    I have a desktop and a laptop. Action Center wouldn't stay open on either machine after this update. On both machines, I did:

    • Settings
    • Update & Security
    • View update history
    • Uninstall updates

    This lands you in the "Uninstall an update" detail. I selected the update then clicked "Uninstall". After the machines rebooted, the update no longer appeared in the "Uninstall an update" detail, but still appears in "View update history". This routine cured Action Center on my desktop, but not on my laptop.

    Seems that after this update the following 2 issues are happening:

    1. If I have all open applications minimized and I press the Windows Key for the start menu, the menu opens but is not focused, so I still have to click the menu to focus on it. My usual activity is to press the windows key, type the name of an application, and hit enter if it finds it to open it.
    2. Taskbar crashing randomly when trying to shift to another application. Hard to judge exact steps to reproduce but has crashed several times over the last few days since update. It then refreshes the screen and the taskbar.

    Not sure how to get support to notice this. Hoping this reply does!

    Since installing KB5005033 on Friday, the 13th of August (oh, hell, THAT'S my problem - why did I ever install anything from Microsoft on Friday the 13th???), I have periodically had a black screen appear. That's it - no blue screen of death, just a hung machine that I have to hard reboot by holding the power button down until it powers off, and then turning it on again. It's an HP Pavillion laptop x360, with 8 Gb ram:

    with Windows specs thus:

    Edition Windows 10 Pro

    Version 21H1

    Installed on ‎2020-‎09-‎15

    OS build 19043.1165

    Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 120.2212.3530.0

    Is anyone else experiencing this?
