"The patch, released on January 13, was the first security update of the new year, and ultimately created more issues than it fixed. As Microsoft tells it, a bug related to its System Guard Secure Launch security feature was preventing users from shutting down or hibernating their PCs, and instead caused them to get stuck in an endless shutdown loop in which they either didn't finish the process and stayed powered on, or simply restarted."
"To fix the issue, Miscrosoft rushed out a emergency out-of-band update this Saturday, a typically rare intervention that these days is feeling more and more common, The Verge noted in its coverage. And while the scale of the issue does not appear to be outright disastrous - as only PCs installed with an older edition of Windows 11, 23H2, and specifically the Enterprise or IoT editions, were affected - it's nonetheless an embarrassingly glaring oversight."
On January 13 a Windows 11 security patch caused affected PCs to fail to shut down or hibernate. A bug in System Guard Secure Launch trapped machines in an endless shutdown loop, causing them either to remain powered on or to restart repeatedly. Microsoft issued an emergency out-of-band update to address the problem. Only Windows 11 23H2 Enterprise and IoT editions appeared affected, limiting the scope but highlighting a glaring oversight. The incident raised concerns about usability and reliability as Microsoft adds AI features like Copilot in File Explorer and Copilot Vision and Actions. Public reaction included mockery of claims that up to 30 percent of company code is now written with AI.
