Security News > 2023 > October > Microsoft fixes Windows 10 security update installation issue
Microsoft has resolved a known issue that caused Windows 10 security updates released during this month's Patch Tuesday to fail with 0x8007000d errors.
For systems impacted by this issue, specifically Windows 10 21H2 and Windows 10 22H2, the KB5031356 security update would fail despite displaying initial progress during deployment.
"Based on our reports, some of the most common errors being encountered is Error 8007000D. This error can be found from the Windows Update view under System settings, by selecting Update History."
Microsoft resolved the issue over the weekend via Known Issue Rollback, a Windows feature enabling the reversal of buggy non-security updates distributed through Windows Update.
The company still needs to provide a KIR Group Policy for Windows administrators to help resolve the security update install issue on affected Windows enterprise-managed devices.
