"The Windows 10 update KB5053606, which was supposed to beef up security, has ended up causing a bunch of technical headaches. Gurus have noticed that after installing this update, many systems start throwing error code 0x80070020, take way too long to install, and even force the update on systems that were set to skip automatic updates. There are issues like missing taskbar icons, desktop settings getting reset, noticeable lag when typing, and problems with printing services. Additionally, the update has made working with remote desktop platforms like Citrix more unstable. Although Microsoft has confirmed some issues with Citrix and USB printers, most of the performance and interface glitches haven’t been properly addressed yet. In business settings, the enforced installation of KB5053606 has led to unexpected downtimes and slower system performance. Many gurus in IT are finding that the update disrupts not just everyday tasks, but also more critical operations by messing with specialized applications and third-party software. As a result, some have turned to using tools like Microsoft's "Show or Hide Updates" to block the update temporarily. For systems already hit by these problems, rolling back the update might be an option, although that comes with its own security risks. It’s a tricky balance between keeping systems secure and ensuring they run smoothly, so many technical experts are watching closely for any new fixes or patches from Microsoft."
