Windows Bug Update: A swift resolution to previous misinformation
Earlier this year, a bug affecting Windows operating systems made headlines and caused some concern among PC users. This bug affected the Start menu, Windows Search, and UWP applications on PCs running Windows 10 and Windows 11. Although the problem could be frustrating for users, certain websites have overstated the issue.
One particular article with a clickbait title wrongly presented the bug as an extraordinary issue. After the initial appearance, the article claimed that “Windows 11 is so broken that even Microsoft can’t fix it,” and also said that “Microsoft admits there are Windows 11 problems it just can’t fix.” However, these statements were not close to the truth. Microsoft promptly acknowledged the bug, and also provided a temporary workaround, while actively started working on a permanent solution. The bug has now been marked as “Resolved” on Microsoft’s official website.
The permanent fix for this bug is now included in the KB5027303 update, which updates systems to Windows 11 build 22621.1928. And while the update is still in the preview phase, it is expected to roll out to all PCs next month as part of the regular Patch Tuesday update.
If you would rather install the patch immediately, you have the option to install the optional Windows Update through the Settings app on your PC. However, it would be smart to wait until this update is officially released next month, as preview updates could still contain some bugs.
