Microsoft and his users still can’t seem to take a break with updates for Windows 11 24H2. Since the official debut last October, the 2024 version has been saddled with problems. But every new update that has been designed to solve a number of bugs introduces even more.

The newest issue revolves around the Windows 11 24H2 Preview update released on January 28. Known as KB5050094, this would be a large bug buster, with both new and old glitches. The update has been successful in that respect, solving problems with USB headphones and webcams, DAC -Audio, Bluetooth devices, playing with AutohDR and disappearing mouse cursors.
The newest bugs
But as is sometimes the case, the update introduced a new series of glitches, according to complaints from users as spotted by Windows latest. The latest bugs influence the cursor, file explorer, audio devices, the virtual machine tool Hyper-V and a variety of other functions.
Various users who have installed KB5050094 say that the cursor sometimes continues to load. During testing, Windows turned out to be the newest that the spinning circle of the cursor appears every 30 seconds, making it look like Windows is trying to load something. The update of January 28 was also supposed to crush a bug in which the cursor would disappear when you tried to edit a text field. But this glitch seems to have survived and even got worse.
Another problem reported by people who have installed KB5050094 has an influence on File Explorer. In this case, File Explorer sometimes freezes or does not respond. One person who came to Microsoft’s feedback hub said that they could no longer use Windows Explorer on their desktop or laptop.

Other problems are popping up, according to Windows Lict. Some people say that audio devices disappear when they use apps such as Kodi, an open-source media player. In some cases, Windows gets stuck in a loop that tries to install the same update time and time again. Hyper-V can stop working during an external desktop session. In some rare cases, the idle ram use of the PC and the CPU and GPU temperatures will rise.
Other potential problems
Searching for the Microsoft feedback hub for KB5050094 reveals numerous other potential problems. One person says that apps cannot respond and that manual closing makes them unusable, unless the PC is restarted. Another person reports that the computer comes out of sleep mode after it, the computer freezes and has to be restarted.
Another person documented a large number of glitches.
“Install Windows 11 24H2 Preview update KB5050094, Build 26100.3037 makes my computer unusable,” the person wrote in the Feedbackhub. “File Explorer cannot be opened when clicking on the Explorer button on taskbar or even from the assignment or command prompt. Save every dialog boxes as / open / browse to log in to the desktop after entering my password. Various desktop – Apps and programs tend not to respond to minutes at a time and then become responsive.

Last week I applied the KB5050094 update to one of my Windows 11 PCs. I have not had the chance to completely bring it through his passes, but I can confirm at least one glitch. Logging in to Windows now takes much longer than before the update. After entering the password, the pin or scanning my fingerprint, I have to wait at least 15-20 seconds before the desktop appears-a good three to four times longer than before.
Why do people come across so many problems with this last update?
In some respects, this simply continues the poor track record of Microsoft from updating Windows 11 24H2. However, KB5050094 is also an example update. That means that it is an example of the Patch Tuesday -rollout of the following month, designed to give Windows managers the time to test it. As such, there is an implication that it is not completely ready and perhaps more unstable than an official automatic update.

Hopefully Microsoft has tackled some of the bugs that were introduced by KB5050094 on time for the next patch Tuesday on 11 February. Otherwise the problems in this update will probably spread to many more Windows 11 users.
