GoKawiilMicrosoft warned customers on Tuesday that they may have issues installing the latest monthly updates on some Windows devices that were upgraded to Windows 11 24H2 or 25H2.
On affected systems, users will see 0x80073712 or 0x800f0993 errors when trying to install the June 2026 cumulative updates.
"A small percentage of devices running Windows 10, versions 22H2 and 21H2, or Windows 11, version 23H2, that were then upgraded to Windows 11, version 24H2 or 25H2, might fail to install the latest cumulative update," Microsoft said in a service alert first spotted by Microsoft MVP Susan Bradley.
"After encountering this issue, devices cannot install monthly Windows updates. When you go to Settings > Windows Update > Update history, you might see that Windows updates fail with error 0x80073712/0x800f0993."
When checking the Windows Update log files on impacted devices, users will see error 0x800f0993 (PSFX_E_REBASE_HYDRATION_CANDIDATES_MISSING) or 0x80073712 (ERROR_SXS_COMPONENT_STORE_CORRUPT) triggered when trying to install the latest updates.
According to Microsoft, a fix for this known issue will roll out to all unmanaged enterprise devices and personal PCs (Home edition) following a system restart.
"No new devices in these categories should be affected by this issue starting from May 19, 2026, 6:30 p.m. PT. Restarting the device might allow the resolution to apply sooner. No other action is required beyond a device restart," Microsoft added.
For all other affected devices, Microsoft has released the following Windows updates as part of its June 2026 Patch Tuesday, which should install automatically during upgrades to Windows 11 to prevent this issue from occurring:

However, as Microsoft further explained, this issue will not be addressed on affected systems that have already been upgraded to Windows 11, version 24H2 or 25H2.
