That's the crazy thing. This config can't ever been booted on a win10/11 machine before it was deployed to the entire world.

Not once, during development of the new rule, or in any sort of testing CS does. Then once again, never booted by MS during whatever verification process they (should) have before signing.

The first win11/10 to execute this code in the way it was intended to be used, was a customer's machine.

Insane.

Possibly the thing that was intended to be deployed was. What got pushed out was 40kB of all zeroes. Could've been corrupted some way down the CI chain.

Which definitely wouldn't have been a single developer's fault.

Developers aren't the ones at fault here.

Not the most at fault, but if you sign off on a shitty process, you are still partially responsible

That depends entirely on the ability to execute change. CTO is the role that should be driving this.
