Description

Microsoft warned customers on Tuesday that they may have issues installing the latest monthly updates on some Windows devices that were upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2. [...]

Impact

Affected devices cannot install monthly Windows cumulative updates, which may prevent them from receiving important security and feature updates. The failure is due to component store corruption or missing hydration candidates, causing update errors 0x80073712 and 0x800f0993. This may leave systems without the latest patches until the issue is resolved. However, this does not indicate a direct security compromise or exploit in the wild.

Defensive guidance

Microsoft has released fixes that will automatically apply to most devices after a system restart. No further action is required for new upgrades after May 19, 2026. For devices already affected, users should run the command "dism /online /remove-package /packagename:Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~26100.1742.1.10" in an elevated Command Prompt to remove the problematic package. If this does not resolve the issue, performing a Windows 11 in-place upgrade is recommended. These steps restore the ability to install future updates.
