If you have installed the latest batch of Windows 11 updates and can boot into the system properly after installation, congratulations. Reports suggest that the update is causing issues on some systems.
Description:
- Microsoft on Tuesday released cumulative update KB5041585 for Windows 11 version 22H2 and 23H2.
- These updates fix security issues and non-security issues.
- Users affected by this issue say that their system has become very slow due to this update.
- Others say the update won’t install at all.
A Thread There have been reports on Reddit pointing out issues that users are experiencing while installing the latest Windows 11 update on their devices.
Some excerpts:
- “I don’t know what happened with this update but it has completely ruined my laptop. Slow, slow, extremely delayed response time, Minecraft realms don’t even show up and there is no sound on the app at all,” writes Silly_Lawyer_1574.
- “Finally, after waiting for several days, it let me log in, but then nothing was working. Finally after 20 minutes of trying I let it shut down,” said user Spirite_Season2332
- DestinyDecade writes, “For some reason, the update failed to install. I tried again, and it said it would try again. I’m going to restart and see what happens.”
- “The CPU is almost constantly at 100%, everything is very slow, slow, I get frequent timeouts,” Doriman writes.
It goes on like this. It is not clear what is causing this. Users have not posted information about their devices and Microsoft has not yet acknowledged that there is a problem with the update.
A quick feedback hub shows multiple reports about this issue. Two users say it is failing to install, another says it is causing memory shortage errors. There’s not much to go on at this point.
Microsoft did not confirm any new issues when it released the update.
what can you do
If you haven’t installed the new Windows 11 update yet, you should make sure that you create a system backup before installing the cumulative update. This allows you to restore the entire system in case the update causes problems on the device.
I recommend using the free Paragon Backup & Recovery Free, but any backup software with full system backup capabilities will work.
If you’ve already installed the update and are experiencing issues, you can uninstall it and prevent it from being installed again.
See our guide on uninstalling Windows updates for this.
You can also defer the installation of updates and monitor reports Official Releases Health Website for updates.
