Microsoft has rolled out a Known Issue Rollback .msi with group-policy support to address WSUS failures pending a permanent update fix.

Overview

  • KB5063878 introduces Quick Machine Recovery for remote repair and restart of unresponsive Windows 11 PCs.
  • Installations distributed via WSUS and SCCM frequently fail with error codes 0x80240069, 0x80240031 and 0x800f0922, indicating package-processing issues.
  • The Known Issue Rollback .msi and GPO template can be deployed centrally to revert the problematic patch on managed devices.

  • Microsoft is developing a permanent fix that will be delivered in an upcoming Windows update to fully resolve the distribution errors.
