Microsoft says that devices running Windows 10 2004 or Windows 10 20H2 might crash with blue screens of death when users plug in a Thunderbolt NVMe Solid State Drive.
Windows 10 devices with at least one Thunderbolt NVMe SSD and one Thunderbolt port are the ones impacted by this new known issue.
Microsoft has also added a new compatibility hold to prevent affected devices from being offered Windows 10, version 2004 or Windows 10, version 20H2 upgrades.
Redmond is also currently investigating an issue leading to missing system and user certificates after updating managed Windows 10 systems using outdated installation media via update management tools, physical media, or ISO images.
Windows 10 computers with some Conexant, Synaptics, or Conexant ISST audio drivers are also experiencing issues with the May 2020 and October 2020 Windows 10 updates - both client and server platforms.
