On September 2, Microsoft released the second incremental update for Windows 8.1. On August 12, the software giant made a new update available for Windows as scheduled, but just a few days later, the company was forced to remove the download links from its website and from Windows Update because users reported that the update was causing BSODs on a small number of PCs (according to the company, only 0.01% of users were affected).
