Microsoft to release emergency fix for Windows 11 update that caused widespread problems

By
Microsoft Windows 11 on laptop

Just last week, Microsoft officially ended support for Windows 10, pushing users to upgrade to its latest operating system Windows 11. That makes the timing of a recent Windows 11 issue very awkward for Microsoft.

Unfortunately, Microsoft's most recent Windows 11 update appears to have caused problems with numerous different applications and hardware peripherals, according to a multiple reports from different outlets, including our sister site, CNET. Many devices using Windows 11 will now require a follow-up emergency update to fix issued caused by the previous mandatory update.

The October Windows 11 update "breaks localhost (127.0.0.1) HTTP/2 connections," according to Windows Latest, which also listed a number of issues that users are facing. For example, apps that were hosted locally were no longer able to connect to the network. Windows users were also finding that some hardware by Logitech was no longer working on their PCs. In addition, some users reported that their mouse and keyboard wouldn't work in WinRE (Windows Recovery Environment) and that File Explorer document wouldn't open in the Preview pane due to a false security issue.

Microsoft has since indicated that a fix is on the way in a subsequent update for issues with Windows 11 KB5066835. The company says a patch is rolling out and users should continually check for an update. However, it could take more than 48 hours for the update to finally show for some users.

Mashable previously reported on one of the last updates to Windows 10, which caused issues that included frame rates dropping in games like Fortnite, making them near unplayable.

Windows 11 was released in 2021 and now holds nearly 50 percent of the marketshare. Its predecessor, Windows 10 was first released to the public in 2015 and still holds 40 percent of the PC marketshare, regardless of the fact that Microsoft ended support for the operating system earlier this month. 

As Microsoft looks to move those who have still yet to update their operating system to Windows 11, this latest update bug couldn't have come at a worse time. Microsoft is certainly looking to get that fix out to everyone as soon as possible.

Instagram accidentally reinstated Pornhub’s banned account

By
After years of on-and-off temporary suspensions, Instagram permanently banned Pornhub’s account in September. Then, for a short period of time this weekend, the account was reinstated. By Tuesday, it was permanently banned again. “This was done in error,” an Instagram spokesperson told TechCrunch. “As we’ve said previously, we permanently disabled this Instagram account for repeatedly violating our policies.” Instagram’s content guidelines prohibit  nudity and sexual solicitation . A Pornhub spokesperson told TechCrunch, though, that they believe the adult streaming platform’s account did not violate any guidelines. Instagram has not commented on the exact reasoning for the ban, or which policies the account violated. It’s worrying from a moderation perspective if a permanently banned Instagram account can accidentally get switched back on. Pornhub told TechCrunch that its account even received a notice from Instagram, stating that its ban had been a mistake (that message itse...

Watch Aidy Bryant *completely* lose it as 'SNL' roasts political pundits

By
On Saturday Night Live , there are breaks and then there's whatever happened here. The Season 45 premiere featured a sketch that was meant to expose the empty noisemaking of political punditry on TV. But part of the joke involved a series of quick costume changes, and some weirdness during one of those switches led to a complete and total breakdown. Aidy Bryant, the segment's host, couldn't take it. She manages to keep it together until what appears to be an accidental wide shot exposes some of the magic as we see a woman who's probably a member of the SNL wardrobe crew fiddling with Aidy's costume.

California Gov. Newsom vetoes bill SB 1047 that aims to prevent AI disasters

By
California Gov. Gavin Newsom has vetoed bill SB 1047, which aims to prevent bad actors from using AI to cause "critical harm" to humans. The California state assembly passed the legislation by a margin of 41-9 on August 28, but several organizations including the Chamber of Commerce had urged Newsom to veto the bill . In his veto message on Sept. 29, Newsom said the bill is "well-intentioned" but "does not take into account whether an Al system is deployed in high-risk environments, involves critical decision-making or the use of sensitive data. Instead, the bill applies stringent standards to even the most basic functions - so long as a large system deploys it."  SB 1047 would have made the developers of AI models liable for adopting safety protocols that would stop catastrophic uses of their technology. That includes preventive measures such as testing and outside risk assessment, as well as an "emergency stop" that would completely shut down...
