During the last months, we have seen how Microsoft patches for this operating system have given problems with Intel iGPUs, with the start menu and have also generated errors that have caused major failures, such as the one that produced a high use of the CPU.
It is clear that Microsoft does not finish sending the patches for Windows 10, and that the cumulative updates it releases do not get polished enough for general users. In case anyone still has doubt about this reality, we only have to see that the cumulative update of February 27, KB453599, is also causing problems with the Internet connection. on various Windows 10 computers.
Microsoft has recently confirmed that this is a bug and that it only affects, in theory, users of the May 2019 Update and November 2019 Update versions. Both versions are, curiously, the most current of Windows 10, at least until the release of the next half-yearly update, known as 20H1 and scheduled for the end of April or the beginning of May this year.
