Windows 10: Has anybody reported issues with the latest updates KB5028185 or KB5028851 on Windows 11.

My three attempts to install these have resulted in blue screen stopcode: Critical process died. Performed recovery process each time which removed the updates and restored my PC to full working condition

2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 failed to install but no longer shows up

Hello,

I recently tried to install the following updates:

1) 2023-07 Cumulative Update for .NET Framework, 3.5 and 4.8.1 for Windows 11, version 22H2 for x64 (KB5028851)

2) 2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5028185)

The .NET Framework update installed just fine, but Windows Update said the second one (KB5028185) "failed" to install. I clicked "Retry," and I was told that it "failed" to install the update a second time. However, Windows Update now says my computer is "up to date," and it doesn't find any updates to install when I click "Check for updates."

Worst of all, when I click on "Update history," it doesn't mention KB5028185 at all, so the most recent security update that was "successfully installed" is the one released on June 13, 2023. For reference, it is listed as: 2023-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5027119)

So, in short, I need to figure out whether the following update was installed: 2023-07 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5028185)

It doesn't show up in the update history, and it's obviously very important since it was meant to address a variety of security issues. Here's the official web page for it: July 11, 2023--KB5028185 https://support.microsoft.com/en-us...621-1992-605fa18f-bd49-41d8-80b1-245080e26c3d

One last thing worth mentioning: I opened Windows Event Viewer, clicked on Windows Logs, then clicked Setup, where I found the following messages for July 11, 2023:

"Initiating changes for package KB5026372. Current state is Superseded. Target is Absent. Client id: Arbiter." (Not sure what this is)

"Initiating changes for package KB5026549. Current state is Installed. Target is Absent. Client id: Arbiter." (Not sure what this is)

"Package KB5028185 was successfully changed to the Installed state." (Update that gave me a "failed" message)

"Package KB5028851 was successfully changed to the Installed state." (.NET update that succeeded)

This seems to confirm that KB5028185 was successfully installed even though the "Update History" in the Windows Update menu has no record of it, but I need to make sure. Please help me make sense of what is going on here.

Thanks.

If that doesn't help, a repair installation should fix the issue. See How to run In-place upgrade in Windows 11 - Microsoft Community.

 

HP Spectre Folio 13 lost Bluetooth after latest Windows 11 update

After the most recent Windows 11 update, Bluetooth on this HP Spectre Folio 13t-Ak000 CTO stopped working. The computer refuses to report that it has Bluetooth, so no controls are visible. Given the proximity to the Windows 11 update, I am assuming that it is a software conflict rather than a hardware failure. The latest manufacturer's updates are for Windows 10 only.

The following steps were taken, to no avail:

• Airplane mode was turned on and off.
  
• A corrupted device driver, suspected as being the misinterpreted Bluetooth driver, was removed and the computer was rebooted to force a reinstallation.
  
• All Windows and HP updates were installed, including a BIOS update.
  
• System File Checker repaired the OS.
  
• HP's network drivers were downloaded and reinstalled on the system.
  
• The Bluetooth troubleshooter was run but no Bluetooth hardware was detected.
  

I have also posted this report on the HP boards. I have considered looking for the component manufacturer's Bluetooth drivers, if any, but I can't figure out the manufacturer. Any suggestions would be welcome.
