The latest release is KB4532695, and tons of people are reporting it’s nothing but trouble.
Users have been posting issues caused by the latest update on Microsoft’s community forum. Some are saying the moment they installed the update, the speakers on their computers stopped working. Apparently, Windows no longer recognizes its speakers, which renders them useless.
Others claim the update caused connectivity problems and they aren’t able to connect to the internet. It’s doing this for both wired and Wi-Fi connections. Some who can still get online say their internet speeds have been slowed to a crawl.
