Microsoft has launched a New update for Windows 10 that is causing headaches to its users. Multiple reports in the support forums mention an installation failure in the most recent security update. Worst of all is that Microsoft He tried to implement this patch in Novemberbut he withdrew it a few days for the same reason.
According to NEWIN, The KB5048239 update for Windows 10 version 22h2 generates multiple failures. User reports in support forums indicate a persistent installation loop. The affected systems repeatedly try to install KB5048239, even after a seemingly successful installation.
This behavior is documented in multiple threads, with scenarios in which Windows Update informs that The system is “updated” immediately after a failed installation attempt.
A user pointed out That the update is reinstated every time Windows updates are verified. Another indicates that Windows Update shows a 0% installation progress before returning to the “updated” state. In some cases, Windows does not show alerts about errors in the installation, but repeats the same behavior when opening Windows Update.
Microsoft fails to solve Windows 10 update errors
The update KB5048239 for Windows 10 was released in mid -November 2024 as part of Patch Tuesday. According to the original description, the patch automatically apply the dynamic update of Safe os (KB5046913) To the Windows recovery environment (Winre). Microsoft states that this adjustment installs improvements in recovery functions of the operating system.
A few days later, The support forums were filled with messages with failure reports. The update generated an error similar to that hundreds of users pointed out at the beginning of 2024. Winre’s problem was related to a Insufficient space in the Windows recovery partitionso users had to increase it manually to solve it.
Microsoft withdrew the November patch with the idea of solving the error and implementing it later. Unfortunately, that did not happen and Users cannot update Windows 10. The operating system does not correctly register the installation status, which results in an infinite update loop.
At the moment There is no definitive solution to solve the failure. Some users advise to increase the recovery partition, although others point out that they already did and the error is maintained. Microsoft mentions that this update will not be offered to computers that do not have Winre, so the most viable option (for now) would be Eliminate recovery partition.
