Microsoft has once again pulled an update for Windows 11. Just hours after its release, the company had to take version KB5079391 offline. Microsoft aimed to improve the quality of updates and focus more on the development of Windows 11. However, the current preview update once again shows installation issues.
Endless Update Loop Causes Frustration
According to “WindowsLatest,” some users report that their system is stuck in an endless loop after installing KB5079391. The operating system repeatedly attempts to install the update without ever completing successfully. The error code 0x80073712 appears, indicating that important system files are missing in the component store. The exact cause of the error remains unclear.

In the past, faulty updates have repeatedly led to serious problems, including data loss or system crashes.
