"The answer is already very obvious." After seeing this report, Ma Yun immediately called for a meeting with all the executives of the technical department in the company.
Well, in fact, all the executives of the technical department didn't get off work at all. They stayed in the company all night and were called for a meeting by Ma Yun this morning.
After Ma Yun found that the problem could be external, although he asked the engineers to stop the screening, he didn't let them get off work and go home. Instead, he let all the engineers stay in the company.
They could sleep or rest in the company, but they were not allowed to leave so that they could be found immediately.
This made many engineers very speechless, especially when they later found out that Ma Yun didn't give them overtime pay.
However, Ma Yun's order was indeed effective. In just three minutes, all the executives of the technical department appeared in the conference room for a meeting.
"The problem is in the latest update of the Windows system!" After Ma Yun distributed the investigation report to all the executives, he said, "Although I don't know any technology, and I don't understand the program, as long as people see this report, even a fool knows that the bug occurred after the latest version of Windows was updated!"
"I'm afraid that there is some new system program or patch in this update that conflicts with our QQ, causing QQ to crash!" Ma Yun said.
"That's right!" The executives nodded. The result was obvious.
"This can also explain why our company's internal computers didn't find any problems in the process of testing. Because our computers are all using the Windows 95 version from a year ago, they didn't update their latest system, so they couldn't find any problems at all!" An executive suddenly realized.
"Similarly, the reason why Hua Xia's problem is very little is also clear. Because the earliest version was updated five days ago, almost all of our Hua Xia computers are pirated Windows systems. Once installed, unless the computer is reinstalled, the system won't be updated at all. Naturally, there won't be any problems! "Another executive also suddenly realized.
After all, the system in this day and age was not as rogue as the future. It didn't even give a reminder and directly updated the system version.
In fact, it was very troublesome to update the system version in this day and age. Because the network speed was too slow, it was unrealistic to expect the system version to be updated with a click of a button on the computer.
Only new users who bought the latest version of the system could use the latest version of the computer. Users who were good at operating computers and had obsessive-compulsive disorder when it came to version updates, or users who wanted to experience the latest features would take the initiative to find Microsoft's official website, download the patch installation package from their website, and manually update the system version.
Even if it was so troublesome, in five days, one million computers around the world were affected. Most of them were computers from developed countries in Europe and the United States.
After all, Hua Xia's computer systems were all pirated. It was unrealistic to expect them to update their systems immediately. Only in Europe and the United States, because the computers had been used for a longer time, users also knew how to update patches. At the same time, they were also using the original system. That was why they would update their computer versions to the latest version immediately.
"Now that we've found the problem, it's easy to handle!" Ma Yun heaved a sigh of relief and said, "My colleagues in the technical department, please work harder and study the latest patch of the system. Then, see if you can solve this problem. At the same time, directly send messages to all users and ask them to manually update our latest version!"
Well, in this day and age, there was basically no automatic update function for programs. They all needed to be manually updated to the latest version.
"We still need to work overtime!" Everyone in the technical department had a helpless expression. But compared to blindly looking for bugs in the past, they now know where 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 very enthusiastic. They started to unpack Microsoft's update package and carried out various experiments. In the end, they found out that there was a new patch in Microsoft's update package.
This patch looks normal, and it was written in the memo that their purpose was to increase the system's stability. The engineers studied the operation strategy of this patch and found out that this patch is a program that detects software that uses system resources. This program will shut down any software or programs that use network and system resources illegally to maintain network stability.
Many of the designs of this patch are compatible with QQ's operating logic. So, QQ becomes a malicious software that destroys the system's stability. In the end, it is shut down from the backend.
Because this patch had extremely high system privileges, it was very easy to shut down QQ. In the blink of an eye, it was closed.
The mystery is solved. The system update caused the software to crash. Although this is rare, it has happened before. It's just that this is the first time Ma Yun and Ali encountered this problem, and they are inexperienced.
"How do we solve this problem?" It's the afternoon of the second day, and Ma Yun had not slept for 30 hours. But he is still very energetic.
"Normally, we will report this problem to Microsoft and wait for Microsoft to fix this bug in their next update!" The main channel said.
"Then we will have to wait for god knows when! Is there any way to modify our software to bypass this problem? " Ma Yun shook his head. Microsoft's system update is rare. Sometimes, there will only be one system update every six months. It's too late to expect Microsoft to fix the system's problems.
"Yes, but it is very troublesome. This patch checks us from the system's resource allocation. So, if we want to avoid this patch, we will have to restructure our software's infrastructure!"
"This change is too big. We will have to rewrite almost half of QQ. This is not something that can be done in one or two days. It will take at least 15 days!" The supervisor said. "And 15 days is only for development. We don't have time to do a stable operation test. There will be many new bugs by then, and we will have to do all kinds of testing. This will take a lot of time. It will take at least a month!"
"So troublesome!" Ma Yun frowned. He is not afraid of trouble. After all, this is the work of the programmers. But he can't afford to delay this. After a month, at least two million users will be lost!
