When you think everything is going smoothly with setting up Windows 11, a fresh bug might confuse you and question the system’s stability. Imagine customizing the lock screen by selecting various apps to show their status when, suddenly, the Settings app starts crashing again. Some Windows 11 users are facing this reality today.

A keen Redditor revealed it; others have confirmed they also encountered such an irritating problem. The Windows 11 23H2 build bug creates considerable doubt regarding the internal workings of Microsoft’s newest OS.

Weeks after successfullyaddressing a famous VPN bug, Microsoft is once again in the bug spotlight. This problem causes the Settings app to crash when you try to change your lock screen, an unusual glitch because there isn’t any real need to regularly toggle between apps on this particular screen.

Yet, it’s worrisome because it suggests possible deeper problems related to the stability of the OS – Microsoft has not yet given any comments about this bug, so users are still unaware of where it comes from or if there’s a solution for it.

The bug found by the community highlights a bigger problem: Windows stable releases can still have bugs that impact user experience. Although insiders and beta testers anticipate encountering problems, regular users may find it surprising to encounter these glitches in what they thought was a refined product.

The recommendation for now? Avoid playing around with lock screen app settings until a fix is announced.

While waiting for some response or solution from Microsoft for this bug in Windows 11 23H2, this incident shows that software development can sometimes be unpredictable and underlines why thorough testing is so significant.

This bug may seem small in the big picture, but its implications are worrying. If a small change, like shifting lock screen apps, results in the Settings app crashing, what does it reveal about Windows 11’s strong stability?

At present, the most suitable response is to avoid triggers for this bug and be watchful for Microsoft’s updates. A solution is expected to be released quickly, restoring trust in Windows 11’s steadiness and dependability.
