Microsoft creates separate Windows 11 24H2 update for incompatible PCs

On Tuesday, Microsoft announced the rollout of a revised security update aimed at addressing compatibility issues with certain Windows 11 24H2 systems. This update comes in response to challenges encountered with the initial update released during this month’s Patch Tuesday.

Details of the Update

The tech giant confirmed via a Twitter thread that the revised update is being gradually deployed to devices running Windows 11, version 24H2. “We’ve identified a compatibility issue affecting a limited set of these devices,” Microsoft stated. Affected users can expect to receive a revised update that includes all the June 2025 security enhancements shortly.

In a subsequent message center update, Microsoft clarified that the June 2025 security update is fully accessible for all other supported versions of Windows. However, the company has not yet detailed the specific hardware or software configurations impacted by the compatibility issue, nor has it explained how the affected PCs were influenced post-installation of this month’s cumulative updates.

Moreover, Microsoft has not indicated whether this is the first instance of releasing a revised Patch Tuesday update to tackle compatibility concerns, leaving customers to wonder if similar occurrences might be expected in the future. A spokesperson from Microsoft was unavailable for comment when approached by BleepingComputer earlier today.

Security Vulnerabilities Addressed

On the same day, Microsoft rolled out security updates (KB5060842 and KB5060999) addressing 66 vulnerabilities across Windows 11 24H2 and 23H2. Among these vulnerabilities was an actively exploited Web Distributed Authoring and Versioning (WebDAV) zero-day (CVE-2025-33053) and a publicly disclosed Windows SMB privilege escalation flaw.

This month’s Patch Tuesday updates effectively mitigated ten critical vulnerabilities, eight of which allowed attackers to execute remote code on unpatched devices, while two provided avenues for privilege escalation.

Additionally, KB5060842 resolves a Windows Hello issue that hindered users from signing in with self-signed certificates and extends the availability of system restore points to 60 days on Windows 11 24H2 devices. Meanwhile, KB5060999 addresses a graphics support issue that was causing Remote Desktop connections to fail with errors such as “session has ended” and “remote desktop connection cannot be established.”

On the same day, Microsoft also released the KB5060533 cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2, which restores seconds to the time displayed in the Calendar flyout and resolves an issue that caused Hyper-V virtual machines running Windows 10, Windows 11, and Windows Server to freeze or restart unexpectedly.
