Recent Windows Updates: Issues and Fixes

Patch Tuesdays are crucial for delivering essential security updates to the Windows operating system. However, they can sometimes lead to unintended problems. The recent update for Windows 10, known as KB5058379, was problematic due to a bug affecting BitLocker recovery, which has since been resolved by the out-of-band update KB5061768. In a similar vein, a Recovery update, KB5059442, has addressed a bug concerning the Virtualization-Based Security (VBS) for Windows 11, specifically related to the version 24H2 upgrade.

Installation Complications with Windows 11 Updates

Users of Windows 11 are encountering various installation failures with the recent May 2025 Patch Tuesday update, KB5058411. Affected individuals have reported multiple error codes, such as 0x800f0991, 0x800f0838, 0x800736b3, and 0x800f081f.

For instance, user Shukang Liang detailed on the Microsoft support forums their trouble with the update, stating:

  • After manually downloading and executing the.msu file from the Microsoft Update Catalog, I receive error 0x800f0838.

Error Reports from Other Users

Similarly, another user named PaulK671 reported the same errors, which can be seen in their thread detailing the errors 0x800736b3 and 0x800f081f. Meanwhile, user Jenny-XS has also experienced the 0x800f081f error when attempting to install the KB5058411 update.

Microsoft’s Support Challenges

Recently, Microsoft released a support document listing numerous hex error codes that commonly lead to installation failures in Windows 10 and 11. However, it appears that the errors reported by users do not align with the codes for which Microsoft has provided workarounds. This suggests that Microsoft may need to expand its support resources as these unresolved issues continue to mount.

Interestingly, a commenter named ScotBirch shared their successful resolution of the 0x800f0991 error by utilizing the “Fix problems using Windows Update”feature. Microsoft had released guidance on this option back in December 2024, which could be a helpful avenue for those facing similar issues.
