    Totally agree. I can confirm that all my machines had T-S WMC 8.8.1 from the mydigitallife forum on them. I have deleted the relevant keys and made a restore point. Into that dark night I go. Maybe I will take one for the team.......maybe it will all be OK. See you on the other side of the update. Fingers crossed.

    :)
    I just came out the other side unscathed, SecondSight! Of course I don't use Windows Media Center, but I know folks who do.

    Indeed. I should really stop using it but I like it. I have recently been trying to wean myself off it with SichboPVR which works really well.

    I wonder what will happen now it is patch Tuesday. Maybe it will not install because of my Windows Movie Maker or blue screen on me because I made my machines able to still read legacy hlp files.

    Well, you do have a backup, right? With either free or paid Macrium Reflect, right?

    BTW, I see you use Windows Movie Maker; I'm not up to speed with making videos, but Shareware on Sale has Cyberlink's Power Director 16 available free for the next 20 days. https://sharewareonsale.com/s/cyberl...rdirector-sale

    Power Director is what Kari uses for his video tutorials and it does a great job.

    If I hadn't, I would not have joined and participated, obviously.

    Still, you ignored the question I raised: How mere font can trip the OS - especially if said font comes from the OS's manufacturer?

    ...or perhaps it's not a good thing to run obsolete and dated software on apparently modern OS any more? As manufacturer seems implying over the last few years with various degree of success either?
    But then that would be at odds with your above comment, trying to run whatever software just for the sake of it instead of moving on (whatever that means, obviously).

    ...or perhaps I will discover one day another font file sometime from the '90s (CorelDraw! 5.0 had quite a few good ones, I remember) that will do to this OS the same?

    ...or perhaps it boils down to the fact that said OS manufacturer does not really follow their own specifications any more?

    ...or perhaps various code bases used in said OS got intermingled so badly that nobody knows the new from old any more? And cannot be credibly tested and/or debugged? See this as a yardstick:

    Microsoft Appears to Have Lost the Source Code of an Office Component

    ...or perhaps this new modern OS remains too sensitive and (by the same token) is not very stable still?

    Who is ready for today's Microsoft update splash? I sincerely hope they've fixed the reported BSOD caused by some fonts in the registry, or addressed the other five open issues for that matter, in this weeks update. I am not going to be happy if I see a sad face screen upon updating, especially since it will be auto-pushed to everyone today.

    Still a lot of time but I'm starting my usual routine when update is expected. System checks and cleaning, checking for updates for APPs and important programs, security checks followed by full system backup.

    I am ready, Faith! 27 backups on 13 separate external SSDs (twice), and one to the Cloudy Thingie. My biggest issue will be finding the one that works!

    Of course I did. As shown in your quote below, there's no information at all on fonts. I don't try to answer something if I there's not enough information to go on, so I left it be.

    Putting aside if it's wise to use WMC as it's a bit dated, I think...? How mere font can trip the OS - especially if said font comes from the OS's manufacturer?
    You did identify Windows Media Center and I could answer to that, so I responded.

    Again, there's no identifying information for me to respond to.

    I was speaking to one particular app, i.e. Windows Media Center.

    The article you reference seems to have been published November 18, 2017. It may (or may not) have been relevant then, but is it relevant today? I've found I must be very careful when researching a problem on the Internet. It seems nothing ever gets "outdated".

    Sorry, but I cannot respond to a lot of your post because I don't have enough information to respond intelligently.

    I still can believe that after over 20 years, BSOD still exits. Can't they figure out a more graceful approach?

    If you are an insider they have a "green" version.
