Emergency anti-cheat fix causes boot loops and more chaos

June’s Patch Tuesday (KB5060842) broke Easy Anti-Cheat, killing online gaming. Microsoft rushed out emergency patch KB5063060 to fix it. The emergency patch introduced boot loops, installation failures, Bluetooth devices not being recognized, taskbar freezes and corruption, graphical glitches, game crashes, and Windows Explorer crashes. PCWorld’s headline said it all: “Windows 11’s emergency June update causes even more bugs and chaos.” The fix was worse than the disease, which was itself caused by a previous fix. It’s fixes all the way down.
