Microsoft Windows 11 KB5077181 Update Triggers Infinite Restart Loop on Some Devices

Microsoft's Patch Tuesday update, KB5077181, released on February 10, 2026, has caused significant boot failures for users of Windows 11 versions 24H2 (OS build 26200.7840) and 25H2 (OS build 26100.7840), resulting in endless restart loops. Users are reporting over 15 reboot cycles, preventing access to their desktops. Issues include System Event Notification Service (SENS) errors and DHCP problems affecting internet connectivity. Installation errors with codes 0x800f0983 and 0x800f0991 indicate potential hardware, driver, or servicing stack incompatibilities. The update was intended to address 58 vulnerabilities, including six zero-days, but the boot loop issue has overshadowed these enhancements. CVE IDs and their CVSS scores related to the vulnerabilities addressed include: - CVE-2026-21510: 7.5 - CVE-2026-21519: 7.8 - CVE-2026-21533: 8.8 - CVE-2026-20841: 7.1 As of February 15, 2026, there is no "known issues" entry in Microsoft's release notes despite user reports. Users can uninstall the update through the Control Panel if their systems are accessible, or use the Windows Recovery Environment to execute commands for uninstallation if their systems are unbootable.

Microsoft says Windows 11 update causes BSOD on some GPU config, broke WPA3 Wi‑Fi, but a fix is rolling out

Microsoft has acknowledged two issues affecting certain installations of Windows 11: a critical bug causing system crashes for users with specific GPU configurations and a bug impacting WPA3 Wi-Fi connectivity. The first issue leads to a Black Screen of Death (BSOD) with the error code KERNELSECURITYCHECKFAILURE, which has been reported more frequently following recent updates. This error is linked to certain GPU setups encountering a system error involving dxgmms2.sys, a component of DirectX. Microsoft has released the February 2026 Update to address the GPU-related BSOD bug. The second issue prevents some PCs from connecting to WPA3-based Wi-Fi networks, which is related to an optional update released in January 2026 (KB5074105). The February 2026 Update also includes a fix for this connectivity problem, but the rollout is gradual, meaning users may still face issues until fully implemented.

Spotify has begun rolling out lossless audio for premium subscribers, enhancing the listening experience. However, many Android users, particularly those with Samsung and Google Pixel devices, are experiencing issues with the app, including freezing and crashes, especially on certain Wi-Fi networks.
