Microsoft Update Fails—New Download Breaks Windows
May 16, 2025
Users Encounter BitLocker Recovery Screens Amid Windows 10 Update Issues
Reports are emerging of a growing number of users facing BitLocker Recovery screens and the infamous Blue Screens of Death (BSOD) following the installation of Microsoft’s latest Windows 10 update, KB5058379. According to Windows Latest, the installation process often halts at a prompt requesting users to enter their recovery key, with some users experiencing BSODs as well.
This update is classified as mandatory, addressing significant security vulnerabilities impacting millions of users, some of whom are currently under active threat. Despite the urgency of the update, Microsoft’s support documentation maintains that the company is unaware of any new issues. However, user feedback reported by Windows Latest suggests otherwise.
For those affected, the recovery process can be arduous. One potential solution involves disabling Intel TXT (Trusted Execution Technology) to allow the update to complete its installation. Detailed instructions can be found in the linked article from Windows Latest. It’s advisable to remain calm during this process.
One user on Reddit shared their experience, stating, “We had 1 BSOD on a Dell Precision 3660 right after applying the cumulative update to 24H2. Uninstalling didn’t help. BSOD approximately 6 minutes after reboot, consistently. The event log had some issues with Dell SupportAssist, so I uninstalled the four programs, and everything was fine after that.”
Another user reported issues with the update on their system, saying, “Seeing an issue with Win10 22H2 19045.5854 – KB5058379. BSOD after updating. Disabling VT for Direct I/O in BIOS virtualization settings allows the computer to boot again, but it’s not a real ‘fix’ for why this is happening. I opened a ticket with Microsoft and will update when I hear back.”
The situation is undoubtedly challenging for users, especially with the October 14 end of support date for Windows 10 approaching. While some may consider postponing the update until Microsoft provides further clarity, it’s important to note that such issues often come to light only after the fact.
On a positive note, Microsoft 365 applications will continue to receive security updates even after the end of support date for the operating system. Meanwhile, Windows 11 users appear to be unaffected by these recent complications. Efforts to obtain comments or guidance from Microsoft regarding these issues are ongoing.
