Recently, Microsoft released emergency patches to fix issues introduced by a massive September patch update that fixed nearly 1,000 flaws in Windows 11. The patches, reported by Tom's Guide and TechSpot, address problems with Remote Desktop, USB audio, and Hyper-V issues. However, some issues remain unresolved, including AMD Radeon crashes and Explorer failing to load.
In other news, a loophole has been discovered that allows users to avoid requiring a Microsoft account to use the Home edition of Windows 11. According to The Register Science and The Register, the workaround involves clicking a "Learn more" hyperlink during the Out-of-Box Experience (OOBE) setup process, allowing users to skip prompting for a Microsoft account.
