Patch reliability is unclear. Unless you have an immediate, pressing need to install a specific patch, don't do it. |

Susan Bradley Patch Lady
My Windows 10 Home v22H2 (x64) laptop was updated with the Feb 2023 patches via Windows Update to current build 19045.2604 about 2 weeks ago. Patching was without any incident and the operating system has been running stable.
Just for information and may not be actually related to the windows patching. Downloaded and installed the latest Nvidia GeForce Driver 531.18 (Released : 28Feb2023) via Nvidia GeForce Experience application on 01Mar2023.
Encountered 2 separate BSODs crashes within a day (not gaming with the laptop). Reverted to the previous Nvidia GeForce Driver 528.49 via prior Macrium Reflect backup image. BSODs crashes have also been reported by others at Reddit – Game Ready Driver 531.18 FAQ/Discussion (in particular Comment 1, Comment 2 and Comment 3 ).
Hope this helps others.
