The much-anticipated update to Microsoft’s operating system, Windows 11, began rolling out late last week. With a slew of changes and new features, users were excited to see how the Windows ecosystem would be improved; however, the update has not gone entirely according to plan.
Reports have been coming in from users of the update experiencing boot failures on certain PCs. It appears that, without fail, the PCs in question crash upon startup with no indication as to why. While Microsoft has provided some potential solutions, these have not eradicated the problem entirely and experts are concerned the Windows 11 update may have caused lasting damage.
On the positive side, the corner stone upgrade of the Windows 11 update is the use of Microsoft’s AI engine, Bing, to the Windows taskbar. The integration of AI into the operating system allows for more intuitive search results and improved data access, at least for users with operating PCs.
The AI feature within the taskbar has become integral to the Windows 11 user experience. Not only can you search for items on your PC with more precision, but the results are more relevant and organized better than before. Additionally, the integration of Bing makes searching the web from within the Windows app much easier and more efficient.
Despite the introduction of the new AI feature, Microsoft has yet to address the issue of PCs failing to start up after the Windows 11 update. The company has once again gone silent on the matter, leaving users in the dark as to why their operating system is crashing.
The Windows 11 update is a contradiction of both success and failure. On the one hand, you have a major update implemented with a helpful AI feature; on the other hand, several PCs are suffering from irreparable boot failures. As the situation continues to develop, it remains to be seen whether Microsoft will come through with a viable solution to this disaster.
