http sys localhost

About this tag
The tag http sys localhost covers discussions about HTTP.sys, the kernel-mode HTTP driver in Windows, and its handling of localhost (loopback) connections, particularly HTTP/2. Recent threads focus on a regression introduced by Windows 11 cumulative update KB5066835, which broke HTTP/2 connections over localhost, causing IIS and developer tools to fail with connection reset errors. Microsoft addressed this via a Known Issue Rollback (KIR). The tag also touches on related outages, such as the South Africa DoJ&CD incident, and links to broader patch risks affecting WinRE USB input. Content is relevant for IT admins, developers, and users troubleshooting localhost HTTP/2 failures after Windows updates.
