Microsoft: Some Windows PCs fail to install latest monthly updates

Microsoft has warned customers about potential installation complications with the latest monthly updates on certain Windows devices upgraded to Windows 11 versions 24H2 or 25H2. Users may encounter error codes 0x80073712 or 0x800f0993 when attempting to install cumulative updates for June 2026. Affected devices include a small fraction of those running Windows 10 versions 22H2 and 21H2, as well as Windows 11 version 23H2. Users may find that updates have failed, and the specified error codes will appear in the Windows Update log files. Microsoft plans to deploy a resolution for unmanaged enterprise devices and personal PCs after a system restart, with no new devices in these categories affected starting from May 19, 2026. For impacted devices, Microsoft has released specific updates as part of its June 2026 Patch Tuesday to prevent the issue. However, the problem will not be fixed for systems already upgraded to Windows 11 versions 24H2 or 25H2, and users are advised to remove the affected package using a command in an elevated Command Prompt. If this does not resolve the issue, users may need to perform a Windows 11 in-place upgrade. Microsoft has previously addressed similar challenges related to Windows update installations, including issues from the March 2026 non-security preview update and the January 2026 optional non-security preview updates.

Fix: UAC “Yes” Button Missing in Windows

The "User Account Control (UAC) Yes button missing" issue occurs when a user with a standard account attempts to authorize an action requiring administrator approval, resulting in the absence of the Yes button. To resolve this, the built-in Administrator account can be enabled by accessing Safe Mode and running the command PLACEHOLDER41726aa2dbf8cb10. After restarting, the user can log into the Administrator account, which has full privileges, and then grant administrator rights to their main account by using PLACEHOLDERd2270d55f540aab4 to change the group membership. After the main account is granted admin rights, the Yes button should appear in UAC prompts. It is recommended to disable the built-in Administrator account afterward for security by running net user administrator /active:no. If the device is managed by an organization, the user should contact their IT department for assistance. As a last resort for personal PCs, if no admin account is available, the user may need to reset or reinstall Windows after backing up important files.

AI-торрент: децентрализованная сеть, где твои GPU станут валютой для супер-AI

A decentralized P2P network called "AI Torrent" is designed for AI model inference, based on principles such as a BitTorrent economy where nodes exchange computational resources, a Smart Swarm Architecture using specialized models, and Self-Organizing Intelligence that allows popular models to migrate to active nodes. Users without computational resources can interact through a standard API or chat interface, while those with resources can register as nodes and earn utility tokens by performing inference tasks. AI model creators can upload models and receive royalties through smart contracts. The economy operates on utility tokens (AIT), with revenue distribution of 70% to seeders, 20% to model developers, and 10% to a DAO fund. The network aims to be cheaper than centralized alternatives and has mechanisms for liquidity and stability, including trading on DEX platforms and staking. Existing projects in decentralized AI demonstrate the viability of P2P inference, and the "AI Torrent" seeks to integrate their best features while focusing on making inference accessible and affordable. Challenges include latency in P2P systems, which the network aims to address through geo-DHT and edge caching.

Microsoft outage: Why your Windows PC at home didn’t go down – Times of India

The trigger point for the Microsoft outage was a configuration update in CrowdStrike's Falcon sensor, causing system crashes. Personal PCs were not affected because CrowdStrike is an enterprise-only security solution. Microsoft 365 for personal users was also not impacted by the outage.
