  • Patch KB5048239 for Windows 10 was first deployed in November 2024
  • It’s now been installed again as part of Microsoft’s patching for January 2025
  • However, this update is reportedly installing itself over and over again, and for quite a number of Windows 10 users it seems

Ever had a Windows 10 (or Windows 11) update that failed to install? That’s a problem I’ve noticed happens relatively often, but a new twist on misfiring updates is a patch that keeps on installing itself, despite being successfully installed in the past.

This is what’s apparently happening with Windows 10, and the update in question is patch KB5048239, as Neowin reports.
