Something seems off here.

When Microsoft says "your CPU needs to be this high in order to run Windows 11", perhaps listen to them eh?

There's a Microsoft note about this issue: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/sta...

The list of affected operating systems supposedly includes Windows 10, version 22H2.

"Might"? What a weaselly way to put it. Either Windows will, or it won't. I realise there's tens of millions of LoC but if we're talking about an update that crashes machines shouldn't you know what the failure mode is before talking to the press?

When an issue is at this scale, you have to give some acknowledgment of the issue even if you don't know its cause.

Agreed, but then you'd expect a behemoth like MS to respond that they're aware, working on finding cause for the issue and releasing a fix. What they did here is throw out a 'maybe it'll fix itself'.
