Overview

• The KB5058379 update, released on May 13, 2025, addresses five zero-day vulnerabilities but has caused some Windows 10 devices to boot into BitLocker recovery or experience Blue Screens of Death (BSOD).
• Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, describing it as affecting a 'small number' of systems, and is actively investigating the root cause.
• Devices from major manufacturers, including Lenovo, Dell, and HP, have been reported as impacted, with no clear indication of specific hardware or settings causing the problem.
• Users have found temporary solutions, such as disabling Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) or Secure Boot in the BIOS, but these workarounds may compromise system security.
• With Windows 10 approaching its October 14, 2025, end-of-support date, the update highlights ongoing challenges in balancing critical security patches with system stability.
