth, be underestimated. |

I supposed Microsoft used some SIMD instructions that the AMD didn't have. |
