\"Windows\"[German<\/a>]On August 19, 2025, Microsoft released the previously announced out-of-band updates for Windows 10 (KB5066188) and Windows 11 (KB5066189). These updates replace the regular updates from August 12, 2025, and are intended to resolve the reported issue with the broken restore and recovery.

The problem with the August 2025 update<\/h2>\n

\"\"Microsoft released on August 12, 2025 various cumulative security updates for Windows clients and servers, which I described in the articles PPatchday: Windows 10\/11 Updates (August 12, 2025)<\/a> and Patchday: Windows Server Updates (August 12, 2025)<\/a>.<\/p>\n

However, various Windows clients encountered the problem that the functions for resetting and repairing Windows (Reset and Recovery) no longer worked under Windows 10 and Windows 11. I reported the details in the blog post August 2025 Patch Day Review: Upgrade Error 0x8007007F; Reset\/Recovery Broken<\/a>and also listed all affected Windows client versions. Microsoft had announced out-of-band updates for Windows 10 and Windows 11.<\/p>\n

Out-of-band updates for Windows 10\/11<\/h2>\n

German blog readers have already pointed out in comments (here<\/a> and here<\/a>) that Microsoft released out-of-band updates for Windows 10 (KB5066188) and Windows 11 (KB5066189) on August 19, 2025 (thanks for that). On August 19, 2025, Microsoft published the support articleReset and recovery operations on some Windows versions might fail<\/a>\u00a0on the Windows Update Release Health page and marked the issue as \"resolved.\"<\/p>\n

It is said that the described problem has been resolved with the out-of-band (OOB) updates KB5066189<\/a> (Windows 11 22H2 – 23H2) and KB5066188<\/a> (Windows 10 21H2 (LTBS) and 22H2). Microsoft recommends installing these updates instead of the regular updates.<\/p>\n

Fritz writes here<\/a> that an out-of-band update KB5066187<\/a> has also been released for Windows Server 2019 (and Windows 10 2019 (IoT) Enterprise LTSC). The previous updates are marked as \"superseded\" in WSUS. Bolko notes<\/a> here that the new updates re-enable telemetry.<\/p>\n
