Again our nemesis at Microsoft is crashing millions of computers destroying billions of hours of human productivity. As PC World notes:
Microsoft is having a bad month. Not long after the Windows 11 24H2 update began rolling out, the issues have just been piling on. At first it was drivers crashing PCs and mouse cursors disappearing. Then it was tons of undeletable data left behind after updating. Some users are even running into dead internet connections and network issues. Then came Patch Tuesday on October 8, where we got two updates that primarily address security vulnerabilities: update KB5044284 for users on Windows 11 24H2 and update KB5044285 for users on older versions Windows 11 23H2 and Windows 11 22H2. Some users are also reporting that Windows Update gets stuck in the update process at 40 percent, while others say that their updates get stuck somewhere between 90 and 95 percent. After waiting several minutes without progress, Windows undoes the update and try again.
When will this stop! Have they no shame?
