On Windows 10 too, the March update poses some problems…

Unsurprisingly, the March cumulative update brought as many fixes as problems to Windows 10.

Yet much less generous than that devoted to Windows 11 22H2, itself riddled with problems, the update of its big brother was unfortunately not spared…

Cumulative Issues Update

Rolled out last Tuesday, the March Cumulative Update for Windows 11 22H2, 21H2 and Windows 10 has, for once, been accompanied by several issues. Unlike optional updates, these are unfortunately mandatory.

Thus, if we deplore installation problems or SSD slowdowns on Windows 11, Windows 10 has not slipped through the cracks of bugs either. Some users have thus reported performance problems, the famous blue screens and other more material concerns.

In fortunately small-scale cases, the March Cumulative Update did indeed cause a few Windows 10 devices to increase fan speeds. So much so that it would have even caused cases of overheating.

How to avoid problems caused by the update

Even though the monthly cumulative update is mandatory, it is fortunately possible to uninstall it, in the event that such problems have been encountered after its installation.

To do this, just follow these steps:

• Go to Settings, Update and Security, then Windows Update;
• Click on “View update history”;
• Click on “Uninstall updates”;
• Find in the drop-down list “KB5023696” and select it to uninstall it;
• Restart the device.

It’s also best to set Windows Update to not automatically install cumulative updates when they’re deployed. The regulars have certainly already applied this precaution, as the bugs resulting from these updates are commonplace. Let’s bet that Microsoft is already looking at fixes, even if the company has not yet issued a statement on the latest case.
