Facing Issues After Recent Windows 11 Updates: Should I Downgrade?
Asked by
TechWhiz23
I'm having significant trouble with my Cyborg 15 A13V after updating to KB5077181 on Windows 11 (Version 25H2). Each update seems to worsen the situation. I'm considering downgrading to a previous version—any recommendations if that's the right move?
Answers
Downgrading might not be the best solution, especially for Windows 11 on a Cyborg 15. Usually, issues after updates are related to drivers or BIOS settings rather than the version itself. I recommend checking the MSI support page for your model and reinstalling the chipset and Intel ME drivers directly from there—not through Windows Update. Also, make sure to turn off MSI Center's automatic driver updates since they can sometimes introduce problems. Running 'sfc /scannow' and 'dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth' can help check for corruption in updates. If problems started after KB5077181, try uninstalling just that update first instead of rolling back the whole operating system. Lastly, ensure your BIOS is updated to benefit from system stability improvements that came with newer versions.

What specific troubles are you experiencing? That could help narrow down whether downgrading is truly necessary.
TechWhiz23: Honestly, it's a bit of everything. Programs crash frequently—I'm just trying a fresh reinstall to rule out corrupted files after KB5077181.
