Notice: Issues with Windows updates for February

We have been made aware of an issue with two of the updates pushed out by Microsoft as part of the February update package. These updates, Windows 10 KB5034763 and Windows 11 KB5034765, can cause the Windows taskbar, Start menu, and Search function to be solid grey, or not show up at all. 

The UAS Helpdesk recommends not installing these specific updates at this time. Microsoft has not yet determined a timeline for a resolution.
