Microsoft has fixed a known issue causing restart loops and taskbar problems on Windows 11 systems after installing the June KB5039302 preview update.

“This issue was resolved in updates released July 9, 2024 (KB5040442) and later,” the company said in an update added to the Windows release health page on Tuesday.

“We recommend you install the latest security update for your device. It contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.”

The known issue only impacts systems running Windows 11 23H2 and Windows 11 22H2, with users of Windows Home edition less likely to experience it because virtualization is less common in home environments.

This fix comes after Redmond was forced to pull the update on June 27 after reports that it was causing some Windows devices to restart repeatedly while others failed to start altogether.
