A few days after releasing a new big patch, users are reporting issues with their operating system. While it’s not uncommon for people to report problems after a patch goes live, the recent Windows 10 update has sparked concerns.
One of the major issues reported is a demand for a BitLocker recovery key, which causes the computer to roll back its update once entered. However, this error doesn’t seem widespread, with workplaces reporting an occurrence rate of 2-5%. A system engineer discovered a fix in their workplace’s BIOS to address the issue.
Another concern is that delaying or rolling back the update may not be ideal due to security fixes for zero-day exploits. However, experts suggest that these issues might be due to Windows 10 not finishing the update properly, and once it completes, the problems disappear.
For those affected by the post-patch Tuesday issues, the recommended course of action is to contact Microsoft for assistance. In the meantime, users can consider repurposing their hardware instead of upgrading to Windows 11. Linux distros offer alternative options, as seen in a previous article about jumping to Linux Mint from Windows.
