I've had issues with update "KB5036893" as well.... I literally wasted like 6 hours today finally finding the option to uninstall latest quality update in advanced boot options... It made it so my taskbar stopped working (It was gone with a loading symbol when you hover the mouse over where the taskbar should be) and I could not access my settings app to access any recovery options or anything. I also could not load firefox to browse the internet. This update essentially broke my PC!!! BEWARE!!!!
KB5036893 update issues
Files and folders on the desktop stopped opening after clicking. They open eventually but after a long delay of 5 minutes!
After that, everything goes back to normal.
So now after booting the computer I have to wait 5-10 minutes for it to work?

2024-04-11T19:59:44+00:00 I also had a computer have issues with this update KB5036893
The computer started becoming unresponsive and the drives started lagging behind so much the CPU went idle and the computer had to be powered off manually.
As soon as it was restarted it tried to auto install this update again and the same thing happened 4 more times.
After that I disabled the updates for as long as possible. But this is extremely unusual. I think this update needs to be moved to optional until this issue is resolved.

2024-04-11T13:42:10+00:00 I have had issues with this patch as well. It rebooted my machine 3 times, and my colleague, 6 times, he had to uninstall it.
Is this a known issue?

2024-04-15T14:10:19+00:00 I have a problem with update (KB5036893) where it downloads and starts installing then just fails.
There have been other updates like security updates that completed successfully when I checked again today, so the problem is not with the updater itself.
I've also downloaded the standalone update but the same happens.
