Adding more pain to the Microsoft misery!!

Yesterday we reported on a small but useful change Microsoft has introduced with the newest Windows 11 Patch Tuesday (May 2026) update, wherein the company now has a centralized folder for all the necessary Secure Boot update scripts. These updates are crucial for the proper and secure booting of all Windows PCs, as the older ones are set to expire very soon.

While that’s great for those who are able to install new updates, Microsoft has confirmed that’s not the case for everyone. The issue first started when users began noticing online that they were unable to download the March 2026 Patch KB50794373. As such, consecutive updates, including the emergency out-of-band updates, KB5086672 and KB5091157, also did not install, and neither did the April and May Patch Tuesday updates. Essentially, the Windows Update button inside the Settings app does not proceed with the update and ends up with a 0x80010002 error message.

Hence users who were encountering this problem have not had the latest security updates for a few months, plus they are missing the aforementioned critical security update for Secure Boot as well as updated certificates that are also being delivered via the Windows Update channel.
