    Anyone else have an issue with Windows update KB 5053656?


    It has wiped out all my saved passwords and usernames and I can no longer print wirelessly. It also reversed the descriptions of Private and Public Network settings. I have quit using Edge because it is so bad now. I tried to uninstall it, but as soon as I do, it just wants to reinstall it. It has ruined my brand new HP Windows 11 laptop,

    :)
