Just a few days ago, Microsoft released update KB5053598 for Windows 11 24H2, which includes several important security fixes. It’s a mandatory update that’s part of this month’s Patch Tuesday, so it’s meant to install automatically for all eligible users. Unfortunately, the update appears to be a wreck for many users, reports Windows Latest.

For starters, the update itself can fail to install, presenting error codes 0x800f0993, 0x800F081F, 0x80070032, and/or 0xC004F211. The actual update process can get stuck before installation completes, with Windows Latest having gotten stuck at 6%, 20%, and 38%. It can even reach 98% or 99%, only to restart, show an error, and proceed to uninstall the update because “something didn’t go as planned.”

If you manage to get the update successfully installed, you can still run into Blue Screen of Death crashes, or suddenly being unable to boot your PC, or problems with Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) automatically disconnecting after several minutes.

As of yet, Microsoft hasn’t acknowledged these issues or provided a fix, and there’s no known workaround for these issues. If you’re experiencing these problems, consider rolling back the update via Windows Update.

It’s a real shame because this update addresses several important security flaws, including the zero-day vulnerability CVE-2025-24983 which allows malicious attackers to elevate privileges locally.
