Microsoft released the latest Windows 10 security update KB4532693 as the Patch Tuesday update on February 11. Then some users report receiving other updates KB4524244 after installing KB4532693 which fixes the problem with the UEFI boot Manager for Windows 10 versions 1607, 1703, 1709, 1803, 1809, and 1903.
This security update makes quality improvements for the supported versions of Windows 10 that are listed in the “Applies to ” section. Major changes include the following:
Resolves an issue in which a
third-party Unified Extensible Firmware Interface (UEFI) boot manager
may expose a UEFI-enabled computer to a security vulnerability.
This
update shouldn’t come to Windows 10 version 1909 but it seems that
Microsoft is mesing it up again. Now this update KB4524244 along with
KB4532693 causes many problems as reported by users on Reddit and the
official Microsoft forums. One user reports how the update corrupts its
secure boot key and results in computer locking and installation
failure.
On reboot, my Secure Boot gives me a flag that the keys are corrupted. I can fix it and reboot into the system. I rebooted several more times but no updates were trying to install. In the third check “Check for updates, the same update (KB4524244) tries to download but freezes the system at 94% on the download. Once again a hard freeze that requires a difficult rearrangement. I tried flush the software distribution cache but got the same result.
More users are reporting experiencing problems after installing the KB4524244 update on Reddit as well.
Has anyone encountered a problem with KB4524244? Hangs and then when I force reboot, the HP BIOS says it detects unauthorized changes to the secure boot key and should restore.
