KB5077181 was released about a month ago as part of the February Patch Tuesday rollout. When the update first arrived, users reported a wide range of problems, including boot loops, login errors, and installation issues.

Microsoft has now acknowledged another problem linked to the same update. Some affected users see the message “C:\ is not accessible – Access denied” when trying to open the system drive.

      Its funny how literally every bug in code now is assumed to be AI, as if we didn’t live/deal with buggy programs for decades before it.

        Sure, but it certainly seems like we are seeing a greater number of software errors caused by bad or sloppily implemented features now, compared to before LLMs were readily available and good enough to produce (mostly) passable code. Far too many companies, including Microslop, put too much faith in the technology, and that seems to correlate with many of these problems popping up.

          Is there any data to back that up? I remember many Microsoft issues throughout the years, pretty bad or dumb bugs frequently.

            I have no scientific sources I can point to to back it up. A hunch is what it is, ultimately. It seems true to me, but I suppose I could be wrong. I suspect it’s difficult to really prove this one way or the other.
