KB5077181 was released about a month ago as part of the February Patch Tuesday rollout. When the update first arrived, users reported a wide range of problems, including boot loops, login errors, and installation issues.

Microsoft has now acknowledged another problem linked to the same update. Some affected users see the message “C:\ is not accessible – Access denied” when trying to open the system drive.

ffs how can at this much further into Windows cycle, and we still have shit like this? I mean the main drive is the most important one, I can understand if this happens to Win 1 or 2 but after soo many iterations? Just no.

Hopefully this doesn't give Microslop executives the idea of turning it into a feature to force their users to save their files onto OneDrive

Solution: install linux

Just like I have been calling macOS "NonfreeBSD" I will now be calling Windows 11 "Slop_OS"

This should be yet another opportunity for Windows refugees to come to the Kingdom of Torvalds.

I'm sick of it. I had 4 different problems with it this year at work. And we are paying them money for it....

Some slop for you.

Some slop for you.

Some slop for you.

Anyone else want slop?

Hmm.. I should start updating my work computer since the "IT" got upgraded my pc to 11 to fix a problem that wasn't fixed with the upgrade.

Clearly the fix is boot in Linux

Microsoft is pretty bad at a lot if things, but you have to hand it to them... They are great at making Linux commercials

It's a feature.

Has the prediction market latched onto offering a line on Patch Tuesday yet?

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

they are planning to roll out MS 12 eventually which is fully AI slop.

You mean Windows 12?

Calling it that won't be funny until 13 comes out.

[–] fatalicus@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

So probably not a Microsoft issue, but a Samsung issue, since Samsung share is the culprit?

[–] GreenBeanMachine@lemmy.world 8 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

Huh?

  • You buy a laptop and it works wonderfully and perfectly.
  • Microslop pushes a sloppy update.
  • Your laptop stops working.

Who's fault is it?
