Microsoft Windows Update is failing on a small percentage of upgraded Windows 11 PCs, blocking June 2026 cumulative updates and producing 0x80073712 or 0x800f0993 errors. The affected cohort includes devices that started on Windows 10 21H2/22H2 or Windows 11 23H2 and were later upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2. Microsoft says a fix will reach unmanaged enterprise devices and Home PCs after a restart, while already-affected systems may need package removal or an in-place upgrade. The disruption matters because impacted devices cannot install monthly Windows updates until the issue is cleared.
