Well, the best fits ‘Microsoft Misere’, but ‘Microsoft Mist’ fit also (and Mist doesn’t mean English mist / fogg … it’s more muck)

The word you are thinking of is:
Schlimmerverbesserung:   A fix for something that turns out to be worse.

Probably die Pfuscherei …

Microsoft should replace blue screen with “Don’t worry, be happy!”

As some of us might experience a certain malicious joy at yet another bungled bundled patch from Microsoft making a disimprovement at the expense one of their own products, the following German words do have relevant eloquent translations:

• Verschlimmbesserung: Disimprovement
• schadenfreude: malicious joy, pleasure derived by someone from another person’s misfortune.
• die Pfuscherei: the bungling

However, in the English language the word bungle actually seems most appropriate, as a verb:

• carry out (a task) clumsily or incompetently, leading to failure or an unsatisfactory outcome.
• make or be prone to making many mistakes.

and as a noun:

• a mistake or failure, typically one resulting from mismanagement or confusion.

Of course the military term snafu is also appropriate…

Hmm, Hindenburg would be the German equivalent, I guess…

The Germans would call it squib load.

It’s not German, but the term Dumpster Fire does seem to fit here.

On my all-Intel NUC, the 1803 (Pro, 64-bits) November Updates worked perfectly well. (Updated Sunday, Dec.2, 2018.) We are still talking about the November CU, aren’t we?

November, yes, but on a Surface Book 2, not a NUC
