Some Windows 10 users are experiencing serious issues after the release of the recent 'KB5001330' update, and some reports even state that the update itself cannot be installed on some machines. Earlier this week, Microsoft released its new list of April 2021 updates, including Windows 10 KB5001330 for version 20H2/2004, which was a required download meant to fix issues caused by the previous update, including long-lasting issues with the printers. Windows Latest reports that various posts on its own forum and social networking sites indicate that this is a growing problem, with many users unable to install the update at all. Feedback on the issue is also available on the Windows Insider Feedback Hub, with one user saying "I'm having a persistent failure to install KP5001330 with error code 0x800f0984." This is happening on the Surface Studio 2 and Surface Pro 7. This is the second month in a row that Microsoft has been unable to push the cumulative update to my machines. Installation stops at 20%, then again at 73% (different from 40% last month), then 100%, then fails.” So far the following error messages have been reported:
- 0x800f081f
- 0x800f0984
- 0x800f0922
Game performance issues and ``blue screen of death''
In a Reddit thread about the issue, users are also reporting that video games are suffering from various issues such as graphics stuttering, large frame rate drops, and even a complete crash. The update was found to be the cause of the problem after users discovered that reverting the update restored their systems to a usable state.KB5001330 can cause a blue screen on the PC, after installing the update and restarting, then a blue screen. Unable to uninstall the update package, it seems that the operating system cannot find my SSD drive. So I went into BIOS and rebooted to the boot drive, then the update continued and it rebooted to my desktop. WTF!!! #Windows10 Apr 16, 2021 More Info "I was also having issues with this update in the form of a noticeable stutter/hitch in games where this would normally never happen, with or without vsync enabled," one user commented. "La uninstallation a également résolu le problème pour moi, et j'ai testé sur une installation distincte pour confirmer que la mise à jour était bien le coupable. Cela resemble à peu près au même probleme que le vôtre. I wait for Microsoft to examine the problem."
An old mistake makes new appearances
One real cause for concern is the reappearance of the temporary user bug that was reported in late 2020, causing saved user files and settings to disappear and forcing users to log into a guest profile. Fortunately, this appears to be a rare issue with limited reporting, and in addition to rolling back the update, you can manually move user files if necessary. Windows Latest reported that a user says: “I can't access my computer since the update. Indicates that "The User Profile service failed during logon." The user profile cannot be loaded."
