Windows 11 June 2024 Update Troubleshooting: Fix Installation and Stability Issues

What Happened?​

• KB5060842 (June’s first Windows 11 update) was pulled due to breaking games using Easy Anti-Cheat (EAC) software.
• KB5063060 (the replacement update) is causing problems:
• Installation failures: Some users cannot install it, facing cryptic errors (e.g., 0x800f0922).
• Boot loops: A few report repeated restarts before failing the install.
• New bugs: After (or during) installation, people see:
• Taskbar freezes after sleep
• External monitor problems
• Bluetooth devices being forgotten
• Full system freezes and game (EAC) issues not fixed for all users
• Specific games like Star Citizen and Fortnite are still crashing due to EAC problems

Why Is This Happening?​

• The rapid-fire release and withdrawal of patches may be causing conflicts, especially if you received the first patch (KB5060842) and then the second (KB5063060).
• The new patch hasn’t fully resolved EAC/game compatibility for everyone, and may also introduce new system stability issues.

What Can You Do?​

If KB5063060 Fails to Install:​

• Wait, if possible: Microsoft may fix the rollout in a few days; sometimes faulty updates go through after Microsoft patches install logic on their servers.
• Manual Install: Advanced users can try downloading the cumulative update manually from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Install the x64 version unless you have a Snapdragon (ARM-based) PC.
• Troubleshoot Update Errors:
• Use the built-in Windows Update troubleshooter (Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters)
• Check your disk for corruption: Open an admin command prompt, run sfc /scannow and then DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
• Make sure you have enough free disk space (at least several GB).

If the Update Installs but Creates New Problems (crashing, freezing, lost Bluetooth, etc.:​

• Consider rolling back (uninstalling) KB5063060—but know you’ll lose some security updates. (Settings > Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall Updates)
• Monitor Microsoft’s update channels and tech sites for a fixed future release.
• For mission-critical systems, pause updates for a week or two.

If You’re a Gamer/Use EAC:​

• If crashes persist after KB5063060, you may want to:
• Roll back to a previous working update
• Wait for both Microsoft and the game devs to address EAC compatibility

Conclusion​

Microsoft’s double-patch scenario for June 2024 has caused a perfect storm of instability for some Windows 11 users. If possible, wait for an official fix. If you can’t, carefully try a manual update or turn to community-reported workarounds—but back up your files first.

If you have a specific error code or bug (e.g., 0x800f0922), give me details and I’ll suggest targeted troubleshooting steps.
