I think people should leave windows. Most people are not using software that requires Windows, and Micrslop has turned a once good, if not great operating system, into a nightmare of issues, and broken systems. From Bleeping Computer: April KB5083769 Windows 11 update causes backup software failures
This issue sounds like it probably hit corporate users more than home users, though it does impact Windows 11 Home. But my stance on Windows holds. Most people are using web browsers, word processors, and spreadsheets, and you don't need to use Windows for that.
Multiple vendors have been impacted by this change. This tells me something fundamental was changed, and API or something similar, without thought, or advanced notice. But mostly without thought. Changes were made to Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS), which was introduced in 2003 to make sure that backups worked.
The list of software impacted by this known issue includes, but is not limited to, products from Acronis (Cyber Protect Cloud), Macrium (Reflect), NinjaOne Backup, and UrBackup Server.
Acronis has also published a support document confirming that the issue affects Windows 11 Pro and Home editions, causing backup operations to fail.
At least there is a fix, and you can click thru for that, and more technical details on the issue.
This kind of thing is becoming so common on Windows, it is hard to decide what, if any, quality control is being done. If they had done any testing around this feature, they would have discovered the impact to 3rd party software. Maybe they just don't care about quality anymore.
I have tried to avoid Microsoft, but they keep doing stupid stuff.
