Windows 11 KB5043145 is an optional update that has caused significant issues for users, including failures to boot to the desktop, resulting in "Blue Screen of Death" (BSOD) and "Green Screen of Death" (GSOD) errors. Reports indicate that affected devices may become trapped in a boot loop or unable to boot, leading to automatic transitions to recovery screens. The problems are particularly prevalent among users of Asus TUF A15 (2022) and ROG Strix G17 (2024) laptops, although Microsoft suggests the issue may affect other models as well. Users have also reported that their mouse and keyboard became non-functional after the update, particularly on Intel NUC models and some Asus laptops. Additionally, WSL2 fails to operate on AMD systems, displaying a connection timeout error. Other reported issues include the disappearance of WiFi options and changes to right-click context menus. Microsoft is investigating these problems and advises affected users to report their experiences through the Feedback Hub. Instructions for manually uninstalling the update are provided, including steps to access recovery mode and use the Command Prompt.
