Windows 11

Just confirming that I have this same issue, but only on 1 of my machines (I have 8 machines in my home network). The machine in question is a Geekom NUC12 Serpent Canyon, with a 12th Gen Intel(R) Core™ i7-12700H 2.30 GHz processor, 32GB Ram, and an Intel Arc A770M GPU. When the problem happened, I rolled the system back (using Veeam’s Bare Metal Recovery) to the last save before the upgrade, since I could find no way to uninstall the update!! Currently it’s running Windows 11 Pro 24H2 Build Number 26100.3037.

I can’t find any reliable information about this problem anywhere, and have no idea what Microsoft plans to do about it (if anything). Hoping Windows Latest can help!

I did forward the reports to Microsoft and haven’t heard back yet. I am not sure if they are aware of the reports, but my understanding is that it might get fixed in February’s optional update, shipping next week.

I suggest pausing updates for now.

Thanx, already paused until early March.

I’ll check the optional updates next week, and try it. I can always go back (even though it takes several hours, sigh).
