One bug addressed in KB5012643 could leave Point of Sale terminals hanging for up to 40 minutes during startup. Microsoft stated, "We fixed an issue that delays OS startup by approximately 40 minutes." So much for the express lane at check-out. Microsoft described the fixes as "improvements"...yeah, Windows 11 is great as a POS...
