Answer 1

To roll back the Windows 11 Pro Security Update (KB5074109), you can try the following steps:

1. Use System Restore: If you have System Restore enabled, you can revert your system to a point before the update was installed. To do this:
   • Search for "System Restore" in the Start menu.
   • Open "Create a restore point".
   • Click on the "System Restore" button and follow the prompts to choose a restore point before the update.
2. Uninstall Updates via Settings: If the update does not show up in the Uninstall updates section, you may need to check under "View update history" in the Windows Update settings. Sometimes updates can be listed there.
   • Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update > View update history.
   • Click on "Uninstall updates" and see if KB5074109 is listed.
3. Command Prompt: If the update is not visible in the settings, you can try using the Command Prompt to uninstall it:
   • Open Command Prompt as an administrator.
   • Type the command: wusa /uninstall /kb:5074109 and press Enter.
4. Check for Known Issues: Since you are experiencing issues after this update, it may be worth checking if Microsoft has acknowledged any problems with KB5074109. They often provide guidance or fixes for known issues in their release notes.

If these steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to consider additional troubleshooting for the GPU rendering problem, such as updating your GPU drivers or checking for other system updates that might address the issue.

Answer 2

Rolling back from 26200.7623 to 26200.7462 completely resolved the issue. GPU rendering (RTX 4090), dxgmms2 crashes, and KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE are gone. This confirms a regression in KB5074109 affecting graphics workloads. Windows Updates paused to prevent reinstallation.

Hii,

Do the following: uninstall the recent update just to test and see if the problem persists.

After uninstalling Open the command prompt (admin) and run the commands: sfc /scannow and dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth, wait for the process to finish and restart the computer.

Then perform a clean boot and if you want to uninstall applications that you do not use.

After installing the drivers above, access the Nvidia control panel > manage 3D settings > Auto select change to High process nvidia.

Also check if the internal video driver is up to date.

Thanks

I reinstalled it by downloading the update from https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=5074109 and all is good. not sure why: Microsoft have done something or because it was previously installed via windows update. and that resolved the issue. I’m not entirely sure what caused it—possibly a recent Microsoft change or the fact that it was previously installed via Windows Update. I’d like to test a bit more to be certain.
