Windows 10’s latest update packs a nasty bug, and while your system might be safe, it’s vital you check now
- Windows 10's May update contains a bug that can cause installation failure and automatic repair loops, particularly affecting devices with Intel vPro processors.
- Microsoft has released an emergency fix, KB5061768, to address the issue, which must be manually installed.
- To avoid problems, users with Intel vPro chips should pause the May update installation and apply the emergency patch.
- The bug stems from a termination issue with lsass.exe, prompting repeated failed attempts to install the update and potentially leaving users locked out of their PCs.
- For users already impacted, disabling Intel Trusted Execution Technology in the BIOS may resolve the issue, allowing for successful system restart.
- Device Encryption or BitLocker users may need their recovery key to navigate recovery screens caused by the bug.
- Windows 11 users are also advised to be cautious when upgrading, as clean installs automatically apply Device Encryption, which ties encryption recovery keys to Microsoft accounts.
- Deployment of Microsoft's emergency fix and vigilance in applying updates can help avoid potential technical complications and data loss.
