In some cases, the update leads to the appearance of a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). There have also been cases of general system slowdown, sound glitches, problems with the Start menu, and disappearance of tabs in Explorer and network connections, while access to the Internet disappeared sometime after installation. There are also complaints about computers not starting after the update. 

Gamers have been complaining about performance in games, especially Starfield. One of the victims notes: 

After uninstalling the update, Starfield worked fine.

Judging by the reviews, the problem is not related to Nvidia’s GeForce drivers, as initially believed. Users note that problems exist even if the driver has not been updated.
