Security News > 2022 > January > Microsoft patches the patch that broke VPNs, Hyper-V, and left servers in boot loops
Microsoft has patched the patch that broke chunks of Windows and emitted fixes for a Patch Tuesday cock-up that left servers rebooting and VPNs disconnected.
On the receiving end of the company's attention were Windows desktop and Windows Server installs left a little broken following Microsoft's latest demonstration of its legendary quality control.
KB5010793, KB5010792, KB5010790 and KB5010789 were slung out for Windows 10 and Windows Server.
Even Windows 7 and Windows Server 2008 R2 got some love with KB5010798 and KB5010799, such was the blast radius of last week's whoopsie.
The perhaps inappropriately named Windows Resilient File System also had problems following the update, which left volumes inaccessible for some users.
Other users reported problems with VPN connections on Windows versions from the 2015 LTSB edition right up to Windows 11, something Microsoft acknowledged with an update to its Windows release health dashboard.
