Hi Folks.

Windows 11 Update installed this item on Jan 8, 2025. Since then, it's showed up in my "Updates Ready to Download" list. The only option I have there is to download & Install.

I hoped to find it in the list of updates that I could uninstall, thinking perhaps that might do some good. Alas. Not there.

Yes, I tapped into MS Support and the chap there walked me through the Windows 11 reinstall (the one that doesn't require me to backup/install all applications, only the Windows 11 operating system.)

Ah yes... I'm running 24H2 Build 26100.2894

Any ideas?

    I've had this issue a couple of times over the last year or so. It just happened to me again today. For me at least, I think it's caused by something being updated in my third-party AV (ESET). I've seen this correspond to times when ESET asks for a PC reboot following a component update. Looking at my ESET Update Logs, it looks like the culprit might be ESET's Rapid Response module.

    I fix it by opening the Windows Security app and navigating to "Device security> Core isolation details> Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist" and temporarily turn it OFF. Then go check for Windows Updates again. It will probably give you a couple Microsoft Defender Antivirus updates (antimalware platform & Security Intelligence Update). Then turn "Microsoft Vulnerable Driver Blocklist" back ON.

    The issue should be resolved after that.

    EDIT: I forgot to mention;
    If you don't ever use Microsoft Defender Antivirus scans in addition to a third party AV, you can also prevent further unnecessary Defender AV updates by doing the following:

    •Open the Windows Security app, and navigate to "Virus & threat protection> Microsoft Defender Antivirus options" and turn OFF "Periodic scanning". (may need to reboot afterwards)

    For some reason, that option seems to get re-enabled from time-to-time.🤷‍♂️

    "While I couldn’t find any specific cases linking third-party antivirus software like Norton 360 to this glitch, it’s possible that it could be contributing to the issue. Temporarily disabling or uninstalling it might help rule that out."

    My apologies for not being clear. While following the kernel steps in the thread you provided, I turned N360 off.

    I utilized the Feedback Hub. Thanks for your expertise John.

    Thanks for the detailed update, it’s clear you’ve already gone above and beyond to troubleshoot this issue. Since the steps in the thread didn’t resolve it, and the update doesn’t appear in the uninstall list, this does seem like an issue that might require a patch to fully address.

    If you’re okay with waiting for the next security update, that’s a reasonable approach. To ensure you receive the latest patch as soon as it’s available, head to Settings > Windows Update > and toggle On the "Get the latest updates as soon as they’re available".

    In the meantime, I recommend relying solely on the Windows Security app to protect your system. While I couldn’t find any specific cases linking third-party antivirus software like Norton 360 to this glitch, it’s possible that it could be contributing to the issue. Temporarily disabling or uninstalling it might help rule that out.

    I also highly encourage you to provide feedback to Microsoft so they’re aware of the issue. You can do this by pressing Windows key + F on your keyboard and describing the problem in detail.

    Should you need further information please let me know.

    I hope these steps help bring some clarity or progress to the situation.
