Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 preview, KB5043145, is causing significant problems for users. The update, released last week as a preview for the upcoming October Patch Tuesday, has led to numerous stability issues and complaints.
I think Microsoft has been using copilot a bit too much 😹
Weird, I haven’t been experiencing any of this. Am I still at risk of running into this issue if I haven’t seen it so far? I don’t use this shit-ass OS, if that helps.
If you’re using Windows you’re definitely at risk by virtue of being a fucking loser.
Yup I’m a loser for having a job with computers, big-time.
This is so fucking annoying.
All week we’ve had issues with users using Outlook only to discover today that it’s due to a faulty update on Microsoft’s part and they haven’t released a fix for it so we need to revert.
I’m getting realllllllly tired of having to fix Microsoft’s mistakes and be their beta testers while we pay for that privilege. And this is all with them offering a program for users to be actual beta testers. Their stable channel is riddled with bugs too.
People need to quit putting up with this.
I’m personally moving away from it and wish my job would follow suit instead of rewarding them with more business.
Im not a Microsoft fan either, but this is a completely optional preview update. The reason they send these out before officially releasing it is to find these exact issues.
Mate I’m hearing this for decades now. It has improved though, open source is apparently not a cancer anymore

Lemme sum that up for you:
Latest Windows 11 preview update is causing widespread system crashes and failures
Who is even installing preview updates? Why?
Only way I could get a bunch of drivers for my new laptop. Had no Webcam, no sound and only limited TouchPad functionality until I installed a preview version
Why? Doesn’t the laptop come with working hardware?
Just get the drivers from manufacturers website. What laptop is it?
Is this different that usual for Windows?
I wouldn’t know…
So all of the computers at my work, which were switched from W10 to W11 within the last month, might crash on Tuesday? Sick.
I doubt your IT department is installing preview updates in your production environment.
The event on Tuesday will not be the preview, will it?
Careful this might strike the crowd

Can anyone remember a Microsoft update in the last few years that wasn’t causing crashes and failures?

Yeah. Windows XP SP2 was a more reliable OS than SP1

Are you referring to the pinnacle of human existence?

Like, most of them? It’s an experimental channel and the amount of overall updates dwarfs those that do the funny, yadda-yadda. The funnier thing though is they have a total grip on everything, all resources and brains, dedicated testers, and therefore have no reason to fail at all. Yet, the stability of Windows is worse than on popular Linux distros even when it doesn’t BSOD.

That whole company will go the way of Intel. Poor leadership and greed.
