Episode 92: The 2026 Windows Update Nightmare

We discuss the catastrophic failures related to some of the most recent Windows Updates released by Microsoft, particularly KB5077181, KB5074109, and KB5066835. These updates were released in February 2026, January 2026 and October 2025 respectively and unleashed a barrage of trouble for Windows 11 users from being unable to use Outlook to being unable to use Wi-Fi. We will cover what went wrong and what you can do if your system is currently affected. Our United Kingdom consumer panelist Sara Russell joins us to discuss her own personal experience.
