Windows 11 Update Fiasco: Virtual Machines Get the Boot (Error)
Microsoft’s Patch Tuesday update is causing headaches, leaving some Windows 11 machines, especially virtual ones, stuck in recovery mode. The culprit? A pesky ACPI.sys file error. Microsoft’s advice? Avoid the update like you would Aunt Edna’s fruitcake. They’re working on a fix, but in the meantime, it’s best to dodge this digital disaster.
Hot Take:
Oh Microsoft, you’ve done it again! Yet another episode of “Patch Tuesday: The Uninstallable Update.” It seems Windows 11 is determined to test our patience or just really wants a nap in recovery mode. What’s next, Windows? Are you going to ask us to turn it off and on again? Maybe the real update was the friends we made along the way—like the ACPI.sys error code!
