Microsoft admitted issues with the August patch Tuesday update, potentially failing to install through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), with home users largely unaffected. The failure leads to an error code 0x80240069, blocking critical security updates for Windows 11, version 24H2. Although WSUS is deprecated, it remains supported for production. Users can still install patches manually, while Microsoft is working on a long-term resolution to be included in a future update. Group policy options are also provided to address the issue temporarily.
Microsoft has admitted that the August patch Tuesday update might fail to install through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS), but it's ok, admins. Home users are "unlikely to experience this issue."
According to Microsoft, "the August 12, 2025 Windows security update for Windows 11, version 24H2, might fail to install with error code 0x80240069 when installed via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)."
There's no indication of when Microsoft will resolve this latest issue. You can still install the patch manually, which will doubtless delight administrators who would like nothing more than to deal with affected devices this way.
Microsoft said that "We are working to include the resolution in a future Windows update. Once the update with the resolution is released, organizations will not need to install and configure this Group Policy to address this issue."
