[QUOTE="SpiderWeb, post: 1093987, member: 88686"] In an ideal world where Windows is a competent operating system, it would attempt to automatically reboot with that one system driver disabled and report that the driver has failed to the end user or management console. No 3rd party software should ever be able to brick an entire computer but here we are. I wonder if they fixed this already since Windows 11 devices were unaffected. Kernel space needs to be isolated and only Microsoft signed system services should be allowed to run. Apple already solved this years ago and kicked all AVs out of the kernel space and it has actually made the OS more secure not less. See the system privileges that AVs use are also the most glaring vulnerabilities in Windows, a literal backdoor into the computer that is only open because AV Vendors have been lobbying Microsoft to keep it there and now it soft bricked 8.5 million Windows machines.
