Microsoft’s MSMQ Meltdown: How to Survive the Queue Catastrophe!
Microsoft urges businesses to reach out for advice on the MSMQ issue causing enterprise apps and IIS sites to flop. While they’re working on a fix, enterprise users are advised to reach out for temporary mitigation tips. Apparently, MSMQ users are now demanding admin-level access like demanding kids asking for WiFi passwords.

Hot Take:
Ah, nothing like a software update that turns your enterprise apps into sad, little, non-functioning pieces of code! Microsoft has once again gifted us with the blessing of a bug that makes IT admins question their life choices. But hey, at least they’ve got a hotline to call for help, because nothing screams holiday cheer like being on hold with tech support!
Key Points:
- Microsoft warns businesses about a bug affecting MSMQ after December 2025 updates.

- Problems include non-functional MSMQ queues and IIS sites failing.
