Microsoft has issued a fix for a long-standing bug in Windows 11 that has been causing annoyance and confusion among users since March. The bug, which appeared with the March 2023 cumulative update for Windows 11 22H2, caused an error message to pop up, falsely indicating that the Local Security Authority (LSA) protection was switched off and potentially leaving devices vulnerable.
Despite a previous attempt to resolve the issue with a patch released in May (KB5007651), which unfortunately caused other problems with drivers and PC games, the bug persisted. Now, Microsoft has released a new version of the patch (Version 1.0.2306.10002) that seems to have successfully resolved the problem.
The error messages about vulnerability, accompanied by yellow triangle warnings, caused unnecessary panic and concern among users, especially those who are less tech-savvy. The repeated appearance of the warning messages made the situation more frustrating. While Microsoft had advised users to ignore the messages, not everyone might have seen this guidance.
With the latest fix, users can check for updates under Windows Update to receive the new version of the patch (KB5007651). Although the previous attempt was not successful, users are hoping that this second fix will indeed resolve the issue permanently.
This bug has been one of the more embarrassing episodes in the history of Windows 11 bugs, and Microsoft will undoubtedly be eager to put it behind them. With the issue now seemingly resolved, users can expect a smoother and error-free experience with Windows 11.
