Win 11 KB5034204 System Update Causing File Manager and Taskbar to Crash
Something went wrong with the latest Windows 11 update released by Microsoft on the 11th. The KB5034204 update is causing the taskbar and file manager to crash, according to foreign media reports. Some users have also reported that the update cannot be installed successfully, displaying a message that says “Something didn’t go as planned. No need to worry — undoing changes” when reaching 100% completion.
The KB5034204 update is an optional update aimed at improving the performance of Bluetooth headsets and enabling PCs to answer calls via Bluetooth. However, many users are experiencing issues with the update, leading to desktop icons becoming unresponsive, the taskbar disappearing, and the Start menu failing to pop up after installation.
Microsoft has not yet addressed the reported problems, and affected users are advised not to attempt to install the update until the issues are resolved. The company has not provided a timeline for when a fix can be expected.
For now, users are encouraged to hold off on installing the KB5034204 update until Microsoft acknowledges and resolves the reported issues. In the meantime, affected users can visit Windows user forums to find potential workarounds and updates on the situation.
