Does windows not have any reliable filesystem snapshot capabilities? Because as soon as I learned about this whole thing my first thought was just that it would be easy to fix just rollback to the snapshot before the update
Wait did they not stop serving the broken release to clients even after they realized the problem? I guess I wouldn’t be surprised but wow that’s worse than I expected
The fault was a driver, so if the faulty driver loaded at boot the machine would bsod again. If the machine got network before the driver loaded there was a chance that it could download and install the fixed driver

Hard to roll back when you’re stuck in a boot loop
Not to mention the patch being applied was being applied at boot, so rollback > patch > crash; repeat

Not if you can boot from an old snapshot like BTRFS and ZFS can
