The fresh update for May hasn’t caused any major problems, but an installation error is proving frustrating for some.
Windows 10’s latest cumulative update is seemingly failing to install for some users, producing an error which is reportedly caused – at least in some cases – by a conflict related to Microsoft’s Edge browser. The installation procedure for update KB5003173, which is the monthly patch for May delivered to October 2020 Update and May 2020 Update versions of Windows 10, is failing with an ‘0x800f0922’ error, after rebooting and informing users that there are problems completing the update, then rolling back the installation. This is the case according to a number of reports on Reddit as flagged by Windows Latest. What’s going on here? Seemingly this issue is related to having uninstalled Microsoft’s revamped Chromium-based version of Edge. As those posters on Reddit, and a reader who got in touch with Windows Latest, all point out, reinstalling the new Edge browser apparently cures the bug and allows KB5003173 to successfully install for those who were getting the error.
