Microsoft’s Time Travel Bug: June 2025 Windows Updates Stuck in the Past!
Microsoft confirmed a bug causing delivery delays for June 2025 Windows security updates due to a timestamp mix-up. Windows 10 and 11 systems with deferral policies may face unexpected delays, possibly exposing vulnerabilities. Redmond suggests temporary workarounds, but the metadata date stays as is. Who knew time travel could be a cybersecurity issue?
Hot Take:
Microsoft’s timestamp blunder gives a whole new meaning to “Fashionably Late” updates. Looks like even Windows updates are taking a holiday in June 2025, with some confused devices thinking it’s still June 20th. Maybe they just wanted an extended summer vacation?
Key Points:
- Microsoft confirms a new issue causing delayed updates due to an incorrect metadata timestamp.
- Issue affects Windows 10 and 11 systems with deferral policies, postponing updates beyond admin-specified periods.
- Redmond suggests workarounds, including expedited deployment policies, to bypass deferral settings.
- Microsoft states the delay affects only the timing, not the quality or applicability, of the update.
- Past issues include update failures and unintended Windows 11 upgrades despite policy settings.
