Windows 11 2024 Update: A Bug-Filled Mess?

Microsoft's 2024 Windows 11 update continues to be plagued with issues. The February Patch Tuesday update (KB5051987), intended to fix bugs, has instead introduced new problems, including File Explorer malfunctions, installation glitches, and more. While the update addressed some issues with digital audio converters, USB audio drivers, USB cameras, and passkeys, and patched security vulnerabilities, many users report File Explorer failing to respond when opening folders, accessing it via shortcuts or Windows Search, or displaying subfolders. Installation problems include the update stopping at 96% or getting stuck at 0%. Other glitches include mouse stuttering, undetectable cameras, and .NET app installation failures within Windows Sandbox. While not all users experience these issues, the problems highlight the instability of the Windows 11 2024 version, demanding swift action from Microsoft to ensure system stability and reliability.
