Do you install every optional Windows Update? You might reconsider.

Microsoft was criticized in the past for slow responses to security risks. That’s part of why there are now Windows Updates at least once a month.

That’s not always good news.

According to TechRadar Windows 10 Update, KB4541335 is causing problems.

The optional update was intended to cure existing bugs. But TechRadar says users are having a variety of problems. They range from computer crashes and slow performance to the “Blue screen of death.”

I’m not being dramatic.

That’s the name of the stop error.

A few folks have complained they get an error message when trying to install the update. They’re lucky.

Microsoft says it isn’t aware of any issues with the update. If you installed the update and are having trouble you can remove it.

Open “Settings” by pressing the your keyboard or by Windows+l keys on clicking the cog in your Start Menu. Go to “Update & security” then “Windows Update” on “View update history.” the left-hand side. Select When that opens, click “Uninstall updates.” Find KB4541335 on that list, select it and click to uninstall.

Don’t see it? Good news, you didn’t download the update.

If you installed the update more than 10 days ago, Windows won’t let you remove it this way, so don’t delay.

If your computer won’t boot up normally due to the update, boot up in Safe Mode and try the above instructions.

Boot into Safe Mode by holding the F5 or F8 key when your computer tries to start. Then select Safe Mode from the boot menu.

Microsoft said it will pause all optional, non-security updates starting in May. They will continue releasing security updates.

We hope the lack of non-essential updates will keep computers stable.
