You might want to hold off on those Windows 11 updates if you rely on localhost for your apps. Microsoft’s latest round of updates has thrown a wrench in the works, breaking HTTP/2 connections to 127.0.0.1. This means that any applications that connect back to your local server are going to run into some serious hiccups.

Users are reporting that their development environments and other local services are acting up, causing frustration for anyone who needs reliable access to localhost. If you’re dealing with broken connections, you’re not alone. Microsoft hasn’t rolled out a fix yet, so keep your eyes peeled for any patches that might come your way. In the meantime, you might want to consider rolling back those updates if you can.
