Microsoft pulls Windows 11’s July 2026 security update on some Dell PCs after users reported severe performance and overheating issues, and unexpected shutdowns.
After KB5095093, these affected PCs may show a yellow warning icon in Device Manager and suffer from:
- Poor performance
- Unexpected shutdowns
- Higher heat
- Battery drain
The root cause is an incompatibility between the Intel driver and Microsoft’s new Windows USB-C Connection Manager interface.
Because of that, Microsoft is temporarily not offering Windows 11 KB5101650, the July Patch Tuesday update, to affected Dell systems.
That is the right call, but also a reminder of how fragile the Windows ecosystem can be.
Neither Microsoft nor Dell is sharing a list of affected devices, which makes me wonder whether they are even aware of the specific models.
The July 2026 Update for Windows 11 is critical, as it patches 570 security flaws, and Microsoft warns against deferring updates for more than 3 days.
AI efficiency starts with the right compute for the right task.
Great to see Intel Xeon 6 processors powering OCI’s hybrid CPU/GPU approach to agentic AI inference, helping organizations improve throughput and lower costs.
AI security advances when the industry builds in the open, together.
We're introducing the Open Secure AI Alliance with industry leaders to develop new techniques and tools to safeguard software and agents.
By sharing models, tooling and research in the open, we can broaden the community of defenders.
