Came in to work today and coworkers were scrambling through event viewer and regedit, doing reboots to no evail. I did a quick search and found windows bunged up our RDS.

Turns out this update was from last week and the workaround was rolling back a version to a 9.8 CVE. Fortunately, Microslop issued an OOB fix literally this morning so we could use that.

Frickin Windows man.

Edit: forgot to add, my coworkers spent like 2 hours asking chatgpt and they were looking in to regedit to fix stuff while it took me a single search on DDG to find out it was a bad Windows update

Yeah we do have policy that delays updates but for some reason, it didn't go through. During investigating, we were wondering if a registry edit for autoupdate flag was the cause of this

    Is your WUServer pointing to WSUS or going through Microsoft directly?

    Probably ms directly, I don't believe we have a dedicated update server

    Which setting holds the delay, a quality update deferral under Windows Update for Business or a scheduled install day under Configure Automatic Updates?
