Windows 11 KB5026372 is failing to install and is causing VPN issues

Hi Brent take here where Tech is Made

Simple last week Microsoft rolled out

the latest patch to the updates for May

of this year

and for Windows 11 2282 if we head over

to update history the update was

kb5026372

which would have been downloaded and

installed automatically onto your device

as the Patch Tuesday updates are known

to do

now once again just to give you a quick

heads up that there are now reports that

the update is once again

um like so many of these updates are

known to do is causing issues and this

is unfortunate but at this stage

Microsoft hasn't confirmed these issues

and there's nothing officially mentioned

by Microsoft

over on their known issues Health

dashboard page at this stage but most of

the reports are user feedback on

Microsoft's feedback Hub over on the

Microsoft forums and also there are

reports over on Reddit

now um just to look at the two main

issues which are being reported on

regarding the update and the first is

it's causing issues with VPN connections

and where there is a problem with the

layer 2 tunneling protocol

and the Internet Protocol security which

um the update obviously has broken to

some degree or the other and mainly um

users are seeing a decrease in download

and upload speeds

um after the update has been applied

while using a VPN so it's causing issues

with VPN connections and then the next

issue um

if we just head over to one of those

forums is the update is actually itself

failing to install

so the update is not installing and it's

causing the error

0x800-f081f and it's also generating

another error in some cases

eight double zero seven double zero

double zero two

and that's over on Microsoft's feedback

Hub and as we can see over on the

Microsoft Community forums and um

regarding the updates I'm failing to

install

um with that error and that's typically

related to a issue with the Windows

update components or a corrupted or

corrupted system files on your computer

now

I have posted a video previously um on

how to deal with Windows update issues

as an example when updates are failing

to install and I'll leave that video

down below as it will just provide you

with some useful info

but if you're not coming right any

negatives are outweighing the positives

with the update where you are

experiencing these issues and it's

really giving you a headache and causing

a headache when it comes to using your

OS then what you can do as mentioned is

you head back to your update history and

you head down to uninstall updates you

locate the update

kb5026372 you click on uninstall follow

the prompts and then you'd have to

restart your device

and to uninstall the update but just

take note though because it is a

compulsory automatic update it will just

try to reinstall itself automatically

again so what I would suggest is pause

the update for a couple of weeks until

the next update arrives but nonetheless

unfortunate

um as mentioned not officially confirmed

as yet by Microsoft and if that does

change I'll let you know but as

mentioned the main two issues are VPN

connection problems and update

installation issues so thanks for

watching and I will see you in the next

one
