Windows 11's KB5120998 optional update is breaking custom cursors and resetting wallpapers to black. Here's why you should hold off for now.

    I’m so glad my win 10 rig stopped working and my son fixed it with a Linux os. Hopefully I’ll never have to update windows again, only wine 🍷. Never going back if i can help it! Never even got to experience the pleasure of win 11 lol

      Several Windows 11 updates are great, actually. They corrupted the OS and made it unable to boot, which given it’s Windows, not booting makes the experience better.

    They have the wallpaper locked at work somehow. Thanks for the reminder I need to stylise my cursor again. Black with green border.

    At home, I’ve been Windows free for a few years now.

    I have a duel boot setup and it’s been a year since I had to boot into Win11. Seriously concerned with what is going to happen when I have to use it.

    Can’t skip the update if you don’t have any Windows installations.

        If it was Windows Mint, a random update wouldn’t be breaking everything.

    This is the Preview channel update. People that opted into it should anticipate issues.

      No it isn’t. I have a secondary Windows machine and I got that update without being on any insider channel.

        Preview is not Insider. You have to manually select Preview channel updates.
