Windows 11 update fixes a problem that caused the PC to take up to 40 minutes to boot.
This week update KB5012643 has been made available by Microsoft as an optional update for the Windows 11 operating system. It fixes a number of bugs, including one that caused the operating system to take up to 40 minutes to start up, which is now fixed.
According to Microsoft's support site, Windows 11 version 22000.652 is the new version of Windows 11. In addition to fixing bugs, with slow boot being the most common one, the update also makes it easier for the company to update parts of the Secure Boot feature, making it easier for them to do so. Users who want to get the update for Windows 11 can now do so through Windows Update now. You can download the update manually if you want to install it on a lot of computers at the same time. To do this, go to this link.
Keep in mind that the update is optional. If your computer is not affected by some of the bugs that were fixed by the KB5012643 update, it is better to wait until Microsoft releases its monthly updates on May 10th, so that you don't have to deal with any kind of surprise.

Can't really compare an OS for Mac's and Chromebooks up against an OS for the larger variety of PC's...
There is no way MS can test their OS up against all the different configurations people might have.
As for the more critical bugs that are enterprise related, sure more testing could be done, but at the same time nor Apple nor Google has any alternatives spanning over so many enterprise related features either.
Btw. didn't Apple release an update in recent times that screwed over older MacBooks?
The closest option would be some of the more complex Linux distributions, but even there it is pretty hard to test thoroughly up against every possible combination before release.

Everyone here: Glad I'm not on Windows 11.
Me who reads the actual patch change logs: Occurs on Windows 10 and Windows 11 only for Point of Sale terminals.
Addresses an issue in which certain Point of Sale terminals experience occasional OS startup delays during restart of up to 40 minutes.

It definitely seem a tad longer for me too. I did not time it but i would be surprised if mine is not longer since i upgraded. At time i'm like will it boot? Is it corrupted? Windows 10 was almost instant.

Except that the same issue exists with 20H2.
You should also be happy that some of us test the OS that you are going to use in the future, if no one did there would be no new features and bug fixes.
It has always been like this, with any OS.
The quote on the main page is what all tech sites posted, getting more background information and research around the issue takes time, probably more than HH can afford to use on his own, but at least we have Gurus that can add more information regarding the issue.
Doubt that there is any intentional clickbait behind it.
Well lol... i'd be happy if microsoft tested their products more thouroghly before releasing them. Microsoft is a fair bit worse than apple and google in this regard imo.
