Has the Windows 10 KB5063709 Update Caused Bugs or Performance Issues?

[WalterWah]

After installing the windows 10 kb5063709 update, I noticed slower boot times and minor glitches. Is anyone else experiencing similar problems, or are there known fixes? I’m debating whether to uninstall it or wait for a patch.

I'm seeing the same thing. It appears to have reset some registry values of the Page File of some users. Optimize your virtual memory settings- my settings were reduced by half due to the update which resulted in severe stuttering in games and slow application load times. Immediately setting it to "System Managed" has solved the sluggishness.

End of life Windows 10 Welcome. Microsoft is merely throwing these updates out there to get ready to have the 2026 cutoff, and they evidently are no longer testing them on aged equipment. It is not bug, it is a hint, that it is time to purchase a Windows 11 machine.

In fact, there is an obstruction that is proven to occur upon this update, a non-functional Reset this PC. The August security fixes even forced Microsoft to release an out-of-band emergency patch (KB5074976) as the fixes in the operating system interfered with NTFS permissions in the System32 folder. When the bugs are bothering you, then it is likely that you are experiencing those permission shifts against your drivers.

Be careful with an AMD graphics card. I applied KB5063709 and my Adrenalin drivers simply died. I was forced to do a complete DDU (Display Driver Uninstaller) wipe in Safe Mode and reinstall 25.8.1 to ensure that my games do not crash anymore. It is as though the update and the driver are having a battle over who is in charge of the hardware acceleration.

Wait you guys can actually install it? Mine reaches 7 percent, and then goes into a loop back into a black screen of ten minutes before rolling itself back. I have used the DISM and the SFC /scannow commands to no avail. Now I am taking a 35-day hiatus in updates, and hopefully, the next update is not going to be such a dumpster fire.

It is an obligatory security patch since it fixes a zero-day vulnerability and nearly 130 other vulnerabilities. Getting rid of it may resolve the boot speed issue but you are inviting trouble around your front door. The first thing to do is to turn off Fast Startup in the power options; it should fix the slow boot time most of the time after a significant build jump such as 19045.6216.

My laptop was also having the high CPU Antimalware Service Executable havoc. I discovered that it would take about an hour to index whatever the update made changes to and then it would return to normal. It is irritating though it appears to be a one-time indexing tax on the new security hooks.

LOL at all people who are trying to correct it. I only recently switched to Linux Mint last month, and it makes me so glad that I do not have to decode KB numbers anymore as it seems like a senior hieroglyph anymore. May the black screens go well, though!

There is a particular bug that the ESU (Extended Security Updates) wizard crashes on people who are attempting to enroll as far back as 2026. In the event that you do not care about the $30 subscription to ESU, you can literally disregard a few of the "Enroll Now" pop-ups that this update imposes upon your sidebar. At this point it is just bloatware.

Ensure that you are not using SSD with phison controller. On certain forums there have been reports that this particular update is somehow incompatible with these particular NAND controllers that will result in the black screen of death during the reboot phase. In case your BIOS fails to recognize the drive at all even after the update, you may require an update to your firmware on your SSD.
