Several issues after installing KB5094127

AAC 0

I've been having several problems after downloading KB5094127 to my windows 10 computer version 22H2 Build 19045.7291

After downloading and installing, I rebooted as prompted and upon startup, Task Manager ran (it's not one of my startup processes) and after a few minutes the computer froze. This happened again after a another reboot.

I ran DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth then sfc /scannow and that seemed to fix the freezing up problem.

However, my PC continuously downloads and "installs" that update every day or upon reboot or when it wakes up.

The computer repeatedly says the update was successful, but the Build hasn't updated and it continues to download KB5094127

There are no error messages associated with this update on my computer, only that it has "successfully installed" (while it hasn't)

I had the same problem, and I found a fix!. After KB5094127 [2026-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems] my PC would freeze after 5 minutes of use. I could reboot in Safe Mode with Networking, and could stay online for hours. I tried removing the latest patch using the Windows PE/RE environment, that failed. I tried to fix it for a few days, everything failed. I recovered my data via command line, then had to format, and reinstall.

On my fresh install, I did all the Windows Updates available prior to enrolling in extended support (today is 2026-06-28). I made a Restore Point, then enrolled in extended support. Installing the 2026-05 (May) update, it worked fine for several hours. I then installed KB5094127 2026-06 (June) update, and the problem returned, Windows freezing after about 5 minutes. Luckily, I was able to roll back to the restore point. I did a few more tests, all resulting in a crash every time after 5 minutes, I feel confident KB5094127 is at fault.

I searched and found a Microsoft tool that blocks (hides) specific updates from ever being applied. Instructions can be found here, but it is as simple as running the app called wushowhide.diagcab, and ticking the box next to the update you need to skip, eg:

[x] 2026-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5094127)

This might mean we are behind in Security Updates, but at least the system is stable.

Answer 1

If the issue persists, please try performing an In-place Upgrade. It will definitely help in resolving update errors. Performing this can repair broken operating system files while your personal files, settings and installed applications will not be removed.

Few things to check on the PC

Unplug all external peripherals except for the Mouse, Keyboard, and LAN cable before starting
Disable or uninstall any third-party Antivirus program to prevent it from interfering with the upgrade

Download the media creation tool (Click Download tool now) and save it to your computer.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows10

Open the tool and select Upgrade this PC now.

Make sure to select Keep personal files and apps.

It might take some time to install Windows 10. Your computer will restart a few times, make sure you don’t turn off your PC

Can't do a screenshot right now, but as my PC shows this today (6/29/26): 2026-06 Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x-64 based Systems (KB5094127)

Status: Installing - 20%...

It also shows in View Update History that Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2 for x-64 based Systems (KB5094127) was successfully installed on 6/27/2026.

I'll try to update manually but I think I'll get more of the same.

Hi, good day!

Have you checked your Update history to see if KB5094127 is listed there and if it was successfully installed?

Please try to reset Windows Update components manually

Press Windows key+X then select either Windows PowerShell (Admin) or Terminal (Admin)

Copy each command line into PowerShell or Terminal, and then press Enter (one line at a time).

          net stop bits
          net stop wuauserv
          net stop appidsvc
          net stop cryptsvc
          Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\*.*"
          rmdir %systemroot%\SoftwareDistribution /S /Q
          rmdir %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 /S /Q
          regsvr32.exe /s atl.dll
          regsvr32.exe /s urlmon.dll
          regsvr32.exe /s mshtml.dll
          netsh winsock reset
          netsh winsock reset proxy
          net start bits
          net start wuauserv
          net start appidsvc
          net start cryptsvc

Restart your computer.

Hi,

When I enter this command: Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader*.*"

I get this:

Del : Cannot find path 'C:\WINDOWS\system32%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader' because it does not exist.

At line:1 char:1

Del "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Application Data\Microsoft\Network\Downloader\ ...

+ CategoryInfo : ObjectNotFound: (C:\WINDOWS\syst...work\Downloader:String) [Remove-Item], ItemNotFoundException + FullyQualifiedErrorId : PathNotFound,Microsoft.PowerShell.Commands.RemoveItemCommand

(might that be a command for windows 11, not 10?)
