Microsoft’s Latest Update Disaster: KB5068781 Throws a Tantrum

Oh, look! Microsoft managed to screw the pooch *again.* The shiny new Windows 10 KB5068781 “Extended Security Update” decided to shit itself with the glorious 0x800f0922 error. Because apparently, the one thing we could rely on from these clowns is a patch that breaks more than it fixes.

This majestic little fuck-up mainly targets those poor bastards on the Extended Security Updates program—the ones paying extra to *not* have to use Windows 11. The update either refuses to install or coughs up an error faster than you can say “reboot and pray.” Microsoft, being the ever-helpful overlords they are, admitted the issue might happen if your system files are borked, or the ReFS driver isn’t installed when Windows Update goes on its drunk escapade.

The “solution” (and I use that word loosely) involves reinstalling some update components, resetting the Windows Update service, or summoning the dark arts—because, let’s face it, this kind of voodoo troubleshooting is normal for Windows these days. Oh, and “some” folks report success with manual installation. Translation: you’ll be doing Microsoft’s job, one Windows Update disaster at a time.

So yeah—same old story. Another patch Tuesday, another dumpster fire. KB5068781 joins the long-ass list of “why the hell won’t my update work” sagas. Somewhere in Redmond, someone’s probably patting themselves on the back for “resolving known issues.”

Reminds me of the time I pushed a “fix” to a user’s workstation that mysteriously formatted their C drive. They shouldn’t have clicked “yes” on an update prompt anyway. And now, just like Microsoft, I’ll shrug, smirk, and say: “Working as intended.”
