Microsoft confirms issues in Windows 11 KB5036980

Mayank Parmar - April 28, 20240

Some users who have installed the Windows 11 KB5036980 optional update have been facing new problems. Microsoft has acknowledged the reports and confirmed the issues.

 

In a Feedback Hub post first spotted by Windows Latest, several users complained that they’re getting 0x80070520 error messages when they try to change their account profile picture. The error is mostly experienced on devices with a local account only, which means you won’t run into it if you use a Microsoft account.

 

It’s worth noting that KB5036980 is an optional cumulative ‘preview’ update, which means it won’t download or install automatically unless you manually go to Settings and click “Download & Install” under the update...... See also my reply on top with the bolded text.

Microsoft confirms recent Windows security update breaks VPNs, no fix yet

LooL. People don't want cancer installed on their computers. People have voted with common sense. There is still hope for the humanity @Mr. Fox

 

How Windows 10 is currently annoying us with pop-ups

Windows 10 displays full-screen adverts for the upgrade, even on Windows 10 computers that do not meet the requirements for Windows 11. The annoying upgrade notifications are even appearing on Windows 10 PCs within companies. At the same time, Microsoft has increased the number of upgrade-eligible Windows 10 PCs. So far, however, none of this has been successful; on the contrary, Windows 10 has recently gained market share, while Windows 11 has lost market share.

Newer is always better newer.

The numbers and the graph can speak for themself. Windows 11 is a failed OS and Microsoft know it. Even some smart people know it. With much lower sales of new computers the 25% market share would be much much worse. So Microsoft is saved by sales of new machines that only have Win 11 installed. 

 

Windows 10 returns to 70% market share as Windows 11 continues to sink

Windows 11 drops to 25 percent, continuing last month's slide

It makes my heart happy and I hope it continues. It is a joyful thing to see there are enough people with common sense to avoid downgrading from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I hope that this causes the people responsible for Windows 11 being the piece of crap that it is great suffering and hardship. Scummy products exist because scummy people create them.

We were saying the same things comparing Windows 7 to Windows 10, what, 6 years ago?

What would happen if Windows 7 source code was released? Just a hypothetical? Massive 3rd party driver development, and a jump to first in marketshare...lol

[br2]

Sympathetic as i am to these sentiments, they add security when they add bloat. Eventually they fix the stuff they broke and regain speed they lost. I'm tempted to try Tiny11 but the last thing i want to do is play with computers after working on them all day.

Nothing will ever be as good as Windows 7. The only thing wrong with it is the lack of current hardware driver support, and that is only because control freaks have more or less forbidden commercial driver development for Windows 7. Not sure if it is the truth or not, but I heard that there have been at least a couple of super-talented "pro-level" driver modders that have received cease and desist others and threats of litigation from the Redmond Reprbates for doing so. The Redmond Rejects know that if drivers remain widely available for Windows 7 there are too many wise people that will refuse to install the new trash OSes.

Some of us do not care about that and feel like the "need" for it falls somewhere between fake/fraud or grossly exaggerated. How else could these brain-damaged Nazis get smart people to install their dung OS? They have to lie, distort, exaggerate and deceive to avoid failing harder than they already have. I do not use security software and do not install security or feature updates. Around 2015 I discovered the reward for not plastering my OS with "security" feces was much greater than the hypothetical risk.

 

I have avoiding issues by:

• Not visiting questionable and skank web sites
• Not opening/viewing 90% of my email (at least that much is unwanted, unsoliticed or spam)
• Not opening any email attachment that I was not expecting to receive
• Not downloading or installing software just because it seems interesting
• Not downloading files from foreign file sharing sites
• Making my own archive of software that I do install and use (download once and done)
• Always show hidden files and file extensions and compare checksums
• Having a Macrium Reflect image of the OS I can restore if something does go wrong

Not as good as Windows 7, but not as bad as 10 or as atrocious as 11. Where they started circling the drain and focusing on stupid things was 8.X and 8.X was uglier than even 11 without aesthetic mitigations.

Haven't looked. "Tiny" sounds like it's worth looking into. I want path of least resistance, latest os is simplest.

Because it's no longer about what the end user wants anymore. It's about ad revenue, and shareholders needs.

looks like the upcoming Windows 11 24H2 release will not work or drop support for more older CPUs

 

Neowin - First-generation Windows on ARM PCs will not be able to run Windows 11 24H2

Seems like they are either literally insane, or they want everyone that isn't a stupid boot-licking zombie to use something better. They must be banking on the hope that enough people will actually care enough about 24H2 that they will feel compelled to fall in line with the Nazi edicts and mandates. Maybe the sheeple that comprise their pathetic 25% market share will care and they are content with a 25% or less market share, but I suspect the other 75% will continue to not care. I hope that is the case and their market share continues to decline. @Papusan will you be among the first to update? Are you excited, brother?

What you see is the tech trend rolling forwards. Here's the new low but from Intel. They all (tech companies) offer new lows in a pace you never have seen before.

Other than Thursday and Friday, and then only because I had to use Windoze for Micro$lop PowerBI to create monthly reports for my employer's largest clients, I am starting on my third week of using only Linux for work. I did have to find and download a few fonts that are not native to Linux/LibreOffice so that the formatting of Word document templates isn't all jacked up, but other than that I have absolutely not had a need or an urge to use Winduhz even once.

Linux will still be more and more valuable option for the AMD fans.... They will be forced to use Windows 11. Maybe you can find some mod drivers but as we know.... AMD isn't good at making drivers and software for their hardware. And chipset drivers is from what I know important for AMD hardware to work correctly. Doomed?

 

More crap. But from AMD this time. They licking Microsofts asssses. What's the problem offer Windows 10 drivers? This older OS is still not EOL when Zen 5 is out. Disgusting!!!

That is truly appalling and I hope that horribly tragic and unrecoverably devastating things happen to Micro$oft and they end up filing bankruptcy. They do not deserve to live anymore (speaking of the company, not the individuals employed by them and their families, other than finding a new place to work).

 

Brother @Raiderman is going to love hearing he won't even be able to get Windows 10 drivers. Hopefully they will be easy enough to mod for Windows 10, but the Redmond Reprobate Cartel have been pretty effective at going full-psycho-Nazi on blocking Windows 7 driver mods.

 

This also is an extremely negative reflection on AMD for being so willing to bow down and worship the biggest coward clown possee in the technology space (Micro$lop). But, don't be too surprised if Intel joins them in elevating the coward clown possee and validating their criminal behavior. It's probably just AMD being the first to prostitute themselves.

 

The level of blind obeissance the industry demonstrates to Redmond's Digital Dictatorship is too repulsive for words. I think the only possible ways to explain it is that it is being driven either by  inter-industry collusion or blackmail. Either way, it is criminal by nature and intent. Their malign approach to things should be against the law.

Not sure Windows 10 will work properly with new Ryzen chips. With AMDs software/driver and bios mess don't have big hope for a decent experience.

 

I'm sure bro @Raiderman looking forwards to next level of greed and stupidity from Microsoft. This is just disgusting. Microsoft will do whatever they can to make Windows as the main ad channel. They have collected so much info about you the last years with their telemetry in later OS that they will now use it for whats worth.

Personally, my free time is for Tai Chi. If I work on an antique, it will be a classic sports car, not writing drivers for an old os.

Y'all may want to consider loading a classic os in a vm. I still have Xp vms for running ancient software.

You probably need VmWare to load a classic os, not sure if Msft vm will allow it.  

You'll need Msdn (no escape...) to get the old os images. Curiously, they have 3.11 and Xp but no 2000. 😢
