I see that I'm not the only one having this issue.
what I am missing is any feedback from Microsoft 

please come with a solution 

This is happening to our Lenovo P14 fleet as well , we have been uninstall updates as a temporary fix since January which is not sustainable, bios, driver updates doesn't work, disabling fast start doesn't work either, this is a high priorty issue that needs to be fixed 

I have Lenovo ThinkPad E15 and facing the same issue. If anyone has any solution please let me know.
Thanks in advance for your help.

I have same weird freezes with a HP Victus 16 Laptop (Ryzen 7840HS, 4070m). 

Not sure if it's another hardware defect (I actually had to replace the motherboard once due to freezes, but everything ran perfectly for over three months). These freezes seem different because before, nothing worked at all, and gaming was impossible. Now it freezes sporadically (the mouse and input stop responding, and then Windows is completely unresponsive, although video and streaming often continue). All the latest updates are installed (as of March 12, 2026). I haven't checked KB5077241 yet, as recommended here. I'll do that soon.

I am still having these problem anyone find the solition?

It is more than 4 days since the last freeze. I installed the optional KB5077241 and also set "screen off time" (sorry for probably wrong label, we have Windows in Czech language) in power management to one hour. If it really helped (we will see after a few more days/weeks) my guess is the screen-off change.

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 24H2 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 ....

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?

Any other updates on this are highly apricated

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.

highly apricated

We have the same issue with multiple Lenovo ThinkPad E14 Gen 2 across the organization (more than 10 cases reported). All of them are on Windows 11 25H2 with the latest updates and drivers. What I noticed is that it happened more frequently on the battery and when the laptop is left unattended, even for 2 minutes. I assume the freeze occurs when the laptop is trying to enter sleep state or turn the screen off on timeout due to inactivity. I tried to uninstall the January 2026 update (KB5074109), install out-of-band update KB5077744, and finally, when the February 2026 update KB5077181 was released, I installed it over KB5074109 - none of this worked. What worked well: a system restore to a point before the KB5074109, but unfortunately, most laptops don't have such a restore point.

Additionally, I installed the February 2026 update on the laptop, which does not have the January 2026 update - no freezes within 1 day, but I keep watching.

The issue started appearing just after the January 2026 update, happening randomly, and only on ThinkPad E14 laptops. We have other laptop models - they are working fine.

I am ready to collect/provide any logs, try workarounds, and support in any way to find the solution.

Asking Microsoft to pay attention to this issue.
