KB5039302 is damaging to systems and should be withdrawn.

The seemingly never-ending update issues with Windows 11 never stop, so Microsoft now has to release the latest cumulative update KB5039302 Within a day of its release, the company says it can damage systems to the point where they no longer work and often have to be repaired through multiple restores before they can regain normal use.

After installing updates released on June 26, 2024, some devices may not turn on. Affected systems may reboot frequently and require recovery operations to restore normal usage. -Microsoft-

Completely outsourcing quality management to Windows 11 Insiders, or so it seems, is not conducive to the stability and quality of the operating system. KB5036893, CPU error eats up performance, KB5037853, which can cause the taskbar to disappear, KB5034441, which crashes with error 0x80070643 and now KB5039302, Windows 11 and stability issues caused by updates are a disaster.

Optional update KB5039302 has been completely withdrawn by Microsoft for the time being so that no more users will find their system in a so-called “bootloop”, that is, a continuous loop of the boot process.

Update issues on Windows 11 have become standard

In the past few weeks alone, several cumulative updates on both Windows 11 and Windows 10 have caused a lot of hassle among users.

Keep in mind that these are just a small selection of the buggy Windows updates that have happened in Windows 11 and 10 in the past three months (!). But that’s not all, users are facing many other annoyances and inconveniences in Windows. The issues with Windows updates in particular are now raising questions about quality control.

PCGH's editorial team would be happy to hear what you think about Windows 11, its quality(s) and updates. What do you think about increasingly incorrect cumulative updates? What do you think about the Insider Program and advertising in Microsoft's operating system?
