The update to patch hardware security issues (I think) bricked my SurfaceRT tablet. Yes, I know, it's ancient and hasn't been supported for quite some time.
Downloading the Windows recovery file isn't much help since the download only creates an empty zip file.
Some reading indicates that the Jan 2018 update to patch hardware security issues has also bricked some computers containing non-Intel chips due to erroneous specs provided to MSFT by the chip manufacturers and MSFT response has been "not our fault your computer is bricked, talk to AMD or the chip manufacturer"
Sure sux that automatic updates can cause such headache but they cannot test every possible combination but a restore option for dummies would have been nice.
