Microsoft is restoring the flawed Windows update, but not for everyone
Microsoft has decided to re-release a flawed Windows 11 update that was causing computers to get stuck in a reboot loop. But not everyone will install it.
Just yesterday, we reported on the flawed KB5039302 update for Windows 11 that was causing some computers to get stuck in an endless reboot loop. Microsoft first removed it from Windows Update, and now it’s adding it back, but not for all users.
Unlucky update KB5039302
After a short investigation, the Redmond company found the cause of the problems. It turned out that the KB5039302 update caused problems only for those users who used virtual machines, e.g. CloudPC, DevBox, Azure Virtual Desktop, as well as VMware. Therefore, Microsoft decided to make it available again with Windows Update, but not for those who use such tools.
The availability of this update via Windows Update and Windows Update for Business was paused for several days, but has resumed today for most devices. The update is now paused only for affected devices.
– Microsoft informed.
Importantly, this is an optional update, so you must manually select it from the list to install it on your computer. This won’t happen automatically, so there’s no reason to worry, at least for now.
