Too much pain for users and admins

Microsoft's first Patch Tuesday for 2022 was so bad it appeared to have been written by the software genii at Apple.

The Windows Update on January 11 was intended to address 96 security flaws but brought so much pain for users and admins it was probably better that they didn’t install it.

One of the major issues was that Windows Server 2012 became stuck in a boot loop and other versions suffered broken Windows VPN clients. Some hard drives appeared as RAW format (and unusable). Many IT Admins were forced to roll back the updates — leaving many servers vulnerable with none of last week's security patches.

Vole released emergency out-of-band updates to address multiple issues connected to VPN connectivity, Windows Server Domain Controllers restarting, Virtual Machines start failure," the company said.
