The latest Windows 11 updates released by Microsoft have triggered serious reactions among users. Following the company's KB5044284 and KB5046617 updates, the December 2024 Patch (KB5048685) has brought a host of different issues. These problems cover a wide range, from system errors occurring after the update to installation failures.
WHY IS THE START MENU NOT WORKING?
The latest update (KB5048685) causes the Start menu to freeze, particularly for users utilizing virtual desktop infrastructure (VDI) on Windows 11 versions 22H2 and 23H2.
Microsoft has published a support article (CTX692398) to address this issue.
Symptoms of the issue:
- The Start menu does not respond in VDI sessions after the update.
- Error Code: TPV-6122
WHY ARE UPDATE INSTALLATIONS GETTING STUCK?
Users are encountering issues where updates get stuck at the 60-70% mark during installation. This situation prevents the update from completing and causes stability issues on devices.
Microsoft has provided a recovery guide for failed updates. However, this guide may not yield effective results for all users.
HAVE THESE ISSUES OCCURRED BEFORE?
Windows 11 version 24H2 had previously made headlines with numerous issues. However, the December 2024 Patch has further worsened the user experience by adding new problems on top of previous ones.
