Windows 10 June update could trigger unwanted restarts


Updates are supposed to be good things. They are supposed to introduce solutions to problems, close security vulnerabilities, introduce new features and improve existing ones. But it seems that Microsoft’s Windows updates have been quite problematic, and the last June update for Windows 10 is one of them.

According to Microsoft, they have confirmed that a problem that some users might experience in the Windows 10 June update is that it could cause their systems to crash and restart their computers. The company claims that this is due to a flaw in the application of the Subsystem Service of the Local Security Authority.

“The Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) file (lsass.exe) may fail on some devices with the error message: ‘A critical system process, C: WINDOWS system32 lsass.exe, failed with status code c0000008. The machine should now restart. “ Unfortunately, there is still no workaround for this issue, but Microsoft claims they are working to fix it in an upcoming release.

This means that if you have updated Windows 10 June Update there is a chance that you might encounter this problem. While being forced to restart your machine may seem annoying, at least it doesn’t seem to cause any lasting damage. For those who work offline, you may want to make sure to constantly save your work so you don’t lose your progress in the event of an accident.
