Windows PCs ‘Suddenly’ Fail After Microsoft’s New Update

Microsoft has acknowledged an issue where certain devices fail to boot, resulting in a Black Screen of Death (BSOD) with the stop code UNMOUNTABLEBOOTVOLUME, affecting users of Windows 11 25H2 and 24H2 who installed the KB5074109 update. This update was intended to address numerous security vulnerabilities. Users encountering the 0xED error code may face system corruption or hardware failures, and while Windows Recovery is usually effective, it may fail in some cases, requiring a clean installation of Windows using an ISO file. Microsoft describes the reports as limited but acknowledges the potential for the issue to expand as more users report their experiences.
