The latest Windows 11 21H2 Tuesday patch KB5013943 (internal version 22000.675) in May has been released. However, according to feedback from many users, this version will have problems such as blue screen, black screen, and error reporting.
In addition, some Windows 10 users also encountered serious problems after installing the Windows 10 May Update (KB5013942). As we all know, the cumulative update released by Microsoft is a patch that is mandatory to download and install. It aims to fix the bugs and security issues brought by the previous update, but it seems to fix some bugs and also bring new ones. Their usual joke.
KB5013942 fixes many issues for Windows 10, such as a 40-minute delay in system startup time. Some users have reported that the May 2022 update cannot be installed. Of course, the installation wasn’t the main issue, the main thing was that installing the patch seemed to conflict with some applications on the PC.
After installing KB5013942, some users reported that they were unable to open the Event Viewer. One of the affected users said he saw the following prompt when installing:
“There was some problem installing the update, but the system will try again later. If you keep seeing this and want to search the web or contact support for information, this may help: (0x80073701)”.
Another user described the problem he had on Windows 10:
“In addition to the event viewer being unable to open anymore, this patch also seems to delete .NET 5 related files (or cause them to fail to be enabled). For me, my Fijitsu scanner software, ScanSnap, now keeps giving an error saying mscoree.dll is missing.”
Additionally, the Windows Feedback Hub is full of questions about the Windows 10 May Update. One user stated “This update is obviously not compatible with a driver on my system because after installing it, I get frequent machine check exceptions. After booting, when all background services start. And in Everything was fine before this update.”
