Microsoft’s latest Windows 11 update is causing a number of incompatibility issues and unintended
consequences.
Apparently Windows 11 KB5050009 has a lot of issues, and it’s not just limited to Windows 11
24H2 because it's also been reported that KB5050021 has similar or different issues.

It's been reported that Microsoft's Windows 11 24H2 has been a massive problem for plenty of PC
users, with bugs and functionality issues present across the board, which has more recently affected
gamers — and now, it looks like a new set of issues have arrived to cause more frustrations.”
It seems that Audio devices including Bluetooth headsets cut out for those users affected by the failed
update. After the update, Bluetooth headphones were still getting connected, but there was no audio.
It was also affecting the ability to watch anything on YouTube because the video would buffer or fail
with an audio render error.
The buggy update issue has been something of a constant with this latest Windows release, and isn’t
helping the drive to push reluctant Windows 10 users to upgrade. The biggest problem is that it can be
hard to diagnose some of the reported issues — there’s an abundance of different PC setups, with dif-
ferent applications installed which could be responsible for some bugs.

The workaround for all these issues is to uninstall the update and pause Windows Updates until a fix
is available.
We’re approaching the home straight for Windows 11 to finally displace its older sibling before its
end-of-life in October. Microsoft has offered a free upgrade path for users, but there is no sign yet of
the widespread reluctance dissipating. And this won’t help. I have approached the company for any
comments on these new problems.
