- Windows 11 22h2 and 23h2 have been beaten by an error that can leave a PC that cannot start
- Microsoft is investigating this recovery error error in the May update
- We are told that Windows 11 domestic users are affected, but that does not mean that they cannot meet this exhibition issue
Those who have not yet installed the latest accumulated update for Windows 11 in May, with which I mean the update launched the previous week, not the most recent optional update must be aware of an unpleasant error that some users are finding.
Microsoft has said that it is investigating whether May the update can cause a showstopping error, which means that its PC will not start. However, this warning is delivered with a welcome warning that it is not likely to affect Windows 11th domestic users 11. Even so, that possibility is not ruled out, and given the seriousness of the error, it is worth taking into account if it is about to tighten the trigger in this cumulative update.
Bleeping Computer reports that Microsoft has updated its health launch panel with information about the error and how the update could fall with a ‘recovery error 0xC0000098 in the ACPI.SYS message.
However, this is not a simple error or an installation failure, since it leaves Windows 11 cannot start and requires that a system repair be executed. And if that fix It will be successful that nobody supposes, since sometimes, these are the type of situations that are difficult to recover, and the operating system is not necessarily removed from the hole that has been dug.
The good news is that the affected devices that run Windows 11 22h2 and 23h2, keep in mind that 24h2 are not affected here, are few in number. Mainly, this problem refers to virtual machines, not in physical PCs of Windows 11.
Microsoft explains: “It is unlikely that Windows domestic users use editions at home or professionals face this problem, since virtual machines are mainly used in IT environments.”
However, being “unlikely” does not equal to be impossible, so there must be some Windows 11 PC reports (instead of virtual machines) affected by this unfortunate problem.
I found a recent report on Reddit, although it is not explicitly linked to the last update that is being installed, so take it with a salt grain. The error message was also slightly different, but in its warning, Microsoft acknowledges that a file name other than acpi.Sys could appear in error.
ANALYSIS: A cautious approach can be wise here
Microsoft would not announce this investigation lightly, so if the May update has not yet installed, I think it is worth delaying the installation of that update for a little more. Mainly to allow Microsoft to complete your research here, after all, you have waited a couple of weeks (for any reason) now, then what is another week, or maybe a little more?
It is possible to stop the operating system updates for more than a month, even in Windows 11 Home, although it will be forced to apply any given patch after 35 days of deferring it.
At this additional time, you can wait for Microsoft to complete its deepest immersion in what is happening here, and hopefully that will also lead to a solution to be implemented soon.
Okay, he is probably successful to find this recovery error, but even a small possibility is unpleasant, since it could be a potentially thorny problem to free himself. Ultimately, the choice is yours, and if you have already installed May’s update without finding any error, it should make it clear that you have nothing to worry about.
Microsoft is not having a good time of things lately when it comes to errors of a very unpleasant nature, since there was also a true tail sting for some Windows 10 users with the May update.
