So you work in IT.... I assume then that you have Win Pro or Enterprise.... Why didn't you guys test the update on 1 machine before rolling out updates to everyone? Once you got one blue screen, did anyone think to NOT update the rest?
We tested several systems, I don't recall saying that the updates fail on every machine. I also don't recall saying that we were rolling out updates to everyone. You seem to have all the facts though. I guess it's acceptable that all organizations must have their own QA department to thoroughly test each and every Windows update that's released. Spend a few minutes to research and you'll find that this update has some serious issues that go beyond machines with Intel SSD's installed.

My wife's Win 10 PC just won't play any sound after the most recent update.
Edit: Tried to update the sound driver but no go.
Rolled back to previous build and everything's fine again...
SSD used is Kingston.

The only "fact" I'm concerned about is your use of the word "disaster".... I don't think you really understand the meaning of that word...
From dictionary.com --> Disaster: a calamitous event, especially one occurring suddenly and causing great loss of life, damage, or hardship, as a flood, airplane crash, or business failure.
Now, we can look to see if this is a business failure... it isn't! MS is losing no business from this... it's not a disaster... Windows Vista might be categorized as a disaster... maybe Windows 8....
And for the record, any company with an IT department ought to be responsible for testing any OS updates before they roll them out to the masses...

So Windows is apparently downloading the same update after I reverted to the previous build.
They even asked for the reason you are reverting yet automatically downloads the broken build afterwards.
Makes no sense..

This problem is also affecting Intel 535 Series! Latest update is causing problems. Its also affecting the Linux partition also. Removing this crap! going back to Windows 7!

Or set Windows 10 to defer updates and make sure you do a bit of research before you blindly update... But hey, your choice...

If you have the Home Premium, or any other version of Windows 7, this all seems funny, but only in the most tragic and ironic sort of way, of course.
