For its part, Microsoft has released a new Windows Update for Windows 10. This update is none other than KB5053606, and to say the least, it causes problems. It causes problems during installation and once installed. Here, the problems are varied, but above all very annoying.
KB5053606: the Windows update that’s making a mess!
During the installation process, users are already experiencing problems. For some, it’s taking forever to install, even though it’s just a simple security update that doesn’t add any new functionality. For others, error messages 0x80070020 appear. And finally, despite automatic installation of deactivated updates, the last update is installed anyway.
If you’ve reached the end of the installation process, it’s off to new adventures. Some of the less serious issues include missing icons in the taskbar, for example. All you have to do is redo your shortcuts here, but it’s always a pain to chase after your icons. Another problem, just as superficial: Windows customisation, which is reset by default.
Among the more annoying problems, we find a lag when typing on the keyboard, the kind of experience that’s really annoying when you’re working, for example. There are also problems with printers (those devilish devices) when connected via USB. There are also problems with third-party software such as the Citrix remote desktop platform. Finally, there is talk of a drop in performance and a slower-than-usual system.
In short, all this has forced some users to use Microsoft’s Show and Hide Update tool to block the installation of this KB5053606 update. If you have any problems with this update, you can try a system restore. In any case, it’s up to you to judge the benefit/risk ratio of this operation!
