Microsoft has pushed out another emergency update for Windows 11 after its latest monthly patch caused unexpected app crashes and system issues for users. What was meant to be a routine January security update quickly turned into a problem, with reports piling up about apps freezing, Outlook breaking, and cloud-synced files refusing to behave.
Some of the problems were serious enough that Microsoft even advised certain users to uninstall the update altogether. Now, Microsoft has stepped in again with a second out-of-band update, aiming to finally steady the ship.
