A new Windows 11 update has been released which fixes a major problem with the operating system, which saw some PCs taking up to 40 minutes to boot up.
Usually, Windows 11 should take a matter of seconds to load, so having to hang around for almost three quarters of an hour is unacceptable. Thankfully, the Windows 11 KB5012643 optional update should fix this issue.
As this is an optional update, it means it won’t be automatically installed, but it’s worth grabbing if your PC is taking a long time to load.
The update also includes fixes for various other problems, including incorrectly aligned video subtitles and problems resizing app windows.
It’s worth checking Microsoft’s release notes for the Windows 11 KB5012643 update, and, if an issue you’re having is listed, you’ll want to install this update.
