Windows keeps becoming more and more worse and bloated every month. This month's update bumped up the install.wim by 400MB! And last month's update added a similar amount of bulk. It's insane how much junk Microsoft keeps adding to the OS, whilst breaking core functionality.
I'm shocked there's not more traction on this post. Breaking localhost is almost unthinkable to me. Of all the things network unit testing should cover, that's pretty close to the top.
Link at bottom has some results about sudden, recent localhost failures
working for several years, today localhost not found
after GUI reboot attempt
localhost and 127.0.0.1 should be the same,
it seems strange they shows different results.

How does an operating system even function without localhost? This is absurd I can't believe this was caught by even a single one of the 5,000 devs working on Windows.

Even worse than macOS, which also became almost unusable over the last years.
Agreed, yet I don't see people rushing out to buy GNU/Linux powered laptops at Media Markt, because there aren't any.
Every time they add new things to the OS, the old functionality is crushed under the weight of the new.

I imagine Microsoft expects everything to be done in the cloud using AI, so localhost is considered deprecated now.
In that case localhost is their competition.
They probably have ChatGPT running their test suite or some nonsense like that now.
Same. The incident calls I'm on this morning agree too

I'm more interested in how this update causes the issue. What is the mechanism?
It seems like it only concerns IIS (and/or SChannel), and only for HTTP/2 (and maybe 3?). I use apache and openssl and doesn't have any issue.
