Windows 10 users have been experiencing issues since the March update KB5053606 for Windows 10.
First, some users are unable to install the update from the start because the process ends with errors like 0x80070020, or it takes a long time, which is unusual for a small update that doesn’t bring any new features.
Also on social media complainthat the update is installed automatically — even if the option is disabled for systems (although it’s worth noting that KB5053606 is an important security update, so Windows 10 is entitled to install it automatically).
However, the real problems begin after the update: icons disappear from the taskbar, individual desktop settings suddenly reset to factory defaults, and Windows 10 itself slows down and has a delay when typing from the keyboard. Windows 10 PCs are also experiencing problems with printers — similar to those of users with the Windows 11 update
«Our customers received KB5053606 yesterday and most of them stopped working properly after rebooting. The print spooler has many issues such as slow boot, application crashes, and no access to Citrix», — quotes Windows Latest words of one of the users.
Microsoft is still recognized only problems with printers and Citrix, advising users to wait for a fix. The company did not comment on other failures.
Despite the fact that support for Windows 10 will end on October 14, 2025, the previous version of the OS is still more popular than Windows 11 — 58.7% vs. 38.13% of users, according to Statcounter. Recently, Microsoft sent emails to some Windows 10 users reminding them of the end of support and giving them an ambiguous a hint of where you can send your old PCs.
