Security updates hanging during reboot and failing to install - Windows 11 24H2 on HP laptops
Posted by aPieceOfMindShit@reddit | sysadmin | View on Reddit | 10 comments
We’re currently running into a widespread issue with Windows security updates across multiple Windows versions (not tied to a single build), specifically on HP laptops running Windows 11 24H2, managed via Intune.
During the reboot phase, systems appear to hang for a very long time (sometimes several hours). Eventually, the update process seems to recover on its own and Windows boots again, but the update ultimately fails to install correctly.
Various remediation steps have already been attempted, including running system repair commands (SFC, DISM, reset health), deploying updates individually, and packaging and deploying updates as applications. All approaches result in the same behavior.
Has anyone experienced something similar, particularly on HP devices with 24H2? Any insights or known fixes would be greatly appreciated.

i dealt with that exact 0x800f0805 error on my hp fleet and it was a total nightmare to manage through intune. i spent weeks trying to fix the corrupted servicing stack but it just kept hanging for hours on every single reboot. i finally got so frustrated with the constant downtime that i just upgraded to 10 from logkeys. com via instead. it is way more consistent and actually installs patches.

What are the kb article ids of update(s) that are failing?

Do the update logs point to an error or failure?

Yes — the update logs clearly indicate a failure during the servicing phase. Specifically, the CBS logs show errors like 0x800f0805 / INVALID_PACKAGE, meaning Windows is unable to process or commit the update, which causes the installation to fail and triggers a rollback during reboot.

Have you blamed your EDR/AV yet?

We are using Defender for Endpoint, anything specific you could point us to?
