Last week, Microsoft released the November monthly update for Windows 11, which fixed a bug that kept Task Manager open in the background but brought new problems with it.
According to a compilation by Windows Latest, these issues include various error messages during update installation as well as problems searching for files stored on file servers or shared network drives.
Here’s what you can do about it
While waiting for Microsoft to resolve the issue, affected users can roll back update KB5068861, but doing so will result in losing the latest security updates. The vulnerabilities patched by the update will be reopened and made available for attackers to exploit.
If you’re having trouble installing update KB5068861 due to errors during the update installation process, you can try installing the update manually via the Microsoft Update Catalog (instead of using Windows Update) or you can use the Media Creation Tool.
Windows 10 update also causing problems
It’s not just Windows 11 users who are struggling with issues caused by the latest update. Windows 10 users are dealing with problems in the first ESU update, which comes in the wake of Windows 10 losing official support in October.
