Hot Take:

Windows 11 updates are like that annoying cousin who shows up uninvited to every family gathering. Just when IT admins thought they had control over the guest list (or update schedule), Microsoft had other plans. But fear not, the tech giant is playing the role of the apologetic cousin, bringing a fix in the form of Known Issue Rollback (KIR). So, no need to hide in the pantry just yet!

Key Points:

  • Microsoft fixed an issue preventing Windows 11 24H2 updates via WSUS.
  • The issue was first acknowledged in April 2025 after user reports.
  • Errors included 0x80240069 codes and unexpected stoppage of the Windows Update Service.
  • Fix is available via Known Issue Rollback (KIR) for enterprise devices.
  • Microsoft is also addressing unintended Windows 11 upgrades despite Intune policies.
