Microsoft Blocks Windows 10 Version 1809 on Some PCs Due to Bad Intel Drivers

Intel accidentally turned on unsupported features

The Windows 10 version 1809 bug saga is far from coming to an end, as Microsoft has just acknowledged another issue in the operating system update.

The Redmond-based software giant says it blocked the October update on some Intel PCs due to bad display drivers released by Intel.

“Intel inadvertently released versions of its display driver (versions 24.20.100.6344, 24.20.100.6345) to OEMs that accidentally turned on unsupported features in Windows,” the company says.

The original version of Windows 10 version 1809, released in early October, came with an issue caused by broken Intel audio drivers, but Microsoft says this is a different bug caused by another set of drivers.

“After updating to Windows 10, version 1809, audio playback from a monitor or television connected to a PC via HDMI, USB-C, or a DisplayPort may not function correctly on devices with these drivers,” the software giant explains.

New cumulative updates should land by the end of the month

Microsoft goes on to explain that it’s already working with Intel on resolving the bug, but an ETA isn’t yet available. However, new cumulative updates are believed to be just around the corner for Windows 10 version 1809, though it’s not known if a fix for this issue would be included given it was only recently acknowledged.

“Microsoft is working with Intel to expire these display drivers, including coordinating with OEMs, and will provide an update on the resolution in an upcoming release,” it says.

Windows 10 version 1809 was re-released by Microsoft last week after the company pulled the original build in early October due to a bug potentially causing data loss.

While the new version is supposed to be more refined, the number of problems experienced by updating systems is still worrying, with Microsoft still remaining painfully slow when it comes to shipping fixes for the issues it acknowledges.

Anyone that uses OEM  PC with all that bloatware in them  have way worse problems than just drivers , to pay for the price  of Windows  so they can charge less . See the PC vendors  have to pay  for each copy of windows so they partner software vendors and they get paid for pre installing trial  and demo apps and some of PC vendors apps uses icky services that slow down your PC and are security risk because they call home. 

 

1st thing I do  when I  set up a new PC is wipe  it and  reinstall Windows  . With Windows 10 back when I use to use it i also remove all those mobile apps and the windows store  , there's like a bunch of crap i have to do to set windows 10 up to be usable for me . It just keep getting worse and worse so i stop using it. But my point is if you  clean install windows 10  ever  you would  not had this  problem,  because  its only a problem with some Windows 10 OEM PCs fresh out of  the box,  but  it's  just the start of the problems you will have if you don't clean install it, you most likely will have BSOD and  slowdowns as well.
