Summary created by Smart Answers AI

In summary:​

  • PCWorld reports that Windows 11 update KB5077181 is causing critical boot loops and login failures for users after installation.
  • The problematic February update triggers endless restart cycles with various error codes including SENS, DHCP, and 0x800f0983 errors.
  • Users can resolve issues by uninstalling KB5077181 through Control Panel and pausing automatic updates until Microsoft releases an official fix.

A few days ago, Microsoft released update KB5077181 for Windows 11 (both 24H2 and 25H2). Now, some reports (via Neowin) are emerging that the new version is causing boot problems for users. The critical startup problems appear to occur immediately after installation, causing those affected to end up in an endless loop of restarts.

In some cases, a SENS error message (System Event Notification Service) error appears. This usually means that the system can’t interact with the service due to missing data or network problems. Other users are seeing error codes 0x800f0983 and 0x800f0991.


Some users, on the other hand, report that their systems display a DHCP error due to a missing connection or an invalid IP address, even though they’re connected to the internet. There are numerous problems with the patch that can’t yet be clearly explained.

What you can do about it​

There’s currently no fix from Microsoft and the boot problems aren’t listed in the list of known issues with the update. Since users are unable to log in even after several loops, some have tried to reset their systems via recovery mode—to varying degrees of success.

If you can, uninstall the update via Control Panel > Programs > View Installed Updates and selecting KB5077181. After that, you must still suspend automatic updates by Microsoft by navigating to Settings > Windows Update > Pause Updates. Otherwise, the update may be reinstalled and cause problems again.

My hot take is windows has been rolling out shitty updates since Vista. Xp was pretty bad too but Vista was far worse.
 
Monopolies are so great right fellas? I mean it's not like the only (major) business operating in a field can hire hordes of 65 IQ streetshitters who fuck everything up leading to cascading failures all in the cause of squeezing an extra 7 cents into the quarterly growth report, right boys?!?!

What isn't written by AI is relegated to caste basted discrimination for the programming languages. Dalits get assigned C++, pure Brahman saars get python.

If you ever wondered why Windows is so awful, consider that they have so many Indians that "Microsoft faces allegations of caste-based discrimination"

"Higher castes are assigned Python"
"Lower castes are relegated to C++"

70-80% of Microsoft consists of Indian H1B workers and they are all pushing up to 30% AI code straight to production 💀

"hindsight is 20/20" but tbh you literally could have seen it coming from a mile away 💀

You know what? This is a good thing. Now people will be able to see what happens when tech companies are run by AI and Indians just to save money. These are your replacements unless you do something about it.
 
I wish every windows 11 user a giant fuck you lmao, win 10 chads (and linux) stay winning.
 
Linux chads stay winning. Did you know that not only did the percentage of Linux installs rise, but for the first time ever the newest Windows distro has seen their numbers shrink instead of grow?

Yes and they are proud of that.
 
I had still been using Windows 10, which I never liked all that much to begin with, up until a week ago. When I turned it on, I got some big install screen for Windows 11. The notices to take the free """upgrade""" had been getting more aggressive, but this was the worst and I lost it. I had been researching switching to Linux for a while but still wasn't sure, but I was just so mad I said fuck it, backed up my documents, and went for it.

My only regret is that I didn't do it sooner. All my productivity stuff works fine, all of my games work fine (trying to install Battle.net was going poorly until I realized I could install it via Steam) and some of them even run faster than before. I know some games with aggressive anti-cheat software won't work, so if anyone else is considering the switch, check that first. I'm very much in the honeymoon phase and will probably run into some difficulties at some point, but at the moment my computer is faster, more secure, and I couldn't be happier to be done with Microjeet.

I was thinking more along the lines of endless rows of jeets, like the proverbial infinite monkeys with infinite typewriters, but instead of reproducing every work of Shakespeare after a given amount of time, it’s just jeetslop vibecode ad infinitum until the eventual heat death of the universe.

There's a reason they're called "Programmer socks", after all.
 
At some point, reverting to 'outdated' versions of Windows will be a superior choice compared to updating. Windows XP is damned solid even to this day.
