Microsoft has just issued an unscheduled cumulative update, KB5072753, specifically tailored for Windows 11 25H2. This update is aimed at rectifying a problem that caused the system to become ensnared in an 'endless installation cycle.' Prior to this, following the installation of the hotfix KB5068966, which was released on November 11, 2025, users encountered a situation where, during Windows Update scans, the system would persistently request and redownload the identical patch. While this hiccup did not impede the system's core functionality, it undoubtedly led to annoyance and an unnecessary drain on system resources. Being a cumulative update, KB5072753 not only resolves the installation cycle dilemma but also encompasses the security enhancements and functional fixes that were part of KB5068966. Users have the option to directly implement this update. In case KB5068966 hasn't been installed yet, users are advised to bypass that particular patch and proceed directly with the installation of KB5072753.
