But if your home computer was affected, it could require a bit of hoop jumping to apply it, because of course, without an IP address, you can\u2019t connect to the internet to get the new fix.<\/p>\n<p>The easiest solution in that case would be to download it from another machine, put the fix on a jump drive, then load it onto the affected machine to fix the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Unfortunately, a few users on Reddit have confirmed that in some cases, the latest fix doesn\u2019t solve connectivity issues in 100{7e4ee7cd997d36f6dec43befd6b19c37edf0959bbf61766e988f901dd91e96d7} of cases.<\/p>\n<p>It is unclear why, and Microsoft is continuing to research the issue. Microsoft will release additional updates as needed in order to completely resolve this issue.<\/p>\n<p>From a business perspective, it\u2019s generally not as big a problem as it is for home users, because it\u2019s likely that not all of your devices get updates on the same schedule. So if you have a machine that\u2019s impacted, there\u2019s probably another machine nearby you can use to quickly fix the problem.<\/p>\n<p>Even so, it\u2019s something to be mindful of in the days and weeks ahead until Microsoft fixes all instances of the bug.<\/p>\n<p>This underscores a problem that\u2019s becoming increasingly common in the world of software. As the level of complexity continues to increase, even small changes and fixes to one area can have unintended consequences.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Microsoft made a mistake, and it could complicate your life.
