How so? System Restore already automatically reverts to OS to a previous state after blue screens during boot since at least Windows 8, and you could do it manually since at least Windows Vista.
The problem isn’t working around the problem (just rename or delete a single .sys file), it’s that this happened almost exclusively to massive companies with hundreds or thousands of computers. The fix itself takes maybe a minute, the problem is the massive amounts of work this requires to do across tens of thousands of computers.
Luckily, the quick solution seems to be “reboot the computer about 15 times so the automatic update that fixes the bug probably gets applied before the next crash”, but for systems where that doesn’t work, manual intervention is necessary.
BTW, if Windows had been an immutable OS the case would not have been so dire.
If my grandmother had wheels, she would have been a bike.
It’s a different recipe!
