Normally, we can only encourage you to update the software and applications on your devices. These often correct bugs and flaws and keep your machines secure. But this is not the case for this optional Windows 11 patch called KB5043145.
Particularly annoying concerns
As indicated by our colleagues from 01Netusers report that although the latter is not supposed to install itself, this is nevertheless what happened on their computer with very damaging effects.
Subsequently, some of them were not even able to start their machine or found themselves with a blue screen of death. Browsing the Microsoft forums, you quickly realize that something is wrong. Between computers stuck in a bootloop and those having to deal with blue or green screens, the problems are legion.
Other problems have been reported following the installation of this patch and in particular the disablement of USB ports or the fact that keyboards and mice no longer respond. Finally, the Wi-Fi connection of certain devices is damaged.
It seems that certain gaming models are particularly affected by the update, including the ASUS TUF A15 and the ROG Strix G17 (2024). The Redmond firm indicates that it is aware of the bugs and specifies that an investigation is underway.
What to do in the meantime?
We can imagine that Microsoft will release a patch fairly quickly to address these various issues. In the meantime, you can uninstall the patch from your PC by going to Settings > Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall updates. You can then select KB5043145 to get rid of it.
In case of greater difficulty, you should restart your computer in recovery mode. To do this, turn it on and hold the Power button to prevent Windows from loading. By repeating this procedure a second time, the third attempt will boot into recovery mode.
You will then be able to enter the advanced troubleshooting mode options and uninstall this update. A restart of the PC is then necessary to complete the operation.
Soon the end of support on Windows 10
As a reminder, Microsoft has decided to end support for Windows 10 from October 2025. The operating system will therefore continue to work on your machine, but no security updates will be available. Ultimately, this may become problematic and the Redmond firm is therefore taking care to encourage its users to upgrade to Windows 11.
