But they also left a trail of OS and app bugs, some of which affect Windows 10 users to date. Lately, some users have been complaining about their PCs crashing on login after installing some of the June 9, 2020 updates. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue, which it attributes to the failure of the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS) file.
The Windows 10 LSASS problem
LSASS is responsible for enforcing Windows 10 security policy. The service verifies your credentials when you try logging into Windows, and it also handles password changes. Considering lsass.exe is vital to the Windows 10 sign-in process, it’s going to interfere with access to your PC if it crashes. That’s the nightmare some users are facing after installing certain Patch Tuesday updates. They have to reboot their PCs as a result. Microsoft has linked the bug to at least four different updates, namely: KB4557957: This one has had other issues before, including freezing your PC. kb4560960: It too had a couple of issues, including a now-resolved printing bug. kb4567512: Microsoft released this optional update on June 16, 2020 to fix a printing issue. Well, the update is now associated with the LSASS bug. KB4567523: Also a non-security update released to fix the printer problem. It’s a shame that there’s no ready workaround for the LSASS issue forcing users to reboot their PCs. Microsoft though said it’s developing a fix that should come out in a future update.
