Frustration with Windows 11: Update KB5063060 pushes users to the limit!

On June 17, 2025, Microsoft released a new update for Windows 11, known as KB5063060. This update is intended to fix the problems of the previous update KB5060842, but itself is attracting numerous complaints from users. Many report difficulties during installation, with progress often stuck at 38 percent or the update showing 100 percent but still not completing.

The typical error messages that occur during installation include 0x800f0922, 0x80070002, 0x80070306 and 0x800f0991. Particular problems could be caused by a conflict between this update and the patch KB5060842 running in the background, as reported by oe24.

Problems after installation

After installing KB5063060, users report various difficulties, such as an unresponsive taskbar and a possible Windows Explorer crash loop that crashes the entire PC. Bluetooth devices also appear to be affected as they need to be set up again every time they are started. Players using Easy Anti-Cheat are also experiencing issues with popular titles such as Fortnite and Counter-Strike, which frequently crash or freeze the system. Installing KB5063060 doesn't always seem to go smoothly.

Users are advised to uninstall the update if they encounter any issues. To do this, they should open Settings in Windows 11, navigate to Windows Update, select "Update History" and finally select "Uninstall Updates" to remove KB5063060. An alternative solution could be to install KB5060842, which causes fewer problems, as WindowsLatest also notes.

Context of the update

Windows 11 version 24H2, which became generally available on May 2, 2025, is in the final stages of gradual rollout via Windows Update. Eligible devices should be able to check for the update, but note that if incompatibilities are detected, an update may not appear. Microsoft has already acknowledged other known issues related to this release, including the inability of AVD applications, some wallpaper customization applications, and difficulties with devices using Easy Anti-Cheat.

Microsoft's recommendations, particularly regarding manual updates to version 24H2, are cautious. Users should wait until the existing problems are resolved before carrying out such updates, as the official Microsoft website learn.microsoft.com recommends.
