Recent Windows 10 update causes PC to brick, Blue Screen of Death, and other crashes
May’s “Patch Tuesday” released by Microsoft for Windows 10 was not as secure as we would like. Users who installed the cumulative update numbered KB5026361 are actively complaining on the network about a number of errors and serious failures that have appeared.
The most serious complaints come down to two problems – the PC “turns into a brick” or issues a “Chitmouse Screen of Death” (BSoD) after an update. In particular, one of the BSoD messages is caused by a corrupted Bootcat.cache file.
Other Windows 10 users are facing a problem that is already familiar to many – a failure to install an update, often accompanied by a meaningless error code (for example, 0x800f0922).
On top of that, there are scattered complaints such as mouse settings reset, Wi-Fi stopping, taskbar freezing, and so on.
Hopefully Microsoft will look into these issues and fix them soon.

The next brainchild of Microsoft will go to rest. The company will stop supporting the Cortana app on Windows at the end of the year.
Microsoft is about to completely stop supporting the Cortana voice assistant. Already from the end of this year, support for this application will cease, although the company has not yet announced the exact date.
In general, this was more than expected, since the assistant introduced in 2015 did not gain popularity from the very beginning, and even Microsoft itself quickly stopped somehow promoting it. Now the company has unveiled the Windows Copilot tool, which will offer much the same as Cortana, only bigger and better.
Actually, in Windows 11, initially Cortana did not have any significant place and did not appear when the OS was first loaded.
However, Microsoft notes that the changes will only affect Cortana on Windows, while the assistant will still be available in Outlook Mobile, Teams Mobile, Microsoft Teams display and Microsoft Teams room.
