Microsoft issues emergency update for Windows 11 — fixes broken March preview update rollout from last week

Microsoft released an optional non-security update for Windows 11, identified as KB5079391, which caused significant installation issues for users, marked by error code 0x80073712. In response, Microsoft issued an emergency update, KB5086672, to address these problems for affected Windows 11 systems, including versions 25H2 and 24H2. This new update supersedes previous updates and includes protections and improvements from the March 2026 Windows security and non-security preview updates, along with an installation fix. The update also offers enhancements such as refresh rates exceeding 1000 Hz, improved auto-rotation and HDR reliability, and enhanced power efficiency for USB 4-connected monitors during sleep. Earlier in the year, the January security update, KB5074109, caused issues for gamers with Nvidia GPUs, leading to frame rate drops and system instability, with some users experiencing boot failures and errors like “UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME.” Additionally, users reported problems with shutting down or hibernating their PCs and disruptions in cloud-based applications like Outlook, OneDrive, and Dropbox.

Microsoft: Windows 11 users can’t access C: drive on some Samsung PCs

Microsoft is investigating an issue affecting some Samsung laptops running Windows 11, particularly after the February 2026 security updates, where users are losing access to their C: drive. This problem prevents them from launching essential applications and is reported to display an error message stating, "C: is not accessible – Access denied." The issue appears to be linked to specific Samsung software, with reports mainly coming from Brazil, Portugal, South Korea, and India, particularly involving the Samsung Galaxy Book 4. The problem is confined to Windows 11 versions 25H2 and 24H2. A workaround has been suggested that involves changing the ownership of the C: drive to the "Everyone" group, but this poses security risks, and users are advised to wait for an official fix from Microsoft.

Facebook colored text bug makes posts unreadable on Android app

A bug in the Facebook Android app has caused users to experience visual and readability issues, where posts display partial text against vibrant backgrounds, and tapping "See more" results in the text disappearing. This issue began in early March following a recent app update. A workaround involves rotating the device to landscape mode after tapping on a post, which temporarily restores the text visibility. The problem is confined to the Android app, with desktop and browser versions unaffected. Standard troubleshooting methods have not consistently resolved the issue, and Meta has not officially acknowledged it or provided a timeline for a fix. Users are advised to avoid using colored backgrounds in their posts until the issue is resolved.
