Windows users face major problems after installing the April update for Windows 11. Many computers show blue screens with error code 0x18B, called SECURE_KERNEL_ERROR. The issue started with the March patches but became widespread when the April updates arrived. Some computers restart every couple of minutes or fail to start at all.
Microsoft acknowledged these problems in a support notice. They released a fix called Known Issue Rollback that removes the problematic code. Home users will receive this fix automatically within 24 hours. People can speed this up by checking for updates several times after signing back in. The fix installs quietly without appearing in the update history.
Company administrators can push the fix through Group Policy right away. Microsoft plans to include a permanent solution in a future monthly update. Users also report that Windows Hello facial recognition and fingerprint login stopped working after updating. The temporary fix requires removing and setting up biometric credentials again.
After the April update, people might notice a new "Inetpub" folder on their C: drive. Microsoft created this folder on purpose for web-hosting features. Users should keep checking for new patches as they become available.
