boot loop

Microsoft introduced an optional update for Windows 11, designated as KB5043145, which has caused significant issues for some users, leading to unresponsive systems. After installation, many users experienced the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) or the Green Screen of Death (GSOD), and some were prompted for BitLocker recovery. The update has been linked to a persistent boot loop, preventing affected systems from starting properly. Microsoft has acknowledged this issue, particularly for users on Windows 11 versions 23H2 and 22H2, and has removed the update from circulation. Users reported additional problems, including non-functional mice and keyboards and loss of WLAN connectivity. Microsoft is investigating these issues and advises users to hold off on installing the update if they haven't done so yet. For those who have installed it, they can uninstall it via Windows Recovery or through the Settings menu.
