Windows 11 24H2/25H2 System Freeze After January 2026 Updates – Lenovo ThinkPad G2

Microsoft – what is going on? Since the beginning of 2026 (presumably following update KB5074109), we have been observing a massive surge in "static freezes" across a wide range of Lenovo notebooks, including models such as the P16 Gen 2, T14 Gen 4, and T14 Gen 2a.

The devices simply freeze at random, displaying the last static image on the screen. In some cases, the system recovers after 10–20 minutes and the mouse becomes responsive again, but often hard shutdown via the power button is the only way out. This situation is extremely frustrating and is leading to significant data loss when documents are not saved prior to a freeze. For a corporate environment, this is an unacceptable and deeply unsatisfactory situation!

What we have tried so far: We have already attempted several troubleshooting steps, but the issue persists:

Firmware & Drivers: Our BIOS versions are fully up to date, as are all system drivers.

Windows Updates: All latest Windows updates have been applied. Neither the initial out-of-the-box updates nor the cumulative February update have provided any improvement.

Power Settings: Power-save mode is of ... etc ....

Questions for Microsoft:

Next Steps: What further actions can we take to mitigate or resolve this?

Root Cause: Is the January update (KB5074109) confirmed as the cause of these random static freezes?

Known Issue: Is this a known issue specifically affecting Lenovo hardware, and is Microsoft already working on a fix?
