KB5058405: Overview with user sentiment and feedback

Overview

This is the May 2025 security update for Windows 11, targeting versions 24H2, 23H2, 22H2, and 21H2. The update includes both security improvements and quality enhancements, combining the latest servicing stack update (SSU) with the latest cumulative update (LCU). It addresses security vulnerabilities in the Windows operating system and makes improvements to the Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) system for Linux detection.

General Purpose

The primary purpose of this update is to enhance system security and improve functionality across multiple areas. It includes improvements to SBAT for better detection of Linux systems, addresses Windows Update issues that were preventing updates to Windows 11 version 24H2, and contains quality improvements to the servicing stack component responsible for installing Windows updates. The servicing stack updates ensure robust and reliable update installation processes for receiving and installing Microsoft updates. The update also carries forward all improvements from Windows 11 version 22H2.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment around this update appears mixed. While it provides important security improvements and necessary system updates, there are significant concerns about installation issues, particularly for users running virtual environments. The update has been reported to cause recovery errors in virtual machines, including Azure Virtual Machines and on-premises virtual machines hosted on Citrix or Hyper-V. However, home users with Windows Home or Pro editions are less likely to encounter these issues as they typically don't use virtual machines.

Known Issues

• Recovery error with code 0xc0000098: Some devices may encounter a recovery error during installation, particularly affecting virtual machines
• Windows Update Service (WSUS) error: Users might be unable to update to Windows 11 version 24H2, showing error code 0x8024006
