This issue occurs when a policy is deleted for deleting cached profiles. "These file deletions may cause a '0x5A (CRITICAL_SERVICE_FAILED)' shutdown error and startup failures," Redmond said.
Windows 10 October 2020 Update, which was called version 20H2, has already reached the final stage of development and Microsoft has sent the final version to users of the Windows Insider program.
In terms of making the update available to everyone, it is likely to launch later this month but it will happen gradually, as it is a service pack with minor improvements.
