That was the straw the broke the camel's back for me. I am not writing this from Fedora 43 Kinoite, rebased with Aurora (so that I can't mess it up unintentionally). Bye bye Windows. We had a good time.

This Article FAILS to mention that Users can Rollback KB5074109 and still get the latest Security updates (if using Microsoft Security Tools) by visiting the Microsoft website hosting the latest Security Changes and Downloads. Be a Better Journalist! Cheers!

None of my Windows PCs have this issue.
