Update KB5073723 breaks OpenSSH logins for users
Hallo, i found out that since i installed the KB5073723 Update on my Windows Server 2019 the integrated OpenSSH (which i use for SFTP) was no longer successully authorized Users when they try to login with WinSCP for example which worked for years. I have seen in the log that there was written "sshd: fatal: ga_init, unable to resolve user domain\\sftpuser" it seems that the "\\" is one backslash to much! After uninstalling KB5073723 and rebooting everything works as expected again! Pls. take a look and fix this bug. Thx Wolfgang
win10 system freezes with solid random color on monitor
System freezes usually 10 or 20 min after reboot and a random solid color appears on monitor. Ctrl-alt-del does not work. I power off and then reboots successfully. The system is alive with all apps working until it happens again. I looked through the event logs and did not find any applicable errors. I had to reboot several times over a 2 day period. The first time it happened I was watching youtube and when the event occurred the audio got stuck and played the same sound byte over and over again while the monitor displayed a solid color.Deleted Bit-Recovery-Key in error
I made the mistake of accidentally deleting my Bit Recovery Key and now I have no idea how to restore it. Is there anyway to maintain my microsoft account and restore the key? I would be fine with erasing the computer, as long as I can still access them from the cloud with the same microsoft account. Can anyone help?[On demand] AMA: Managing Windows updates

Account Blocked on the Feedback Hub
Everytime I log into the feedback hub with my user checklist animations. I am redirected to the url https://feedbackportal.microsoft.com/feedback/blocked/ This happens on any computer and any browser. How can I get my account unblocked? I have reached out to Microsoft support 3 times now. My latest discussion I was told to post here. I was helping users on the feedback hub for PowerPoint. I am guessing that is not something that you want others doing because you blocked me. I know that I posted some future tools that would help other users complete things they were looking for, or maybe it was because I was replying to old posts. Either way I just want to be able to help people so please unblock my account.
Windows update in settings not showing up (something went wrong. Try open settings later)
i've had this problem a while now but didnt think much of it until i needed newer versions of windows to run apps. tried many ways like resetting settings to refresh. tried pc health check, troubleshoots which gave results that the problem was no identifiable. im not sure what i should do. i am trying to update to the lastest win 10 version as my pc does not support win 11.
What Happens Outside "Active Hours?"
While looking at the features and functionality of autopatch, I'm being asked for more detailed information on behaviors related to "Active Hours", but more specifically what happens outside of active hours. (Please let me know if additional information is required to answer this) Example: It's 21:30p, the device active hours are being automatically set (05:00a to 20:00p) and a quality update is discovered and installed that requires a reboot to complete. if I'm still interacting with the host, will it try and reboot because its technically outside of active hours? Will it provide a warning or option to pause, reschedule, etc? What is the expected behavior? Does the windows host recognize that activity is occurring and wait until a specific point in time outside of active hours? How best can I explain what happens outside of active hours to the rest of the team so they will better understand expected behaviors? Thank you in advance,
