in the ongoing stream of bugs from Microsoft resulting from the
Windows update process itself. This one breaks the ability to receive
further security updates. So once you get it, how do you get an update
to fix it? Particularly when there have already been updates that kept
introducing their own new bugs?

 
If you read it properly instead of skimming and then rushing to
gleefully spread the news, you'd see that it only applies to those who
installed 24H2 from media (DVD or USB) that has had Windows updates
slipstreamed into it.

  Actually it's "that has had *the wrong* Windows updates slipstreamed
into it."

  I.e. the imaginary user did the *wrong* thing and that might have led
to a problem.

  That's what you get for doing things the wrong way, isn't it!? :-)

Almost nobody does that.
