The company has also added that Windows 10 22H2 is affected.Hello – not sure if there is a connection here but this has happened on 2 of my win 10 computers with Norton 360 installedĪbout a week ago there was a download for the win 10 22H2 update.

On the Windows health dashboard, the company has confirmed that the latest Windows 11 version indeed received the KB5012170 update. Microsoft has now acknowledged the issue.

While the KB5012170 update was initially released for Windows 11 21H2, Windows 10 21H2, and older Windows versions, users recently began reporting that they were now seeing the update on their Windows 11 22H2 systems as well. Microsoft's health dashboard still lists these bugs as 'confirmed' implying there is more to the story here.

This time, users reported that after installing the update, their systems were forced into BitLocker recovery mode, forcing the Redmond firm to provide steps to workaround the bug. Well, apparently, it was just the start, as a week later, Microsoft also acknowledged another issue relating to the KB5012170 update. However, the update was found to be causing issues as it was failing to install with error code '0x800f0922', and as a workaround, Microsoft suggested updating the UEFI. Likewise, the one in August patched several flaws, including one for a critical Secure Boot DBX GRUB vulnerability (KB5012170). These aren't generally feature-rich, but instead, fix security vulnerabilities in Windows.

Microsoft releases security updates via Patch Tuesdays on every second Tuesday of the month.
