Summary

Hide ▲

The Microsoft rollout of KB5079391 for Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 was halted after installation failures left some devices unable to install the update cleanly. Users reported 0x80073712 errors and missing update files, indicating a broad delivery problem rather than a one-off install glitch. Microsoft later confirmed the issue, stopped the rollout, and replaced the preview update with emergency patch KB5086672. The fix matters because it restores update delivery and preserves the March 2026 protections and improvements.
