🔴 Microsoft: Recent Windows updates cause desktop loading issues

Microsoft has confirmed that some users may experience desktop loading issues, including black screens, after installing the August 2026 preview updates and subsequent updates.

However, the company says this mainly affects Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) hosts using FSLogix (a software solution that speeds up user profile loading in virtual desktop environments).

Windows users affected by this known issue may experience multiple symptoms. The most common symptoms include a black screen after sign-in, so users can't access their desktop until they start the desktop session manually, and application event logs showing Windows Explorer crashes.
