Microsoft halts buggy Windows 11 preview update after install error 0x80073712

Microsoft has paused the Windows 11 non-security preview KB5079391 rollout after users reported installation errors (0x80073712); the update for 24H2/25H2 included 29 changes (Smart App Control, Display improvements, Windows Hello fingerprint reliability, Windows RE stability on ARM64) but Microsoft has not yet provided a fix timeline, likely before the April Patch Tuesday. The move follows an emergency update addressing sign-in problems and other out-of-band patches for Bluetooth visibility and RRAS security, plus guidance to fix C:\ drive access issues on Samsung Galaxy Connect-enabled devices.
