Microsoft released out-of-band updates for Windows 11, Windows Server 2022, Windows 10 and other client and server versions of Windows on January 17, 2022.

Microsoft acknowledged that the January 2022 security updates were causing issues, especially on Windows Server systems.

Windows Update breaking VPN connections was one of the main issues affecting users.

Tip: check out our known issues overview for Windows 11, which we update regularly.

The out-of-band updates address several issues in client and server versions of Microsoft's Windows operating system.

KB5010795 for Windows 11 is already available via Windows Update, as a direct download, and WSUS (by importing it).

The update fixes the following two issues:.

The update addresses four issues in total:.

KB5010796 for Windows Server 2022 is available via Windows Update, as a direct download from the Microsoft Update Catalog, and as an import via WSUS.

The update fixes four issues, two of which are also fixed in Windows 11's update described above, and all four are also fixed in Windows 10's update?

KB5010790 for Windows 10 version 1607 and Windows Server 2016 -- fixes the same four issues that the Windows Server 2022 update fixes.

Unfortunately for Microsoft, the programmers that could fix the defective Windows Updates issued on Tuesday, January 11th, were out sick to avoid being fired for being unvaccinated for Covid-19 due to Biden’s OSHA Vaccination Mandate that took effect on Monday, January 10th for all private employers with 100 or more employees.

Since only the incompetent SJW programmers that got jabbed were working, the defective updates were not fixed, and Microsoft refused to acknowledge the problem on their “known issues” (kinda like burying you head in the sand and pretending the problem didn’t exist).

So now the defective Windows Updates could be fixed.

They also released updates for Windows 7 SP1 and Server 2008 R2.
