PC World warns about the latest gross incompetence from Microsoft. Namely the latest update crashes computers all over the place. Specifically they note:
Last week, Microsoft released an optional Windows 11 update that brought some new features to the Start menu, taskbar, and lock screen. Unfortunately, that update is wreaking havoc for some users. As reported by Windows Latest, after installing Windows update KB5043145, you may not be able to restart your PC as you’ll be hit with the infamous Blue Screen of Death or the less common Green Screen of Death. In some cases, BitLocker recovery may also be triggered. Microsoft has confirmed this as a known issue, stating that all users on Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 22H2 can be affected. As of right now, Microsoft has taken down the update.
This is a continuing process demonstrating in my opinion and my experience gross incompetence and possibly negligence. These problems are pandemic with Microsoft products. Years of lost productivity. Updates lock down my systems for a day at a time. Thus I need several back up systems to work around Microsoft.
Perhaps sometime someone may take action. So beware of updates!
