Microsoft appears to have fixed the NTFS error in Windows 10, which could lead to system crashes in Patchday (4/13/2021) with Windows 10 security updates.
Here is some information on this topic.
In the NTFS file system used by Windows 10, a vulnerability was revealed that was not revealed in January 2021. The revelation was made by @jonasLyk on January 9, 2021 on Twitter.

In late January 2021, there was already an unofficial fix for this bug . But as an administrator, no one wants unofficial fixes. Then, in late February 2021, it appeared that Microsoft was preparing an update for the NTFS bug.
Bleeping Computer first noticed that Microsoft included an undocsed fix in Windows 10 Insider build 21322 that blocked access to the path that triggers the bug. Now, the bug appears to have been fixed in all supported versions of Windows 10 with the April 13, 2021 security updates.
However, to date there is nothing in the official description of the updates. Probably Microsoft forgot to mention it…
George is still wondering what he is doing here….
