Installation Failure of KB5074109 on Windows 11 25H2 Multi-Session – Error 0x80073712

We are experiencing persistent issues installing the latest Windows update, KB5074109, on Windows 11 25H2 Multi-Session running in Azure. The installation fails on multiple machines with error code 0x80073712.

 

We have tried the following troubleshooting steps, but still the same issue:

sfc /scannow

DISM.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth

Windows Update Troubleshooter (Settings → System)

Manual download and installation of the update

 

Has anyone else run into this, or does anyone have ideas on how to fix it? Could the update itself be the problem?

    Microsoft Catalog says this is for 24H2, not 25H2 yet still shows up in Windows update.  When I try to run it manually, it says it is not for my version of Windows.
