Is it safe now?

[Squal121582]

Hi everyone, I am back to pc gaming after quite some time. I have win 10 on one PC and win11 on the other pc.
I have heard of all the recent problems with windows updates ( ssd getting killed, some sort of restarting issues) and I am really confused and out of my league here. Is it safe to just turn on my pc and play some games?
What should I do here?
Thx in advance guys.

Hey there, welcome to the forums!

This past Friday I performed a full upgrade from Windows 10 to Windows 11. I did a clean install, not keeping any data from Win10 and allowed the installation program to wipe my drive clean.

I had no issues at all with getting the installation complete. However, as soon as I got to desktop, one of the first things I did was roll back the update, and once that was complete I disabled auto-updates for 5 weeks just in case.

The main issue is when reading/writing ~50GB or more, typically downloading and installing large files. Gaming shouldn't be affected, just don't download any large games for now. I would still recommend to roll back the update. The update causing the issue is KB5063878 so just uninstall that one for now. It only takes a few minutes and a restart to roll back.

So far, no official fix or new update has been sent out. I think this is the best course for now.
