Microsoft has addressed an update problem in Windows 11. The problem occurred in client platforms deployed to connect different business users as endpoints for rapid feature and application deployment.
After implementing a preview update in June 2024 (KB5039302), certain Windows 11 systems experienced update issues. Updating was not possible when using Windows Update automation scripts. Business users with client platforms that ran on Windows 11 23H2 or Windows 11 22H2 experienced these problems.
Manually installing solution
The solution is the use of Known Issue Rollback (KIR). Introduced in 2021, this functionality is a way for Microsoft users to quickly address bugs that are not security-related. Users must manually run this feature, for which the written-out process is described in this blog. The Group Policy download required to implement a KIR can be found here.
In addition, the company says it is working on a patch, which will be packaged in a future Windows update. “Once the update with the fix is released, organizations will no longer need to install and configure this group policy to resolve this issue.”
Recent update didn’t go well either
Microsoft recently intervened more extreme in a Windows 11 update by withdrawing the update entirely. This update caused problems that affected the functionality of the operating system. Namely, the system could enter a loop in which Windows kept rebooting, while for others the taskbar disappeared.
