• Windows 11 22H2 and 23H2 have been hit by a bug that can leave a PC unable to boot
• Microsoft is investigating this recovery error glitch in the May update

Those who haven’t yet installed the latest cumulative update for Windows 11 in May – by which I mean the upgrade released the week before last, not the most recent optional update – should be aware of a nasty bug that some users are encountering.

Microsoft has said that it’s investigating whether the May update can cause a showstopping error, which means your PC won’t boot. However, this warning is delivered with a welcome caveat that it isn’t likely to affect Windows 11 Home users. Still, that possibility isn’t ruled out, and given the gravity of the bug, it’s worth bearing in mind if you’re about to pull the trigger on this cumulative update.

Glad I checked as I had planned to update my Windows 11 (Home) laptop to the new May 23H2 cumulative update for Windows 11 this weekend.

Even though they (Microsoft) believe Windows 11 (Home) is not impacted, I’m gonna leave it for a month, or two.
