Microsoft Releases KB5062324 to Resolve Windows 11 24H2 Update Blocker Issue

Microsoft Releases Windows 11 KB5062324 to Fix Update Issues

Microsoft has initiated the deployment of Windows 11 KB5062324, specifically designed to resolve a critical bug affecting the Windows 11 24H2 version. Users have reported that Windows Update often fails to function properly unless the system is rebooted and updates are manually rechecked.

According to Windows Latest, this issue has been a recurring concern raised during this year’s Patch Tuesday updates. The timely release of this fix is a welcome development for users facing update-related difficulties.

“This Windows configuration update addresses an issue in Windows that can cause the scan for Windows updates to stop responding. Restarting Windows should allow the scan for Windows updates to be completed, ” Microsoft explained in a support document.

All compatible devices will gradually receive Windows 11 KB5062324, and crucially, a reboot is not necessary to implement the changes. Once the patch is installed, users should experience improved Windows Update functionality.

In a recent inquiry, Microsoft confirmed that the June 2025 Patch Tuesday will provide a permanent solution for the ongoing issues. However, users are advised that the KB5062324 update may still be applicable to their systems if necessary.

Some users have also encountered a misleading error indicating that their Windows version has reached its end of support, rendering the update checks ineffective. The newly launched KB5062324 may further assist in resolving the “Get newer version of Windows to stay up to date” issue on the Windows Update page.

Common Installation Issues Encountered

Reports from users indicate ongoing challenges with installing Windows 11 security updates, such as KB5063060. Many have experienced incomplete installations without any accompanying error codes.

After attempting a restart, users are often faced with messages stating ‘Updates are in progress.’ However, upon rebooting, an exclamation mark appears on the update icon. While some individuals have tried troubleshooting Windows Update, the ‘Check for updates’ button often remains absent, leading to a lack of update history visible to users.

Additionally, Microsoft has withdrawn the original June patch, KB5060842, due to compatibility problems with Easy Anti Cheat—an essential tool for ensuring fair play in games like Fortnite.

Reports confirm that the June patch led to unexpected system reboots during gameplay in Fortnite. Microsoft has acknowledged these compatibility challenges with Easy Anti-Cheat. The KB5063060 update, which was released on June 11, serves as a replacement for the problematic patch but has introduced its own set of glitches, including performance-related issues.

Users have described experiencing brief system freezes, lasting approximately 10 seconds each time, resulting in unresponsive mouse and keyboard inputs as well as interrupted network connections during regular tasks like browsing or using Word applications.
