Writing large amounts of data is said to have led to failures in some SSDS after the last Windows update KB5063878, according to some Japanese media. Heise forums also reported failures. Microsoft is investigating the problem, but has not yet commented on it.
[…] According to Microsoft, the Windows update fixes security issues. We therefore advise against uninstalling the update. Instead, users should avoid copying large amounts of data until the problem has been resolved.
Apparently Microsoft still recommends updating. If anyone feels concerned, or has drives that are reportedly affected, you can pause updates if you go to Settings > Windows Update
But it still doesn’t let you to choose which updates to install via GUI. And sometimes corrupted microsoft versions of nvidia display drivers still leak out.
You can perceive it both as off-topic and on-topic i guess … just don’t take it too serious… it was more meant as a funny remark and a little nudge. It has some truth in it though.
I’d like to encourage people making the switch .. it’s doable. If someone is reading this who is not so tech savvy and wants to try linux better choose a distro like Ubuntu or Mint.
WARNING: WINDOWS 11 UPDATE KB5063878
