Microsoft confirms Windows 11 KB5066835 issues. Localhost, File Explorer preview, install errors

Microsoft has acknowledged that the Windows 11 update KB5066835 is causing significant disruptions, particularly affecting localhost (127.0.0.1) HTTP/2 connections, preventing locally hosted applications from connecting to the network. Installation of the October 2025 Patch Tuesday update may fail due to error codes including 0x800f0922, 0x800f0983, 0x800f081f, 0x80071a2d, and 0x800f0991. A bug is obstructing File Explorer's document previews in the Preview pane, citing security concerns. Compatibility issues have arisen with certain Logitech peripherals, rendering them non-functional, and users are reporting unresponsive mouse and keyboard inputs in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). Despite being a mandatory security update, KB5066835 has introduced features like repositioning on-screen volume indicators and enhancing File Explorer's context menu loading speed, but these enhancements have disrupted critical functionalities. Microsoft is rolling out an emergency patch to resolve localhost-related problems, which may take over 48 hours to appear. A workaround for localhost issues involves modifying the Windows Registry to disable HTTP/2. File Explorer's preview issue can be addressed by unblocking files using PowerShell or modifying the registry. Logitech's specialized features have stopped working for some users, and keyboard and mouse inputs are unresponsive in WinRE after the update. Users can disable WinRE and replace the WinRE image as a potential fix, but this is recommended only for IT administrators.

YouTube will soon let Android users switch off that annoying Auto Zoom feature (APK teardown)

YouTube's Android app has introduced a feature called Auto Zoom, which automatically activates in landscape mode to zoom in on videos, often cropping important content without an option to disable it. This feature differs from the user-controlled "Zoom to fill screen" option and has caused frustration among users due to its inconsistent activation. A button labeled “Auto Zoom” appears when the feature is engaged, allowing users to revert to the original view. Recent analyses of the app's code suggest that Google is developing a toggle to disable Auto Zoom, which may be added below the "Zoom to fill screen" setting in a future update.

New Android TapTrap attack fools users with invisible UI trick

A new tapjacking technique called TapTrap can exploit user interface animations on Android devices, bypassing the permission system and potentially allowing access to sensitive data or harmful actions. TapTrap operates with zero-permission applications, layering a transparent activity over a malicious one. This vulnerability exists in both Android 15 and 16. Developed by researchers from TU Wien and the University of Bayreuth, TapTrap manipulates activity transitions using custom low-opacity animations, making risky prompts nearly invisible to users. An analysis of nearly 100,000 apps revealed that 76% are vulnerable to TapTrap due to specific conditions related to activity launching and animation handling. The attack has been confirmed on Android 16, including tests on a Google Pixel 8a. GrapheneOS has acknowledged its vulnerability to TapTrap and plans to include a fix in its next release. Google is aware of the issue and intends to address it in a future update.
