The traditional monthly patch for Windows 10 has caused problems again. If in January it was about "blue screens," Wi-Fi disconnections, and so on, the current update numbered KB4532693 still has some issues.
It turns out that KB4532693 causes the desktop to load without icons. The Start menu appears the same way. It seems that the update resets default settings by creating a temporary user profile.
The error renames the user profile in the C:Users folder, but it can be restored by editing some registry branches. You can also restart Windows at least three times or simply uninstall the update. Meanwhile , some users have completely lost their profile data. Recovering them has proven to be impossible, at least without previously created restore points.
Additionally, a series of failures were caused by patch KB4524244. The update caused boot failures on HP computers for several users. The issues seem to be related to the Sure Start Secure Boot Key Protection security system in the BIOS. If it is disabled, everything works fine. Otherwise, the OS might not boot.
The problem has been confirmed on the HP EliteBook 745 G5 with AMD Ryzen APU and the EliteDesk 705 G4 mini-PC. Conversely, there are no issues with similar Lenovo devices using the same processor. Additionally, failures have been reported on Apple computers.
According to the latest information, Microsoft the distribution of update KB4524244 for Windows 10 versions 1909, 1903, 1809, and even 1607. The timing for re-deployment has not yet been specified. It is recommended to uninstall the update.
