Previously, some users in foreign countries reported that various problems appeared following upgrading to the May KB5026372 version of Windows 11. I thought it might be a case (following all, the problems are not the same), but Microsoft has recently targeted Windows 8. The first confirmation is caused by the upgrade, which means that if you haven’t updated yet, this time KB5026372 is really recommended to skip it first, and wait for the next version to come out before updating, especially for computers used for work.
Microsoft confirms 8 problems caused by Windows 11’s latest May update, which is a bit exaggerated
According to reports from foreign media Windows Latest, there are many vulnerabilities in Windows 11 recently, causing many users to feel inconvenient to use. For this reason, Microsoft has determined that in the latest update version of Windows 11 KB5026372 (that is, the latest update in May), there are 8 Identify the problems that might be caused, including:
- L2TP/IPsec VPN Speed Issues Caused by Certain Updates
- System crashes and performance slows down
- Broken gray and black boxes in Windows Security, also issues with TPM detection and core isolation settings
- NVMe SSD slows down
- Update installation failed
- Razer Control Panel keeps popping up
- Game-induced blue screens and crashes
- BitLocker recovery tips and questions
The report did not mention whether Microsoft has found a fix and when a new update will be rolled out. It is only known that Microsoft has begun to investigate the VPN problems encountered by many people following the Windows 11 May 2023 update. Come the next few weeks.
In addition, these problems do not seem to be encountered by every user, so if you have updated but do not have the 8 conditions mentioned above, you can use it with confidence. For those who have encountered it, there seems to be no simple solution at present, only to remove the KB5026372 update, or wait for Microsoft to launch a new update.
Generally speaking, these problems will not have much impact on general users, but the user experience will be worse, and it may be more serious for enterprises. According to reports, several companies reported that hundreds of customers’ L2TP/IPsec connections were interrupted. In some cases, someone’s VPN speed dropped from 16 MB/s to zero, and the connection time increased from a few seconds to 20-30 seconds. Someone suggested that the following script can be run to temporarily solve the VPN problem:
Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Force
Install-Module -Name PSWindowsUpdate -Confirm:$False
Import-Module -Name PSWindowsUpdate -Force$
BadUpdateList = “KB5026372”
Remove-WindowsUpdate -KBArticleID $BadUpdateList -IgnoreReboot#REBOOT AFTER UNINSTALL, AND BEFORE HIDING
BadUpdateList = “KB5026372”
Hide-WindowsUpdate -KBArticleID $BadUpdateList -confirm:$false
The KB5026372 update contains a lot of performance and security fixes. Normally, it should be updated as soon as possible, but I didn’t expect it to cause many other problems. It seems that even if there is an update version with more security in the future, it still needs to be updated. Slowly compare the insurance first, and then decide whether to update following seeing if there is any disaster.
