Just a few days ago we talked to you on Microsoft Patch Tuesday, about the new updates released for Windows 10 . These referred to the most recent versions of the system, and as usual, we are beginning to see bugs with them.
In particular, we mean that after downloading the Windows 10 updates KB4579311 and KB4577671, some users have experienced problems. You’re finding that these patches cause a wide range of problems, including system crashes or a never-ending installation loop. This has happened since last Patch Tuesday, when the firm released the October cumulative updates for Windows 10. These arrived for various versions, including 2004, 1909 and version 1903 .
Multiple bugs occur in the latest Windows 10 patches
Say that the two mentioned updates were sent, KB4579311 for version 2004 and KB4577671 for version 1909 / 1903. The first one fixes the vulnerabilities of the operating system and the problems of network connectivity. But just like the September patch, it took little time for users to report installation problems, system crashes, and other bugs.
In fact users of the Microsoft community forum, in addition to Reddit, are reporting several problems after installing patches KB4579311 and KB4577671 . It is talking about various error codes such as 0x8007000d, ox800f0988, 0x800f0831, 0x80073701, 0x80070002 or 0x800f081f. On the other hand, KB4577671 for Windows version 1909 and 1903 is also failing with the mentioned errors. These are the most common error codes reported by users. These generally relate to files that are missing from Windows Update, WinSXS, and other components responsible for processing updates.
Unfortunately the trick of downloading the update manually from the Microsoft catalog no longer works. Therefore , Windows 10 installation problems have become common in Windows Update.
Blue Screenshots of Death and Other Errors in Windows 10
So, for now, the best we can do is pause the updates for a while until Microsoft releases the necessary fixes for the bugs in these patches. As you know, this is something that we can carry out from Settings / Update and security / Windows Update.
Also be aware that the KB4579311 patch is in turn damaging the performance of the screen for some users. These report an issue where the screen turns blue or black. Added to this are system crashes, blue screen of death, and audio issues. All this can occur after installing the aforementioned security patches.
Microsoft works to improve Windows updates
Changing third, we will tell you that Microsoft is also preparing for an update that will come with important corrections . These refer to a bug that users have been reporting for over a year. It focuses on some Windows 10 computers having been working very poorly when installing updates from Windows Update. In some cases these get stuck in an install loop , which is a problem.
Now Microsoft has confirmed that they are aware of the error and it has been observed that it may be given with the Intel drivers. Thus, users receive a message informing about all this, hence the loop in which it enters. In addition, the Windows Update error also try to lower the quality of drivers even more current and better graphics taking drivers.
Therefore, the firm prepares an update in its development channel so that this error is no longer displayed in the future. What is clear to us is how many devices are affected by this error, although it is quite common. At the moment the best solution is to eliminate the existing drivers and use the basic ones from Microsoft, and then install the available update using Windows Update.
