"Microsoft's own fixes have become its biggest problem, forcing the company to issue a second emergency patch this month. The unprecedented cycle of patch-break-patch began after the Jan. 13 Patch Tuesday introduced critical flaws. An urgent fix on Jan. 17 failed, triggering debilitating new bugs, including file system issues with OneDrive and Dropbox, and freezing in Outlook. The bugs prompted the software giant to rush out a second out-of-band (OOB) update on Jan. 24, amid growing user frustration."
"Microsoft has advised Windows users to update to the latest version despite the recent issues with its updates. Flow of updates and accompanying bugs Microsoft calls the second Tuesday of every month Patch Tuesday or Update Tuesday. It allows the company to consistently roll out security and non-security updates to Microsoft products. Aside from these fixed update days, which are always cumulative, specific critical issues can force Microsoft to release an OOB update before its next Update Tuesday."
A Jan. 13 Microsoft update introduced critical flaws that affected compatibility, power, security, bootup, and networking. An urgent Jan. 17 fix failed and created new debilitating bugs, including file system problems with OneDrive and Dropbox and freezing in Outlook. Microsoft issued a second out-of-band update on Jan. 24 to address the cascading failures. Microsoft continues to advise users to update to the latest version despite recent update problems. The update cadence follows monthly Patch Tuesday releases, but the core problem arose when a fix for one bug introduced another, including Remote Desktop sign-in failures tied to KB5074109.
