This bulletin is to advise you that Siemens received reports from Windows 11 users regarding BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) issues after installing a recent KB update. 

Affected Software: 

All NX releases 

Problem: 

A new Windows 11 update, KB5035853, is causing unexpected BSOD when running certain NX applications. These issues seem to occur during CAM and Drafting operations that utilize specific Graphics methods. However, the root cause is yet to be determined, so it could potentially impact other NX-based operations in CAD, CAM, and CAE applications. 

Based on public reports, this problem is not exclusive to NX users, but the cause is still unknown. 

Solution: 

We are collaborating with Microsoft and conducting internal investigations to identify NX-specific mitigations that can be implemented until a permanent solution for this KB update is released. 

In the meantime, we advise customers to avoid installing this KB update or to rollback if it has already been installed in order to minimize any potential impact on your NX users. 

Please stay updated by following this SFB for future developments on this matter. 

Regards, 

NX development team
