Quote:Microsoft has pulled an AMD driver from Windows Update after numerous people reported that it prevents Windows 10 from starting and displays an "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE" error.
When hardware manufacturers release new drivers for Windows 10, they get added to the Windows Update as an optional driver update that users can install.
For the past week, Windows Update has been pushing a new driver titled 'Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. - SCSIAdapter - 9.3.0.221' to users of AMD-compatible motherboards.
Numerous users are reporting [1, 2, 3, 4] that when they install this driver, they are prompted to restart Windows 10 and are greeted with a Blue Screen of Death crash (BSOD) displaying an error stating that the PC has an "INACCESSIBLE BOOT DEVICE."
"Aorus Elite Master / 5800x owner, just rebooted got the same BSOD / BIOS issue as everyone else from the Win10 update from today, how do I remove that driver from Windows? ( I'm actually in safe mode )," an affected Windows 10 user posted to Reddit.
Reports of this issue are also found in the Windows 10 Feedback Hub, where users are complaining of the same errors.
