Can’t securely login to your PC using facial recognition anymore? New Windows 11 update patch is likely to blame – if you can install the update at all

Windows 11 24H2’s latest patch (KB5055523) is causing trouble with failures to install and issues with Windows Hello logins, particularly affecting users with privacy shutters over webcams.
The April update interferes with the infrared sensor used for facial recognition, requiring users to open privacy shutters for login to work properly.
Users with webcams like Logitech Brio 4K reported the issue with Windows Hello recognition post-update.
Some potential workaround involves disabling the RGB/color camera in Device Manager to get Windows Hello working again for some users.
Microsoft acknowledges a Windows Hello issue in the April update but mentions it only affects specific security features on Windows 11 Pro, not Windows 11 Home users.
Apart from Windows Hello problems, the April update is also causing installation failures with obscure error messages like '0x80070306' and stuck progress bars.
Reports of installation failures have led Microsoft to investigate the issue, while possible solutions have been suggested but not proven universally effective.
Windows 11 24H2 has been plagued with various odd bugs since its inception, including language display mix-ups, accidental deletions of apps like Copilot, and File Explorer menu glitches.
The transition to a new underlying platform for Windows 11 24H2 may be attributing to these bizarre bugs, highlighting the need for more stable updates from Microsoft.
The recent Windows 11 bugs have ranged from language display errors to accidental app deletions, emphasizing the need for more rigorously tested updates to ensure user experience.
Microsoft has faced challenges in maintaining Windows 11 stability, with bugs impacting critical functions like language settings, app installations, and basic interface elements like File Explorer menus.
