Microsoft confirms Windows 11 update is failing on some PCs, explains if you need a workaround

Microsoft has identified the root cause of installation issues related to the May 2026 update for Windows operating system and is rolling out a solution through an optional update, KB5089573. The May 12, 2026, Patch Tuesday update (KB5089549) introduced enhancements but many users faced installation failures due to error code “0x800f0922,” indicating insufficient space on the EFI System Partition (ESP). The ESP is critical for boot files and typically occupies around 256MB. Users can check ESP storage using a specific command. Low ESP space can lead to update failures, particularly when it drops below 10MB. Microsoft has rolled back problematic code and provided a fix in the optional update KB5089573, which resolves ESP space issues and ensures future updates will proceed smoothly. Users are encouraged to install this update or wait for the next scheduled Patch Tuesday update on June 9, 2026.

Microsoft to add automatic driver rollback to Windows 11

Microsoft is set to introduce a feature for Windows 11 called Cloud-Initiated Driver Recovery (CIDR), which will automatically revert problematic driver updates to stable versions via Windows Update. This feature aims to improve user experience by eliminating the need for manual uninstallation of faulty drivers. CIDR will monitor drivers and, if a driver is found to be problematic, it can initiate a remote rollback to restore a stable version. The process will not require additional software installations or changes to existing workflows for hardware manufacturers. The automated rollback will specifically target only the affected hardware components, ensuring other drivers and system functions remain unaffected. Initial testing for CIDR is scheduled between May and August 2026, with a broader rollout expected in September 2026.

Microsoft Retires Outlook Lite App Affecting 10 Million Android Users

Microsoft has officially decommissioned its Outlook Lite application for Android, affecting over 10 million users globally. The lightweight email client was designed for resource-constrained smartphones and slow mobile networks but has been phased out in favor of the standard Outlook Mobile app, which requires significantly more storage and processing power. Existing user data remains secure in the cloud, but the transition raises concerns about digital inclusion, particularly for users in emerging markets with limited access to high-end smartphones and reliable internet. The standard app's increased data demands may impose financial burdens on users in regions with expensive mobile data. Microsoft aims to consolidate its software for improved security and efficiency, following a trend among other tech companies to retire similar "Lite" applications. Digital rights advocates warn that this shift could exacerbate the digital divide, particularly in rural areas lacking robust internet connectivity.

Fake ‘Cockroach Janta Party’ Android app flagged as critical malware threat, report warns

A cybersecurity report released on May 22, 2026, identifies a counterfeit Android application posing as the official app of the Cockroach Janta Party as a significant malware threat. The malicious app, known as Cockroach.Janta.Party, functions as a Remote Access Trojan (RAT) and can infiltrate Android devices, steal sensitive information, intercept communications, and control infected smartphones. The genuine Cockroach Janta Party has no affiliation with this app and is a victim of brand impersonation. The app is distributed through WhatsApp, Telegram, and misleading websites, particularly a rogue domain, cockroachjantaparty[.]org. It targets Android devices running versions 8.0 to 14 and requests elevated permissions, including access to camera, SMS, call logs, and contacts, while misusing the Android Accessibility Service to read on-screen content and grant itself additional permissions. The app contains multiple malicious modules for data exfiltration and uses a Command and Control infrastructure based on the Telegram Bot API. Users are advised to uninstall the app, disable Accessibility permissions, reset banking credentials, enable two-factor authentication, and conduct a full mobile security scan. The legitimate Cockroach Janta Party is encouraged to issue a formal clarification regarding the impersonation.

Minecraft puts its Java multiplayer test on hold: “The experience wasn’t what we wanted”

The Minecraft Java Edition 26.2 pre-release has been released, but the peer-to-peer multiplayer feature has been temporarily removed due to not meeting developer standards.
