2026-05 Security Update (KB5089549) (26200.8457) - Another failed installation

Basically, I haven't been able to install the last 2 or 3 security updates - the installation keeps failing. This is happening on two relatively new machines running Avast, while on two older computers, I installed the updates without any issues, and they are running the default Windows Defender. Does anyone know what the problem might be or why the installation has been failing for the past 2 or 3 Security Updates? I read somewhere that Windows changed something regarding BitLocker, but I don't see why that would cause the installation to fail.

How in the ever loving **** do I install update 25H2?

I have been trying for weeks now to update to 25H2 and it ALWAYS fails. I have tried the troubleshooter and get "Windows 11, version 25H2 this update couldn't be installed, but we'll try again later. I have tried by downloading the ISO and trying that way. I get "0xC1900101 - 0x40017 The installation failed in the SECOND_BOOT phase with an error during BOOT operation".

Please help.

Hi all,

the latest : 2026-05 Security Update (KB5089549) (26200.8457), has messed up my AMD graphics driver, i had to uninstall this update yesterday and pause updates for now. Any reasons why this may be ? i also noticed some of my adobe software failed to open any pdf until i removed this update.

Anyone else having the same issue? if so, did you overcome and how? or did you just uninstall it like i did?

Any advice would be helpful please.

Thanks.

System corrupted and i cant reinstall windows + I dont have windows security

Im having huge issues with this pc

I cant reinstall windows ( I'm certain that it's not USB issues since I tried it multiple times)

Games containing anti cheats do not work (Fortnite, Valorant, R6S, unturned)

Bluetooth sometimes doesnt work

I cant activate windows and when I click on it in the settings it freezes my settings

After I reseted the pc

Theres no windows security, it shows a blank screen when I open i,, and it's not anywhere on my pc even in regedit

Wifi is slow smh

When I try to open apps like brave or Google it tells me that it's potentially a virus and that it can't launch it

I tried launching the setup exe with cmd, on safe mode, bootable usb nothing works

Is there a way to fix this ? I can use my brother's laptop in case i need a pc to download stuff, tho please tell me if you have a solution

Windows install stuck

Reset my pc to fix some problems I was having, has now been stuck doing this for nearly 4 hours, I’ve been told to leave it for a bit but 4 hours seems excessive, any fix for it?

KB5089549 Entirely breaks SMB2

Hello, I write today with a relatively obscure setup. I manage a team of developers who target the NetBSD operating system, but due to developer comfort, ease of tooling, and administrative restrictions we use windows to write the code on (trust me I hate this too). Yesterday after updating to I KB5089549 have noticed any requests to a Samba 4.21.7 server (which worked just fine prior to updating) now takes upwards of 30-40 seconds. This is unacceptable, and even with three hours of troubleshooting I do not understand why this is suddenly broken.

My understanding is that this security update changed how oplocks are handled and requires more , but I spent the day attempting and failing to remediate the issue. It's problems like this that push users, even institutional users, towards MacOS/Linux.

Not sure if this helps anyone out, but I figured to note it down incase anyone else has experienced a similar baffling issue, rather than suffering in silence.

The standalone .msu from Microsoft Update Catalog fails the same way.

Any ideas before I either wait for the next cumulative update or do an in-place repair install?

2026-05 Security update updates to 100%, then runs into an error and undoes the changes.

https://preview.redd.it/9o8t2tn6911h1.png?width=1017&format=png&auto=webp&s=d11c81c02e1f3b7e409875dbca5837cd77551841

The two new updates were annoying the heck out of me last night. Somehow, the .net security update went through just as a completed install when I tried it again just this evening, but I have no idea how to fix this one. Can someone more tech savvy than me suggest a solution that won't have me feeling like I'm about to delete system 32?

I looked at this page and I have no idea if any of this is going to fix my issue. Frankly typing a bunch of stuff into DISM makes me worried about breaking something else. (I am also not particularly fond of reinstalling windows either, so god help me...)

Why?

Please, Microslop... Please explain why I should have to wait and hour for Windows Update every time I turn my Laptop on?

Now, I concede, I use this device once every few months. But... I've turned updates off on this thing more times than I can remember, but still, every time, without fail, at some point in time, they get re-enabled somehow.

Please, explain to me why we can't just choose when WE want to update our shot?

Bitlocker recovery key not able to find.

After updating my windows a bitlocker recovery key is asked every time I tried to boot up my laptop. I don't remember when did I enabled secure boot and where did I saved my bitlocker key.

I checked with all microsoft account I have, in none of the accounts I am able to find the key.

I even tried disabling secure boot from bios settings. Still bitlocker key is asked everytime upon system bootup. I tried restarting my laptop several times as recommended by some users, it didn't fixed my issue.

I have brought the laptop recently and moved all of my personal data including pictures, videos and documents to my laptop. I don't have any backup of my personal data.

I am seeking for any help other than resetting the laptop as it will erase my entire data stored in laptop.

KB5089549 Regression: Boot Time Increased

When updating to KB5089549 I have found that the device the boot time has increased by about a minute and a half.

This issue seems to be in the early boot process because it happens after the device posts but before the loading screen shows up.

Has anyone else encountered this or know a workaround?

Thank you
