Windows 10: Windows 10 October Update KB3105208 Causing BSODs on Some PCs

It seems that for some disabling the secure boot does fix the problem. I had it disabled from the start so this wasn't an issue when I got the update yesterday.

I am receiving PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED error message

After the recent Windows 10 update ( I did not write down the KB # ) on 23rd October, A restart was scheduled. I restarted immediately and then I have started to receive PROCESS1_INITIALIZATION_FAILED message and nothing else on the blue screen. Several
attempts at restarting and repairing processes failed.

I had Windows 10 Build 10565 installed on my desktop computer. Windows 10 was installed on UEFI motherboard with GPT partitioning method. This desktop has fairly new components, such as Asus H97 M/B, Intel i7-4790 CPU, Corsair SSD, AMD Radeon HD6850 PCIe
gfx card, etc. and it was used to run Windows 10 test builds starting from Build 9926.

EDIT: I reinstalled Windows 10 Build 10565 and checked Windows update. My Windows 10 again collapsed after installation of the updates with the same cause "Process1_Initialization_Failed". This time I took down the update KB numbers before Windows 10 went
down. Most probably, the offending update is KB3105208. The other updates that were installed together are KB3106638, KB3105216 ( Flash player update ), Realtek soundboard update, and Windows Defender update.

It seems I will not reinstall Insider build 10565 until a new build is released because it will try to get the offending update and fail again and again.

EDIT2: I installed the Windows updates that made my desktop collapse on my Notebook HP Elitebook 8460p, which has the same Windows 10 Build 10565 as the desktop. The same Windows updates ( except Realtek sound drivers because HP notebook has IDC sound chipset,
not Realtek ) did not cause any problems on my notebook.

EDIT3: After Disabling Secure Boot as per
THiS ARTiCLE, my Windows 10 Build 10565 was able to boot successfully. Now it is fully functional !!!

 

Windows 10 upgrade problem.

The completed scan said "Windows Resource Protection did not find any integrity violations". Also the update you mentioned (KB3105208) was uninstalled, which should have corrected any problems it was causing.

 

I had this problem and after BunnyJ suggesting to turn off Secure Boot it fixed the problem for me.

As of this morning I went back and tried to change the secure boot to enable after the update and it caused the BSOD again and so I then went in and Deleted the update and then I was able to change the Secure Boot to Enable.
I feel now that all is as it was and now waiting for either 10585 or Nov. 2nd when the so called Fall Update is to be released?

The only problem is that if you enable secure boot after you had successfully installed KB3105208 and restarted the PC to Windows, you will get the BSOD again.

I don't seem to have this update installed. I'm currently running build 10568, which it's been working even better than 10565 for me *Smile

I went back and uninstalled KB3105208 then went back in and set the secured boot back to Enabled and all is fine.

Because I experienced the BSOD recently, I went back to 10240. Oh well.

 

Is there any kind of analysis of what computers (brand or whatever) seem to have these types of problems? I have two Dell computers and have never had a problem with an upgrade or update. I did turn off the whole upgrade notice "app" on 2 older Dell computers and 2 Dell tablets because of all the reported problems.

 

My ASUS P8H77-M-PRO based system has also never had any real problems since Oct 2014, including Secure boot with the 5208 update. Would be interesting to know why a few systems escaped the 5208 one. Perhaps MS tested it on my mobo!!

 

If you get a blue screen while using bluetooth to access your blu-ray player to play "Am I Blue" because it's a blue monday, you're on your own. But it only happens once in a blue moon. *Biggrin
