    Very annoyed at the moment. I've moved all PCs in our domain to the latest (January 2021 Cumulative Update), except for two PCs that run AMD Ryzen 7 chips, which BSOD with "bad pool error" after install and then automatically roll back the update. Anyone else having issues with the update (KB4598242)? The only other time I've run into this problem with cumulatives was with a laptop (also running Ryzen 7) and after ensuring all drivers were up to date, the stupid cumulative still would not install! Ended up having to reinstall Windows to get that one going several months ago. What a PIA!

    As I type into the search bar, the Search box opens up black with no search response. Worked perfectly before this update was installed. Uninstall this update and only this kb and search working correctly and perfectly immediately with no other changes whatsoever.

    In what way does it break the File Explorer search function. Just tried mine and it seems to work as before.

    You may need to report back in the Feedback Hub.

    Yet another update that breaks the built-in search operation.

    This update Jan 12th 2021 - KB4598242 totally kills windows search so have had to uninstall it and block it from update.
