Windows 11 users are frustrated by Microsoft’s sluggishness in fixing some nasty bugs that have been around for a while.
Windows 11 users are experiencing a bunch of issues – many of them ongoing – following the latest update for the OS, according to reports on Reddit.
A new and rather worrying-sounding problem that some folks have experienced was highlighted in the thread on Reddit (opens in new tab) discussing the latest cumulative update for Windows 11 that arrived earlier this week (KB5026372 for Windows 11 22H2).
A Redditor tells us: “This update broke the widget panel again and now it crashes something else; I think I’ll uninstall this update.”
In fact, it can crash Windows 11 completely, as someone else affected by the problem (again on Reddit) points out (opens in new tab): “Opening widgets has become a game of Russian Roulette. Sometimes it works and sometimes it crashes the OS.”
Another user chips in with the former thread, noting they have the exact same gremlin in the works. Nasty indeed, although that said, we’ve seen a potential cure being mentioned (we’ll bring that up when we discuss this in a bit more depth below).
