Windows 11 Update Problems: Users Report Issues with Copilot AI and More
Windows 11 users who installed the KB5030310 update, which includes the Copilot AI and other features, are reporting various issues with the update. It is important to note that this update is a preview release for those using Windows 11 22H2. To access the update and Copilot, users need to select the option to ‘Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available’ in Windows Update.
File Explorer Becomes Prone to Bugs and Slows Down
Some users have experienced problems with File Explorer, the central part of the Windows 11 interface for managing folders and files on the desktop. File Explorer has become more prone to buggy behavior and noticeably slower in general. This includes sluggishness in rendering the interface, which can be quite jarring.
Search Box and Magnifying Glass Icon Issues
Other users have reported issues with the search box in the taskbar. It fails to work properly, and the magnifying glass icon is not rendering correctly. Instead, it is displayed as the letter ‘C’, which is quite odd.
System Crashes and Black Screens
More concerning problems include system crashes after the update and black screens. The black screens are not complete lock-ups and can be escaped by bringing up the Task Manager. However, these issues can be frustrating for users.
AMD Graphics Card Users Experience Settings Reset
Users with AMD graphics cards, running the latest driver (Adrenalin driver 23.9.3), are facing a significant glitch. After every PC restart, their settings are being reset. This continuous resetting of settings can become tiresome for AMD GPU owners.
Previews Come with Expected Flaws
As this update is a preview release, it is expected to have some flaws. Microsoft is still working on the functionality of the update, so encountering bugs is not unexpected. In fact, glitches can occur even in finished updates for Windows 11, not just those in testing.
Microsoft’s Response and Investigations
Despite reports from users on Reddit and Microsoft’s Feedback Hub, Microsoft claims to be unaware of any issues with the KB5030310 update. However, there may be ongoing investigations into the reported glitches, and we may hear from Microsoft soon regarding the extent of these issues and any potential solutions.
In conclusion, while the KB5030310 update brings exciting new features like Copilot, it is important to be aware that installing preview releases comes with a level of risk for encountering bugs. It is advisable to consider the potential issues before opting for the latest features straight away.
