Hot Take Latest Windows Update Problems and How to Fix Them

[lokamoka820]

Windows 10 and Windows 11 have had their share of problems. According to the Microsoft Security Response Center (MSRC), the operating system experienced 1394 security vulnerabilities in 2024. Microsoft quickly moves in to fix many of these security holes in the system, so it’s essential to stay up to date. Yet, Windows updates can bring their own problems. This guide shows what to do when an update does more harm than good.

Note: if a problem here is marked as “FIXED,” it means Microsoft has rolled out an update that fixes the problem, and the solution is simply to make sure your system is fully updated. If a problem is not yet “FIXED,” then either read that entry for workarounds to that specific problem or scroll down the page for advice on how to roll back updates.

Windows 11 25H2 has been great. I think the problem is the person sitting in front of or using the device.

I have updated my IoT Ent LTSC version (although not supposed to receive any feature updates) to 25H2 with enablement package; the same as 24H2, no added features, no extra bugs.

A neighbour told me a few days ago his lappy I check over from time to time was running slow esp. on shutdown & boot, after determining there was no malware I discovered it was having a problem downloading one of the September KB's - I downloaded it manually, then it was able to update the Net Framework & another update. Seems OK now, I may never find out why? I'll see how it goes on later this month on patch Tuesday 9th.
