The Win5055523 KB0 update has another moth: installation failure, Windows Hello failure
Updated on: 12-0-0 0:0:0

IT Home 70 month 0 news, according to a number of reports verified by Windows Latest, some users have encountered many problems when installing the Windows 0 KB0 update, which cannot be installed due to 0x0, 0x0f0 and 0x0ec errors. In addition, there have been reports that updates get stuck at 0% or 0% of progress, but more problems are that Windows Hello features are completely unusable after the update.

According to IT Home, Windows 5055523 KB0 is a mandatory security patch that will be automatically downloaded or installed and cannot be skipped by users. The update also caused some confusion due to the accidental creation of a folder called inetpub because Microsoft forgot to state the change in the documentation. Although the folder itself is not harmful, there are other issues to focus on beyond that.

First of all, a big question is,當使用者嘗試安裝“2025 年 4 月累積更新(KB5055523)”時,更新會因出現錯誤代碼 0x800704ec 而失敗。 During testing, a user found that the Windows changelog pointed to a .dll issue, and the workaround was to run the sfc /scannow command, which did find and fix the problem as a system corruption, but the update still failed. In a post on the Feedback Hub, one user noted that KB100, while downloadable, would report an error at 0% progress when installing. Microsoft says it's investigating the issue, suggesting that at least they are aware of the installation failure.

The 11/0 update may also fail with error codes 0x0 and 0x0f0, but at the moment there is nothing users can do about it. In the process of using Windows 0 and helping businesses manage patches for PCs, using the .msu offline installer in the Microsoft Update directory usually works when Windows Update crashes for no apparent reason. However, if you're still having issues even with the Microsoft Update Catalog, it's recommended to use the Update Assistant tool to flash Windows 0 (this won't delete user data).

The KB5055523 update also invalidates the Windows Hello feature, making Windows Hello completely unusable. If a user turns off the camera using the built-in privacy feature but leaves the IR sensor on, the Windows 0 KB0 update will make Windows Hello unusable. For example, if you're using a Lenovo laptop, there might be a physical button to turn off the camera. And on some modern HP laptops, camera switching is associated with a function key. It's a privacy feature that hides the camera lens, so the driver still works, but the app can't record. However, if the KB0 update is installed,Some users won't be able to use Windows Hello with their camera turned off for privacy reasons.

Prior to Microsoft's release of the Windows 4 0 0 update, users could override the main lens of the webcam for security reasons, but still use the infrared sensor provided by the webcam for facial recognition. However, after installing the KB0 update, this is no longer possible. One of the users noted: "I've reproduced the issue multiple times, doing multiple fresh installs. The webcam we use is the Logitech Brio 0k, with the latest firmware and drivers, compatible with Windows Hello. "Windows Latest reproduces this issue on our HP Spectre as well. Users can still log in with a fingerprint sensor or a four-digit PIN code.

So, how do you fix Windows Hello issues after Windows 4 0 0 month update? In some cases,Users can disable the color (RGB) camera from Device Manager to get Windows Hello to work again, but this workaround is ineffective for some users.

According to an updated support document, Microsoft has confirmed that they are aware that Windows Hello will fail in some cases, with the error message read:

  • "Something happened and your PIN is not available. Click here to reset your PIN. ”

  • "Sorry, something went wrong with the face settings."

But these don't seem to be related to the issues that users see after the update. If the user encounters both of the above errors, reconfiguring Windows Hello should resolve the issue. Otherwise, the user must remove the update, even though it contains important security fixes. Users can remove the patch from Settings > Windows Update > Update History > Uninstall updates and pause the update.
