Since Patch Tuesday on November 10, 2026, some Windows 11 users say the cumulative update KB5132061 refuses to download or install, with error 0x800f0993 or 0x800f0989 (reported by Neowin). Microsoft still lists no known issue. Let's pool our results to see which PCs are affected and what actually works.

Please share:
- Your exact error code, your Windows 11 version and build (Settings > System > About: 26H2, 25H2 or 24H2), and whether the failure happens while downloading or while installing (percentage, restart, rollback).
- Your servicing stack version (DISM /Online /Get-Packages | findstr /i "ServicingStack"): is it at least the version Microsoft requires?
- What you tried, in order (troubleshooter, clearing SoftwareDistribution, DISM + SFC, manual .msu from the Microsoft Update Catalog), and which step finally worked, or not.
- Anything unusual on your PC: third-party antivirus, disk almost full, Insider builds, dual boot, managed work PC?
- Did the update suddenly install on its own a few hours later? That would point to a server-side problem.
