Security News > 2022 > July > Microsoft's latest security patch troubles Windows 11 users
Complaints over Microsoft's latest patch Tuesday have intensified after some Windows 11 users found their systems worse for wear following installation.
The July 12 patch, KB5015814, was a relatively straightforward one that dealt with a number of what Microsoft delicately termed "Security issues" in its summary.
What appears to be making last week's Patch Tuesday notable for some Windows 11 users is not quite as chirpy as the content of search highlights.
As well as the installation error codes, Redditors in the Windows 11 forum already reported problems with the Start Menu and Explorer appearing to hang.
The Register has contacted Microsoft and Malwarebytes regarding the issues and will update should either company respond.
Microsoft has a rich history of releasing problematic patches and then patching those patches with more patches.
