Microsoft admits some chips will lose data under Windows 11

Hardware compatibility list might have been more important than we thought

Microsoft has warned that Windows devices with the newest supported processors might be susceptible to data damage, and the fix might have turned made some machines really slow.

The data damage warning turned up in a support article (KB5017259) and is related to devices supporting the newest Vector Advanced Encryption Standard (VAES) instruction set.

Vole insisted that its hardware compatibility list for Windows 11 was about CPU security and experience but it looks like it might have been a bit more serious.

The June 23 patch preview release or July 12 security update should resolve the issue, but could make things a mess for different reasons. The July 12 patches (KB5015814), left the Start Menu inoperative and Vole had to roll it back.
