Windows 11 KB5079391 update pulled as Microsoft scrambles to address installation issues

Windows 11 Update Windowsupdate Estimate New Light.

Microsoft has pulled its latest non-security preview update for Windows 11 users that it released to the public just a few days ago. The update, dubbed KB5079391, was released as an optional update to production PCs on Thursday, March 26, before being pulled on Friday evening.

The update was pulled due to some users reporting installation issues, and Microsoft says that its removal from Windows Update is just temporary. The good news is this issue never resulted in PCs becoming inoperable. Instead, the update simply failed to install with error 0x80073712 appearing in Windows Update. Your PC would continue to operate like normal even with the update failing.
