Microsoft has addressed a known issue that was causing the start menu on some Windows 11 to malfunction after installing recent updates.
This known issue affects only devices running Windows 11, version 21H2, and it was acknowledged on Friday after Redmond received customer reports of start menu issues affecting some systems.
"A small number of devices are unable to open the Start menu after installing updates released June 23, 2022 or later," the company explained in a recent update on the Windows health dashboard.
"On affected devices, clicking or selecting the Start button, or using the Windows key on your keyboard might have no effect."
Microsoft has addressed the issue using Known Issue Rollback, a Windows capability that helps revert buggy Windows non-security fixes delivered through Windows Update.
This Friday, Microsoft also warned customers that printing with USB-connected printers might fail after installing Windows updates released since June 28.
