Windows rolls out emergency updates for users with ARM devices to fix some issues exclusive to them after installing the recent Microsoft June 2022 Patch Tuesdays update.
The June 2022 Patch Tuesday update should have removed several bugs as it focuses on security issues.
But apart from resolving a couple of critical vulnerabilities; it also brought a few annoying issues.
NEW YORK, NY - MAY 2: A view of the new Microsoft Surface Laptop following a Microsoft launch event, May 2, 2017 in New York City. The Windows 10 S operating system is geared toward the education market and is Microsoft's answer to Google's Chrome OS.
Windows Emergency Update for ARM Devices
This time, Windows had to urgently fix the issues that its latest Patch Tuesday release had left behind.
According to a recent report by Bleeping Computer, Windows users on ARM devices began to have trouble signing in to their Microsoft 365 and Azure Active Directory after the June Patch Tuesday update.
As such, Microsoft went on to release an out-of-band (OOB) Windows update, which should ditch a few annoying issues right away.
Bleeping Computer reports that the all-new OOB update is supposed to be installed on the users of ARM devices automatically.
But if you are keen on having it as soon as possible, there is also a manual route, which is not rocket science to go through.
The emergency update for Windows 10 and Windows 11 users is available through the Microsoft Update Catalog. The latest OOB update carries the name KB5016138 for Windows 11. For folks clinging to Windows 10, it is KB5016139.
Microsoft 365 Sign-In Bug: How Bad is It?
Bleeping Computer notes that Microsoft took time to explain the new emergency update, giving a few details on the issues it addresses.

Microsoft said the new update fixes an issue that "only affects Windows Arm-based devices."
The tech giant told users of Microsoft 365 about the issue at hand, saying that there is a wide range of sign-in problems, affecting a couple of apps.
To be more precise, the bug might prevent Windows users from logging in to apps using the Azure Active Directory.
On top of that, users of OneDrive for Business, Outlook Desktop client, and Microsoft Teams might also have trouble signing in to their accounts, all due to the Patch Tuesday update.
But the latest emergency update is here to fix all of these issues.

Do You Need to Install June 2022 Patch Tuesday First?
Microsoft further notes that "if you are using updates released before June 14, 2022, we recommend that you install this OOB update instead of the June 14, 2022 security update."
Essentially, the new emergency fix no longer requires Windows users who missed out on the Patch Tuesday to get their hands on that.
