The mandatory Windows 11 KB5074109 January 2026 update caused severe frame‑rate drops, visual glitches, black screens, and even boot failures for many NVIDIA GeForce users, and the only confirmed remedy so far is to uninstall the update or apply the optional KB5074105 patch.
A developer wrote an UPDATE statement that unintentionally used AND inside the SET clause and omitted a WHERE clause, causing MySQL to silently update every row in the table without raising any syntax errors.
