Microsoft Halts Windows 11 Update Due to Critical Boot Loop Issue

The KB5039302 preview update causes repeated restarts, affecting virtualization tools and requiring recovery operations.

The KB5039302 update was pulled after users reported systems stuck in boot loops and startup failures.
The issue primarily impacts devices using virtualization features like CloudPC, DevBox, and Azure Virtual Desktop.
Windows Home edition users are less likely to experience the problem due to lower usage of virtualization.
Affected users need to uninstall the update via the Windows 11 Recovery Environment to restore functionality.
Microsoft is investigating the cause and has paused the update to prevent further issues.
