Please do not install Windows 11 KB5043145. This month’s optional update is a disaster, and some of you may not be able to boot to the desktop after the September 2024 optional update. Many users reached out to Windows Latest with reports of a “Blue Screen of Death” and even a “Green Screen of Death,” and Microsoft has confirmed the reports.

KB5043145 is not a mandatory release, so it’s not supposed to start downloading on its own, but some people alleged that it started installing automatically. Either way, it’s causing a lot of problems. First and foremost, Windows 11 KB5043145 could cause a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) and a Green Screen of Death (GSOD).

After installing the update, some of you might either get stuck in a boot loop or fail to boot altogether. When this happens, your device will automatically enter the recovery (advanced startup screen) to repair or roll back the update.

This issue particularly affects the Asus TUF A15 (2022) and ROG Strix G17 (2024) laptops, but I don’t think it’s limited to these two specific models, and neither does Microsoft.
