The problem with shaders is so bad that even MSoft is trying to fix it. We'll see if they can do it, tho their recent track record isn't very inspiring.

Microsoft August 2025 Update Breaks Windows Reset and Recovery Tools

A new day, a new Windows Bug. Microsoft’s August 2025 cumulative update has caused unexpected problems for Windows users, specifically with system recovery features. After applying the latest Patch Tuesday release, some people have discovered that their system reset and restore options are no longer working. In fact, Microsoft has confirmed that using these tools on certain versions of Windows can result in serious system failures that may not be repairable. The issue doesn’t affect every version of Windows, but the list of impacted builds is significant. Windows 11 users running versions 23H2 and 22H2 are included, as are those on Windows 10 version 22H2. In addition, several long-term support releases are affected, such as Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, and both Enterprise and IoT LTSC 2019 editions. What stands out is that Windows 11 version 24H2 is not impacted. Microsoft has been marketing this release as its most reliable Windows build yet, and in this case, it seems to have avoided the reset and recovery bug.
