Microsoft patches the patch that put Windows 11 in a coma

Microsoft has released a fix for a recent patch that caused some Windows 11 PCs to enter recovery mode due to an error code linked to the May Patch Tuesday update. The issue primarily affected virtual boxes and some physical devices, displaying the message: "Your PC/Device needs to be repaired. The operating system couldn't be loaded because a required file is missing or contains errors. File: ACPI.sys. Error code: 0xc0000098." The fix, identified as KB5062170, does not address an ongoing issue with Noto fonts, where CJK characters appear blurry in Chromium browsers at 100 percent scaling. Users can temporarily adjust the scaling to 125 or 150 percent to mitigate this problem. Microsoft has faced similar challenges with out-of-band fixes in the past, affecting both Windows 10 and Windows Server.
