Microsoft Resolves Windows 11 Update Issue Affecting Business Users

15 Jul 2024

Microsoft has addressed an update problem in Windows 11 that occurred in client platforms deployed to connect different business users as endpoints for rapid feature and application deployment. The issue, which caused significant disruptions, has been met with a proactive solution from the tech giant.

Manually Installing Solution

The solution is the use of Known Issue Rollback (KIR). Introduced in 2021, this functionality allows Microsoft users to quickly address bugs that are not security-related. Users must manually run this feature, for which the written-out process is described in this blog. The Group Policy download required to implement a KIR can be found here.

In addition, the company says it is working on a patch, which will be packaged in a future Windows update. “Once the update with the fix is released, organizations will no longer need to install and configure this group policy to resolve this issue,” Microsoft stated.

Recent Update Didn’t Go Well Either

Microsoft recently intervened more extremely in a Windows 11 update by withdrawing the update entirely. This update caused problems that affected the functionality of the operating system. Namely, the system could enter a loop in which Windows kept rebooting, while for others the taskbar disappeared.

As businesses continue to rely on Windows 11 for their day-to-day operations, these updates and fixes are crucial for maintaining seamless functionality and user satisfaction. Microsoft's swift action in addressing these issues demonstrates their commitment to providing reliable and efficient solutions for their clients.
