New Update Windows 11 Patch Tuesday February 2025 (KB5051987, KB5051989)

I'm having the bug where the drivers for Intel Wi-Fi adapters just stop working. Last patch it required a repair install to fix... Let's see how bad it will be this time.

I'm so tired of Microsoft's bullshit.

Come over to Linux ! And updates takes only 5 mins tops.

The DISM/sfc command combo seems to have solved the Wi-fi driver crashes this time. I'd love to know if it's an Intel or Microsoft problem.

I would if I wasn't lazy to learn it. Beside, no need for switch when there's LTSC version.

OK I don't even know where to start. I have a Clean Install BU Image made with Macrium. I've been using it for 5 months. Never had any problems.
Over the last 5 months, I've been trying new software just for fun, always start with the clean image.

Then about 7 days ago. I restore the image, and try out Avast. Few hours later I get my first blue screen ever.

I restore the clean install, and the next day I try bitdefender free, and some apps stop working.

Next day I restore the image and try Eset, and windows update gives me this message about "Something didn't go as planned". Tried 4 times.

So I restore the image again, try the update with just the image BU and nothing else, and the update installs, no problems at all. No blue screens, no apps, not working, updates installed.

What the heck is going on with other security software being installed on Win 11?

After restoring the Macrium image, do a Windows Update first. Then try installing the security product.

That's a good idea
