In general, it is advisable to always install software updates, since they come with different security and functional improvements. But sometimes they can also come with very unpleasant ‘surprises’ such as bugs that can hinder the experience of using the software.
This is precisely what happened with the latest Windows 11 update, specifically the version KB5034204. Specifically, this version for some people will not be installed by offering a error 0x8007000dand if it is installed it can end up with different problems in elements of the operating system.
A Windows update with ‘lights and shadows’
As of today, KB5034204 is an optional update that is not installed automatically as confirmed by Microsoft. And if you still decide to install it, it is possible that during the installation process an error may appear that causes the application of the update will automatically be rolled back. This is not something alarming, since everything will remain as it is.
But the most relevant thing is the problems that occur once it has been installed. Users are reporting errors in the file explorer in Windows 11. Specifically, when trying to use it it has looked like desktop screen goes completely blank and others report that the explorer.exe error appears when turning off the computer.
Additionally, the task bar displays difficulty accessing shortcuts and even access to Trash or PC. Specifically, the taskbar can disappear completely. The only thing you can do is press Windows + X to display it normally again.
The solution in these cases is to disable the download of automatic updates and wait for a new update to come out that solves all these problems, as they point out on Reddit. Likewise, if you have installed the update you will always be able to uninstall the update in Windows quickly and without losing any data.
