Another day, another Windows 10 fails. Microsoft has recognized another major issue affecting Windows 10 PCs as it releases its June 2020 cumulative update. The update is causing a critical issue leading to unwanted (and seemingly random) automatic restarts, often with little warning.
The latest KB4557957 or KB4560960 updates are intended to patch several of these issues, but it appears they are causing almost as much trouble as the buggy system updates they were intended to fix.
According to Recently updated Microsoft documentationThe problem is related to failures in the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) file (lsass.exe), which generates an error message.
On those computers affected by the error, you will find the following message: “A critical system process, C: WINDOWS system32 lsass.exe, failed with status code c0000008. The machine should now restart. “
The result is an unexpected restart that not only prevents work during the restart process, but can erase unsaved data and even leave a machine unusable for an extended period of time.
According to the latest documentation, “Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.” Translation: There is still no good solution.
How to fix automatic restarts of Windows 10
Until Microsoft has a solution, the only way to fix this problem is to uninstall the offending updates. This can be done in the Update & Security menu found in the Settings of your Windows PC.
one) Open Settings> Update & Security> “View update history”
two) Select “Uninstall updates”
3) In recent posts, look for Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4557957) or Update for Microsoft Windows (KB4560960)
4 4. Select the update and click “Uninstall”
While this issue specifically affects the latest KB4557957 or KB4560960 updates, Windows 10 has been plagued with issues since the introduction of the Windows 10 May 2020 update, which includes unwanted logouts from Google Chrome and a handful of other problems. This latest patch was the first patch since the May 2020 update was released, and was intended to solve some of these issues, but it seems like your best option is to wait until more issues are fixed.
