Windows 10 22H2: Buggy Update Causes Issues for Users

Microsoft has recently confirmed that it sent out a buggy update to both Windows 11 22H2 and Windows 10 22H2, causing issues for users. The update in question is KB5012170, which was originally intended for Windows 11 and Windows 10 users running the 21H2 release.

Initially, users noticed that the update would force BitLocker into recovery mode, prompting Microsoft to offer a workaround. However, the problem persisted, and another issue arose within the same KB5012170 package just a couple of weeks later. To address this issue, Microsoft advised users to update their UEFI, but this fix had an unintended consequence – it would not install, displaying the error code '0x800f0922'.

Unfortunately, this fix has also been causing issues for some users, leading Microsoft to admit that they accidentally sent out a buggy patch to the wrong Windows users. The cumulative update included a fix for a Secure Boot DBX GRUB vulnerability (KB5012170), but it appears that the update was not thoroughly tested before being distributed.

New listings of updates are also available on the support page for the update. It is essential for users to stay informed about any updates and their potential impact on their system's performance.

In conclusion, Microsoft's buggy update has caused inconvenience for many Windows 10 22H2 users, and it is crucial that they remain vigilant when installing future updates to ensure a smooth user experience.
