Emergency shutdown fix doesn't actually fix shutdown

Four days after January’s Patch Tuesday broke shutdown and hibernation on Secure Launch systems, Microsoft rushed out this emergency fix. It didn’t work. Administrators reported no improvement on many affected systems — PCs still restarted instead of shutting down, laptops still cooked in bags. The Remote Desktop authentication fix was equally hit-or-miss. Microsoft would need yet another emergency patch (KB5078132) a week later, which also wouldn’t fully resolve it. The actual fix wouldn’t arrive until February’s Patch Tuesday, a full month after the original break.
