Windows 11 users are facing big problems after a recent update. The update, called KB5066835, is causing major issues. It's breaking local network connections and making recovery tools useless.
The problem is with something called HTTP. sys. This is a part of Windows that handles web requests. When apps try to connect to local servers, the system messes up the connection. This is a big deal for developers and IT pros who rely on these tools every day.
The update is also causing other strange problems. Some users can't install it at all. Others see error messages. File Explorer is showing false warnings. Even some Logitech devices are acting up.
But the worst part is the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This is where users go to fix serious problems. Now, keyboards and mice don't work in WinRE. This means users can't even try to fix their computers if something goes wrong.
Microsoft knows about the issues. They're working on a fix, but it might take a few days to reach everyone. In the meantime, users are told to wait and check for updates.
This isn't the first time Windows updates have caused trouble. It shows how even big companies like Microsoft can have problems. They're pushing users to upgrade, but these issues make people question if it's worth it.
