Windows 10 Warning: Anger At Microsoft Rises With Serious New Failure

The headline takeaway is that this update can do serious problems. Windows Latest reports that the worst affected users are seeing not just ‘Blue Screen of Death’ crashes, but have had trouble restarting their computers after it installed.
“My machine bricked all night and I had to unplug and roll back. Finally, after about 30 minutes it uninstalled and I could go to Settings and pause updates for a month. This is happening way too often.” - source.
Others have complained about significant performance issues, including 95% memory consumption and 100% hard disk utilization just after rebooting. While the recent nightmare of Windows 10 internet connectivity problems has returned for some upgraders, with broken Ethernet connections and apps failing to go online.
At the time of publication, Microsoft has used the official KB4541335 update page to warn users the update can cause connectivity problems for VPNs. This is a familiar issue, but there is no acknowledgement of the other problems users are having.
The good news, for now, is KB4541335 remains an optional update so don’t proactively look to upgrade your Windows 10 installation at this time. For those who have installed KB4541335 and are experiencing problems, you can uninstall with the following steps:
- Start Menu > Settings > Update & Security > View update history > Uninstall updates
- Search for KB4541335
- Right-click/double click it to open the uninstall option
Yes, as predicted, here we are again. Microsoft recently talked a good game about its plans to improve Windows 10 upgrades. But now the time for talking has stopped.
