Microsoft quietly fixed Windows 11 24H2 issues caused by past update

Microsoft has quietly acknowledged and addressed the stability issues caused by previous mandatory updates for Windows 11 version 24H2. The issues, which included problems like games randomly restarting, Windows taskbar freezes, and performance drops in certain games, were caused by updates KB5060842 and KB5063060 released in June. In an addendum to the optional preview update KB5062660, Microsoft has confirmed the problems and stated that the update addresses the instability and Windows Firewall issues. Users experiencing these problems can manually install the KB5062660 update to resolve them, as it will be released for all Windows computers in the August Patch Tuesday update. Microsoft has recently promised to improve Windows 11 performance and stability, and these issues highlight the need for the company to deliver on its commitments. Hopefully, such problematic updates will become less common in the future as Microsoft works to ensure a more reliable Windows 11 experience.
