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 theme.
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.

At the end of January 2021, there was already one informal fix for this error. 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 error.
The Bleeping Desktop first noticed that Microsoft included an undocs fix in Windows 10 Insider build 21322 that prevented access in the path that triggers the error. Now, the bug seems to have been fixed in all supported versions of Windows 10 with its security updates April 13, 2021.
However, to date there is nothing in the official description of the updates. Probably Microsoft forgot to mention it…
