Windows 11: This update fixes a major bug, but introduces a new one

Updates aren’t Microsoft’s strong suit. It’s not unusual to see a few bugs lurking in new versions of Windows, wreaking havoc on some PCs. In fact, last week marked the return of problems with the latest version of the company’s operating system.

Taking the number KB5039302, this Windows 11 update has caused endless reboots for some users, especially virtualization enthusiasts. This problem particularly affected people using CloudPC, DevBox, Azure Virtual Desktop or even VMware.

Faced with this disaster, forcing victims to perform a system recovery, Microsoft had paused the deployment of the update on June 28, 2024. It was finally on June 30 that Windows 11 KB5039302 made its big comeback.

Although the company appears to have fixed the problem, it emphasizes that the version is not currently deployed on machines using virtualization software. It therefore seems that Microsoft is waiting a little longer to be sure that it has removed any threat for these users.

However, the new update KB5039302 is not without bugs. Indeed, the taskbar has decided to disappear on certain PCs. We also learn that Microsoft has discovered that this malfunction concerns two types of people: those using Windows N and those who have disabled the Media Features of the control panel.

It is therefore possible to correct the problem manually by typing Turn Windows features on or off in the search bar.

Knowing that version KB5039302 does not bring any major new software features, it is recommended to wait a while longer to install it in order to avoid any inconvenience.
