Security News > 2022 > January > Microsoft pulls new Windows Server updates due to critical bugs
Microsoft has pulled the January Windows Server cumulative updates after critical bugs caused domain controllers to reboot, Hyper-V to not work, and ReFS volume systems to become unavailable.
Tuesday, Microsoft released the January 2022 Patch Tuesday updates for Windows Server that includes numerous security updates and bug fixes.
Today, BleepingComputer has been told that Microsoft has pulled the January Windows Server updates, and they are no longer accessible via Windows Update.
We have not independently verified if the other Windows Server updates have been removed but have been told by Windows admins that this is the case.
The updates are still available from the Microsoft Catalog, but BleepingComputer strongly recommends that admins not install the new Windows Server updates at this time.
January's Windows 10 and Windows 11 cumulative updates are also breaking L2TP VPN connections but Microsoft has not pulled those updates at this time.
