KB5077181 was released about a month ago as part of the February Patch Tuesday rollout. When the update first arrived, users reported a wide range of problems, including boot loops, login errors, and installation issues.
Microsoft has now acknowledged another problem linked to the same update. Some affected users see the message “C:\ is not accessible – Access denied” when trying to open the system drive.
I have no scientific sources I can point to to back it up. A hunch is what it is, ultimately. It seems true to me, but I suppose I could be wrong. I suspect it’s difficult to really prove this one way or the other.
Can you imagine if heartbleed happened today? Everyone would just assume it was AI immediately lol.
But yeah, it would pretty difficult to know for sure, it was funny at first but at this point it’s just annoying because a bunch of people who know literally nothing about programming just assume it was an AI fuckup when I’ve been using buggy software my entire life already lmfao
