Microsoft has released emergency out-of-band (OOB) updates to address multiple issues caused by Windows Updates issued during the January 2021 Patch Tuesday.
"Microsoft is releasing Out-of-band (OOB) updates today, January 18, 2022, for some versions of Windows," the company said.
"This update addresses issues related to VPN connectivity, Windows Server Domain Controllers restarting, Virtual Machines start failures, and ReFS-formatted removable media failing to mount."
All OOB updates released today are available for download on the Microsoft Update Catalog, and some of them can also be installed directly through Windows Update as optional updates.
You will have to manually check for updates if you want to install the emergency fixes through Windows Update because they are optional updates and will not install automatically.
