Microsoft pauses Windows 11 patch for Dell PCs after update clash triggers shutdowns
Microsoft has halted the June 2026 KB5101650 Windows 11 security update on certain Dell devices after the June 23 preview update (KB5095093) caused a conflict between the Windows USB-C Connection Manager and the Intel IPF Processor Participant driver, leading to unexpected shutdowns, reduced performance, extra heat, and battery drain. Dell flagged the incompatibility during testing; Microsoft will stop pushing KB5101650 to affected systems and plans a fix in the coming days.
