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.

Let's not pretend that Microslop is capable of producing good software.

I don't know about that, XP, 2000 and 7 was pretty solid.

[–] jaybone@lemmy.zip 2 points 2 hours ago

XP was probably their most solid OS. And that shouldn’t be a brag.

[–] Steve@startrek.website 16 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

That was Microsoft. Microslop lacks that ability.

Fair point!

Not gonna mention Windows 8? Hmm I wonder why...

[–] socphoenix@lemmy.world 7 points 5 hours ago (1 children)

Or vista lol, or windows 98 that was so bad they essentially recalled it and re-released it as a second version?

Everyone forgets MILENNIUM!

Because of the trauma.

[–] stoy@lemmy.zip 2 points 4 hours ago

Because it was shit.

I never claimed that everything MS did was good
