Updates aren’t Microsoft’s strong suit. It’s not unusual to see a few bugs lurking in new versions of Windows, wreaking havoc on some PCs. In fact, last week marked the return of problems with the latest version of the company’s operating system.
Taking the number KB5039302, this Windows 11 update caused endless reboots for some users, especially those who use virtualization. This problem particularly affected people using CloudPC, DevBox, Azure Virtual Desktop or VMware.
Faced with this disaster, forcing victims to perform a system recovery, Microsoft had paused the deployment of the update on June 28, 2024. It was finally on June 30 that Windows 11 KB5039302 made its big comeback.
While the company appears to have fixed the issue, it points out that the build is not currently rolling out to machines running virtualization software, so it seems Microsoft is waiting a little longer to make sure it has eliminated any threats to those users.
However, the new KB5039302 update is not without bugs. Indeed, the taskbar has decided to disappear on some PCs. We also learn that Microsoft has discovered that this malfunction concerns two types of people: those using Windows N and those who have disabled the Media Features in the Control Panel.
It is thus possible to correct the problem manually by writing Turn Windows features on or off in the search bar.
Knowing that version KB5039302 does not bring any major software innovations, it is recommended to wait a little longer to install it in order to avoid any inconvenience.
