Chapter 1531: A Small Patch

"The answer is already very obvious." After seeing this report, Ma Yun immediately convened a meeting of all the executives of the company's technical department.

Well, in fact, all the technical department executives didn't get off work at all, they spent an all-night in the company, and they were called by Ma Yun for a meeting this morning.

After Ma Yun found out that the problem could come from the outside, although he asked the engineers to stop screening, he did not let them go home from work, but let all the engineers stay in the company.

They can sleep or rest in the company, but they are not allowed to leave so that they can be found in the first place.

This made many engineers very speechless, especially when they later found out that Ma Yun actually didn't give them overtime pay.

However, Ma Yun's order did have an effect, and in just 3 minutes, all the technical executives appeared in the conference room for a meeting.

"The problem appears above the latest update for Windows system!" After distributing the investigation report to all the executives, Ma Yun said, "Although I don't know any technology and can't understand the program, as long as the person who sees this report, even a fool knows that the BUG happened after Windows was updated with the latest version number!" ”

"I'm afraid it's a new system program or patch that has appeared in this update, and there is a conflict with our QQ, which leads to the collapse of QQ!" Ma Yun Road.

"That's right!" Executives nodded their heads, and the results were clear.

"This also explains why we didn't find any problems with our internal computers during the testing process, because our computers were all using a year-old version of Windows 95 and didn't update their latest system, so we couldn't find any problems at all!" An executive suddenly realized.

"In the same way, the reason why Huaxia's problems are so rare is also clear, because the earliest version was updated 5 days ago, and almost all of our Huaxia computers are pirated Windows systems. Once installed, unless you reinstall your computer, you won't update the system at all, and you won't have any problems! Another executive also came to his senses.

After all, the system in this year is not as rogue as in later generations, and without reminding him, he directly updated the system version on his own initiative.

In fact, it is a very troublesome thing to update the system version in these years, because the network speed is too slow, and it is unrealistic to expect to update the system version with one click on the computer.

Only new users who have purchased the latest version of the system will be able to use the latest version of the computer. Or users who have strong computer operation ability, have compulsive compulsion to update versions, or want to experience the latest features, will take the initiative to find Microsoft's official website, download the patch installation package from their website, and then manually update the version of the system.

But even if it is so troublesome, in 5 days, there are 1 million users in the world whose computers have suffered, mainly computers from developed countries in Europe and the United States.

After all, Huaxia's computer systems are pirated, and it is unrealistic to expect them to update the system as soon as possible, only in Europe and the United States, because the computer has been used for a long time, users also know how to update the patch, and at the same time use a genuine system, they will update their computer version to the latest version at the first time.

"The problem has been found, and this is easy to do!" Ma Yun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Trouble all the colleagues in the technology department to work harder, study the latest patch of this system, and then see if this problem is solved, and at the same time directly send a message to all users and ask them to manually update our latest version!" ”

Well, these days the program basically doesn't have an automatic update function, and you need to manually update the latest version.

"I still have to work overtime!" Everyone in the technical department showed a helpless expression, but compared with the previous blind and aimless search for bugs, now they already know what the problem is, as long as the problem is solved, they can go home and rest.

So, after the meeting, everyone in the technical department was extremely enthusiastic, and began to unpack Microsoft's update, and at the same time conducted various experiments, and finally they found that this time Microsoft's update package, a small patch was added.

This patch looks very normal, the memo says, their purpose is to strengthen the stability of the system and the new patch, the engineers studied the operation strategy of this patch, and found that this is a program that detects software calling system resources, and then directly closes some software and programs that illegally occupy network and system resources, so as to maintain network stability.

Many of the designs of this patch correspond to the running logic of QQ, so QQ has become a malware that destroys the stability of the system, and finally it is closed directly from the background.

Because this patch has extremely high system privileges, it is very clean to close QQ, and it is closed in the blink of an eye.

In this way, the puzzle is solved, it turns out that the software crash caused by the system update, although this situation is rare, but it is not unprecedented, but Ma Yun and Ali have encountered such a problem for the first time, and they have no experience.

"How can this problem be solved?" It was the afternoon of the second day, and Ma Yun hadn't slept for 30 hours, but he was still very energetic.

"Normally, we have to report to Microsoft, point out the problem, and then wait for Microsoft's next update to fix the bug!" Main pipe.

"Then wait until the Year of the Monkey! Is there a way to modify our software a bit to get past this issue? Ma Yun shook his head, Microsoft's system update, it's hard to meet once a month, sometimes there is only a system-level update once every six months, counting on Microsoft to fix the problem for you, the daylily is cold.

"Yes, but it's very troublesome, because this patch is from the aspect of system resource mobilization, so if we want to avoid this patch, we need to re-architect our software infrastructure!"

"This change is so huge that I almost have to rewrite most of the QQ, which is not a job that can be completed in a day or two, and it will take at least fifteen days!" The supervisor said, "And 15 days is just development time, we don't have time to do stability operation testing, there will definitely be a lot of new bugs at that time, and all kinds of tests are needed, which consumes a lot of time, at least more than a month!" ”

"So troublesome!" Ma Yun frowned, he was not afraid of trouble, after all, this is what programmers do, but he can't afford to delay this time, a month later, I'm afraid there will be at least 2 million users lost!
