    • Second authentication glitch in a month affects a subset of Windows Hello for Business users.

The article from CSO Online discusses a security update (KB5011233) released by Microsoft in March 2022, which inadvertently caused issues with Windows Hello for Business authentication. Specifically, the update led to an error (0x800704CF) that prevented users from setting up or using Windows Hello for Business on devices connected to a domain. This problem affected both on-premise and cloud-based domain environments. Microsoft acknowledged the issue and released a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) to automatically resolve the problem for most users.

The article emphasizes the importance of testing updates in a controlled environment before widespread deployment to avoid such authentication disruptions.
