At the end of February, the cumulative update KB4535996 for Windows 10 was released. And, as it turned out, this patch is guilty of a wide range of problems for some users. It was previously reported that the update leads to a “blue screen of death”, disrupts the sound in some cases, and also reduces the performance and FPS in games.
Recent data indicates that the fix also violates the power management settings, which is why users cannot put the PC to sleep. It is reported that problems are noted at least on Surface Laptop 2 and some other models. After being sent to “sleep”, the system after a while goes into active mode.
According to another user, this began to happen every two hours after installing the KB4537572 and KB4535996 updates. The problem is noted on Windows 10 Home (1909). In addition, the “nine hundred and ninety-sixth” patch can slow down the system’s boot speed, cause crashes during this, add utility problems Sign tool etc.
At the moment, Microsoft has not yet recognized the error with hibernation, so it is unclear whether the patch will be released. There are doubts about this, because update KB4535996 is optional, that is, it must be downloaded manually.
