Earlier this week, Microsoft started a gradual rollout of KB5062324, a small configuration update for Windows 11 version 24H2. The goal is to address an issue with a stuck Windows Update, which is unable to finish scanning for available updates.
Microsoft is rolling out KB5062324 gradually. You can get it by heading to Settings > Windows Update and toggling "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available." After that, restart your computer and check for available updates. Windows Update should properly detect KB5062324 and download it to fix issues with update detection.
In the support document for KB5062324, Microsoft added that the bug could be mitigated by restarting Windows. This will get Windows Update unstuck and allow the system to finish update scanning. Users can also get a permanent solution by downloading KB5058499 (the May 2025 non-security update) or a newer release. Note that the bug only affects computers with Windows 11 version 24H2. Older releases are unaffected.
Windows 11 version 24H2 still has a few known issues awaiting their fixes. For example, there are compatibility issues with the sprotect.sys driver, which causes apps to stop responding, audio output losses on PCs with Dirac Audio, apps hanging when using cameras, and more. You can find the complete list of known issues in Windows 11 version 24H2 here.
Speaking of updates and fixes, Microsoft today released a non-security update for Windows 10. KB5061087 (build number 19045.6036) is now available for download, and it includes various fixes for the Start menu, USB printers, incorrect Windows version reporting, and more. The update arrived minutes after Microsoft announced that the Extended Security Update program would be free for Windows 10 users. Also, the company recently revealed its plans to pull legacy drivers from Windows Update.
