Windows 10 update KB5068781 from November 11th, 2025 was the dream of all Windows 10 users. As the first ESU update, it’s meant to keep Windows 10 PCs protected from malware and hacker attacks even though support for Windows 10 officially ended back in October. However, installation of update KB5068781 is failing in some cases, reports BleepingComputer.
According to the report, Microsoft has confirmed that it’s investigating a bug that prevents extended security update KB5068781 from being installed on devices with a company license, failing with an error message. As one user complains, “The update appears to install successfully, but after a restart, it fails to apply and rolls back with the common error 0x800f0922.”
The problem doesn’t appear to affect Windows 10 users on private consumer licenses. Microsoft has narrowed down the problem to a root cause that only affects the activation of Windows subscriptions via the Microsoft 365 Admin Center.
However, Microsoft has not yet revealed when it will solve the problem or release a patch for it. There’s also currently no workaround that can be used to circumvent the problem.
Regular users can still install KB5068781
Based on what we know, Windows 10 users who aren’t on a company-licensed PC can still install the very first Windows 10 ESU update without any issues. Learn more about what’s in this update!
As soon as your Windows 10 PC is registered for ESU, it’ll automatically install KB5068781 because it’s an important security update. You therefore don’t need to install it manually. After installing this update, Windows 10 will have build number 19045.6575.
