Some machines failed to boot after installing security patches for Internet Explorer

Three days ago, Microsoft had to release an emergency patch to prevent a security hole in Internet Explorer, but sadly this update caused a series of other serious problems.

Specifically, devices running old versions of Windows 10 after updating a new fix patch prevent users from pinning web links to Start Menu or Taskbar.

In addition, this emergency patch also prevents many services from starting with the occurrence of error 2245 NERR_PasswordTooShort. The fix is that the user installs the "Minimum Password Length" policy of less than or more than 14 characters, but this is only a temporary method and cannot be resolved completely.

These two errors are still not the most serious incidents that Microsoft's emergency patch has caused. The most serious is that some Lenovo laptops have less RAM than 8GB and have installed the KB4467691 patch that cannot be started. A temporary fix is to boot the affected machines with UEFI, then disable Secure Boot and then reboot.

If your computer has BitLocker enabled, after turning off Secure Boot, you will have to go through a BitLocker recovery step. Currently, Microsoft and Lenovo are working together to find solutions.

Devices running the 1607 update, the 2016 Anniversary Update will encounter this conflict. Therefore, it is highly likely that businesses who delay Windows updates will be most affected.
