Windows 11 update chaos: Another patch brings more bugs and issues

Microsoft temporarily halted the rollout of June's Patch Tuesday update for Windows 11 due to user complaints and issued an emergency patch. A new issue has arisen with the Print to PDF feature on Windows 11 24H2, where the option is missing from the Settings app and cannot be activated via PowerShell, primarily affecting corporate users. Microsoft is working on a solution through the optional preview update KB5060829, which has also introduced performance problems, including cursor delays in games and erratic Windows Firewall behavior. Users are advised to consider postponing the installation of KB5060829 and may roll back the update if they encounter issues.

Patch Chaos: Windows 11 Update Breaks PDF Printing

A Windows update in April 2025 caused the "Microsoft Print to PDF" function to disappear from Windows 11 24H2 systems, resulting in error 0x800f0922 when users attempted to reactivate it. Microsoft released cumulative update KB5060829 as a potential fix, available only through optional updates. Users can also try to manually reinstall the feature via the "Optional Features" window or PowerShell commands, though the error may persist. Previous updates had also caused issues with USB printers and delays in security patches. IT teams must carefully plan and test updates due to the potential for complications.

Microsoft fixes ‘Print to PDF’ feature broken by Windows update

Microsoft has resolved an issue with the 'Print to PDF' feature on Windows 11 24H2 systems that arose after the April 2025 preview update, where the Microsoft Print to PDF printer was not visible in the Settings menu. Enabling the Printing-PrintToPDFServices-Feature led to error code 0x800f0922, preventing the installation of the printer driver. The fix was included in the KB5060829 preview cumulative update released on Friday and will be available to all users with the July Patch Tuesday updates. Users can also manually enable the feature through the Windows Features dialog or PowerShell, although using PowerShell may still result in the 0x800f0922 error. This fix follows previous updates addressing other printing issues and potential delays in June 2025 Windows security updates.
