The Windows 11 June 2024 Update (KB5060842 and KB5063060) has introduced several performance improvements, but many users are reporting installation failures, system freezes, and compatibility issues. Microsoft has acknowledged some of these problems and is working on fixes, but in the meantime, here’s how you can troubleshoot the most common issues.

Common Problems with the June 2024 Update

Users have reported several recurring issues after installing the latest Windows 11 update:

  • Installation failures with error codes like 0x80070002 or 0x800f0922.
  • System freezes during boot or while using resource-heavy applications.
  • Gaming performance drops, particularly with EAC (Easy Anti-Cheat) compatibility issues.
  • Software conflicts with third-party antivirus or optimization tools.
  • BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) errors, often related to driver incompatibilities.

How to Fix Installation Issues

1. Run the Windows Update Troubleshooter

Microsoft’s built-in troubleshooter can automatically detect and resolve common update problems:

  1. Open Settings > System > Troubleshoot > Other troubleshooters.
  2. Select Windows Update and click Run.
  3. Follow the on-screen instructions to apply fixes.

2. Manually Download and Install the Update

If automatic updates fail, you can manually install the update from the Microsoft Update Catalog:

  1. Visit the Microsoft Update Catalog.
  2. Search for KB5060842 or KB5063060.
  3. Download the correct version for your system (x64 or ARM64).
  4. Double-click the downloaded .msu file to install.

3. Free Up Disk Space

Windows updates require sufficient free space (at least 20GB recommended). Use Disk Cleanup to remove temporary files:

  1. Press Win + S, type Disk Cleanup, and open it.
  2. Select Clean up system files.
  3. Check Windows Update Cleanup and other unnecessary files.
  4. Click OK to delete them.

Resolving Stability and Performance Issues

1. Roll Back the Update (If Necessary)

If your system becomes unstable, you can uninstall the problematic update:

  1. Open Settings > Windows Update > Update history.
  2. Click Uninstall updates.
  3. Locate KB5060842 or KB5063060, select it, and click Uninstall.

2. Update Drivers

Outdated drivers are a common cause of crashes. Update them via Device Manager or your manufacturer’s website:

  1. Press Win + X and select Device Manager.
  2. Right-click each device and choose Update driver.
  3. Select Search automatically for drivers.

3. Disable Conflicting Software

Some third-party apps (especially antivirus and gaming utilities) can interfere with updates:

  • Temporarily disable real-time protection in your antivirus.
  • Close background apps like Razer Synapse, MSI Afterburner, or Discord overlay.
