Microsoft Windows 11 Emergency Update: The Fix Is Here
Microsoft has mentioned that the new update brings security fixes and improvements over the January 13, 2025 security update and the out-of-band update from January 17, 2026.”
One of these updates made millions of Windows PCs unusable while some noticed their systems shutting down. Many users noticed that post installing the Windows 11 January 2026 update their system was only rebooting after clicking on the shut down button.
The company was serious about fixing the issue which seems to have affected the enterprise bunch mostly. However, Microsoft assures the bug did not have a major impact for its user base and only a small section were facing the issue. So, in case you haven’t noticed any of these problems with your PC, you can avoid installing this update.
The wide range of issues faced by Microsoft users this month suggests the company has to plan its rollout much better and also ensure that none of these lapses affect the users.
The concerns for the company don’t end there. The Indian government has warned about security issues with Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel and PowerPoint that are used by millions.
The Indian Computer Emergency Response Team or CERT-In is the source of the alert once again and in January 2026 it is notifying all the users who could become an easy target for the hackers if the issues are exploited. The new alert comes with a high severity rating which immediately makes it worth your attention.
