Windows 11 May 2026 update fails on some PCs, but Microsoft has already shipped a workaround, and it's working on a permanent fix.
Microsoft warns some Windows 11 24H2 and 25H2 PCs may fail to install monthly updates, triggering error codes 0x80073712 and 0x800f0993.
The recent Windows 11 security update didn't cause those SSD failures, according to Microsoft (via BleepingComputer ). But the root cause is still unknown.
