Yesterday I decided to reset my machine and wipe out every app to see if a complete reinstall of Windows 11 would fix my issue of spinning circle after updates. It didn't work and I got the infinite spinning circle once again when the system rebooted during the update. To be clear, this is only happening with cumulative updates starting in August 2022 (i.e. KB5016629, KB5016691... till KB5018418 which just came out a couple of days back). It's either related to some driver or some other strict requirement within the UEFI BIOS. With no peripherals connected, the only thing left is the MB and the drivers associated with the MB hardware. They were all working fine until KB5015882 (July 2022) but for some odd reason some Microsoft bug is affecting my system. I've also seen reports of other people having update issues. Granted this problem doesn't affect every machine, it's still causing issues. My MB is a Gigabyte Z390 UD Rev 1.1 and has the latest F10 BIOS. I've run Intel Driver & Support Assistant and verified that all my drivers are up to date. My suspicion is that MS cum updates starting in August 2022 are buggy and are not playing nice with many systems out there. Appreciate a response from anyone out there having similar issues to mine.
