Users report severe disruptions, including dropped frames and connection failures, impacting workflows reliant on NDI technology. The problem primarily affects Windows 10 and Windows 11 systems after applying the latest security patches. Microsoft has acknowledged the issue and is investigating a fix, advising users to consider uninstalling the updates if NDI streaming is essential for their operations. This incident highlights the challenges of balancing security updates with operational stability in complex environments. IT professionals and cybersecurity teams should monitor Microsoft's communications closely and prepare mitigation strategies to minimize downtime and maintain secure, reliable streaming services.
