Well this is interesting and new. \u201cWe apologize for any inconvenience or confusion,\u201d Microsoft<\/a> has suddenly posted after \u201cmistakenly\u201d claiming an awkward Windows update issue had been fixed. It hasn\u2019t been fixed and has now gotten worse.<\/p>\n Per Windows Latest<\/a>, this follows a Windows 11 24H2 bug triggering \u201ca critical Firewall error.\u201d This \u201cfalse, harmless error\u201d confused users and caused alarm. Microsoft then \u201cincorrectly claimed the error is patched in Windows 11 KB5062553, [but] in reality, the update introduced error for everyone instead of fixing it.\u201d<\/p>\n ForbesThese Dangerous Apps Hack Your Smartphone\u2014One Click Stops ItBy Zak Doffman<\/a><\/p>\n Windows Latest has been tracking this error since the beginning, reporting \u201cthat the Firewall issue wasn\u2019t fixed. It kept showing up on my devices, and dozens of users told me they\u2019re still running into the same.\u201d<\/p>\n The good news is that \u201cyou can safely ignore\u201d these firewall warnings. The error which is flagged as \u201cWindows Firewall With Advanced Security 2042 None\u201d is completely is simply a reporting bug and \u201cposes no harm to your PC.\u201d<\/p>\n ForbesMicrosoft Confirms New Upgrade Deadlines\u2014\u2018Move To Windows 11\u2019By Zak Doffman<\/a><\/p>\n As Windows Latest says, \u201cMicrosoft has already admitted that the warning is caused by a code bug that crept in with recent updates for Windows 11\u202f24H2. The glitch only affects the event log entry, not the firewall itself.\u201d<\/p>\n The litany of update issues affecting Windows 11 users comes as an awkward time, as Microsoft<\/a>, its OEM partners<\/a> and even government security agencies<\/a> urge Windows 10 users to upgrade to the new OS. This despite the u-turn that has essentially extended Windows 10\u2019s end of life<\/a> for most users for another 12 months, until October 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Microsoft issues user apology.
