Security News > 2024 > January > Windows Server 2022 patch is breaking apps for some users
The latest Windows Server 2022 patch has broken the Chrome browser, and short of uninstalling the update, a registry hack is the only way to restore service for affected users.
KB5034129 is a security update for Windows Server 2022 and was released on January 9, 2024.
That is, unless those administrators like to run Chrome on their Windows Server 2022 desktop.
At the time of writing the company's support page for the patch still says: "Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update."
Users could decide not to use desktop applications on a server operating system.
Just because it looks a bit like Windows 10 doesn't mean it is Windows 10.
