A recent bug in the Windows kernel has been discovered that can cause the system to become unbootable if the date and time are adjusted to a value far in the past. This bug affects both Windows 10 and 11.

What causes the problem?

The bug is related to the way Windows manages system time. When the date and time are set to a very old value, the system can become confused and unable to determine the correct time. This can lead to various problems, including:

• System fails to boot
• Application errors
• Data corruption

How to avoid the problem?

The best way to avoid this problem is to avoid changing the date and time in Windows. If you need to adjust the time, do so carefully and avoid going too far back in time.

What to do if the problem has already occurred?

If you have already changed the date and time and your system is now blocked, there are a few things you can try:

• Restore your system to a previous point: If you have a system restore point created before you changed the date and time, you can restore your system to that point.
• Use the Advanced Startup Tool: The Windows Advanced Startup Tool offers various options for troubleshooting boot problems. You can try using the "Startup Repair" option to fix the bug.
• Reinstall Windows: If other solutions fail, you may need to reinstall Windows.

Recommendations:

• It is recommended to keep Windows up to date. Microsoft has released an update that fixes this bug in Windows 10 and 11.
• If you need to change the date and time, do so carefully and avoid going too far back in time.
• If you have any questions or need help, please contact Microsoft support.

• This bug was first reported in January 2023.
