May 2026 KB5089549 make my system unbootable
Today, I have updated my HP Elite X2 G4 with May 2026 Tuesday update KB5089549 and several other updates.
The update fail, when restarted, an error dialog read Thing does not go as expected, and it roll back my system.
After restart, I attempt to update again and it fail with the same reason. So I proceed to manual update by downloading update from Mic4osoft Update Catalog. The update went fine until I restart my system.
There is an error dialog stated that my system has a problem, windows 11 attempt to repair my system and fail. This make my system unbootable.
Microsoft, Windows 11 is getting worst and worst. Updating is a real nightmare. It take forever and 5his time, may be it’s time for me to switch to Mac

same here and 051 .NET update both of these are not installing, and even while not even touching the updates they are paused... my PC runs into an issue and restarts constantly, been lagging for 10 days. PLEASE fix my pc or I'm going to linux.
051 (.NET ONE) ALSO FOR ME.. MY PC HAS BEEN LAGGING AND RESTARTING RANDOMLY FOR 10 DAYS, PLEASE FIX THIS... OR IM GOING LINUX WHEN THIS PC BLOWS UP.
Hello I've been encountering this trouble for 10 days in a row now.
kb5087051 and kb5089549 both do not install, and kb5089549 crashes my PC sometimes when I try to install it. "Your PC has ran into an error, and needs to restart" then it tries to repair on boot.. then fixes nothing.
I've ran all DSIM commands and SFC, and the first time I tried to install these updates my PC crashed and ruined my NVIDIA drivers.. and I had to run DDU in safe mode. Please stop breaking peoples PC...
I just tried a new released method by microsoft, and it literally just restarted my PC like 10 times, and made things worse.
When are we getting an appropriate fix?..
I have had this recently with a failed Windows KB. The update gets stuck mid process causing the device to boot to Automatic repair. After loads of testing we have found a work around using the following process.
On Recover screen go into Advanced Options
Go to Troubleshoot > Advanced Options > Command Prompt
Type c:
Run DiskPart
Run List disk
Run Select disk 0
Run list partition
Run select partion 1 (system)
Run assign letter=V
Exit Diskpart
Run bcdboot c:\windows /s V: /f UEFI
Restart Laptop
aftwer wasting my time to solve this issue, I have to restore my Windows 11 systm from my backup made a week ago.
AFter very extensivw search, I try to free up sapce on System reserved Partition. This is made by delete Fonts files, and SystemDiags files to free up spce
Then I try to do the update again. And it work.
Thank Microsoft for maing this update without realizing that filled up System Partition will kill everything. WEhy dont you aware and fix this before habd?
SO disappoint with Microsoft
Yeah man my PC has been broken for a week now because of this update!!!!! And I've done so many troubleshoots and nothing helps... Why are they acting like nothing is happening. FIX THE ISSUE WTF...
Thanks for posting this.
I had the same problem. I used diskpart to assign a drive letter to the System Reserved Partition and it only had 6 Mb available. Just like you, I removed the Fonts files (in Windows 11, they are in directory EFI\Microsoft\Boot\Fonts) and .bin firmware files from HP (in directory EFI\HP\DEVFW). After this, the update completed successfully.
Thanks again for this very usefull suggestion!
