Following the installation of the patch, some apps no longer open or crash. The problem would be related to specific components of .NET Framework 3.5. The update also affects system backup using the function Backup and Restore. Safe mode is also having issues, but Microsoft was able to use the feature Known Issue Rollback (KIR) to undo that part of the fix and the problem should fix itself automatically if it hasn’t already.
