Microsoft is investigating reports that the January 2026 Windows 11 security updates (KB5074109) are causing some physical devices on versions 24H2 and 25H2 to fail to boot with an "UNMOUNTABLE_BOOT_VOLUME" error, requiring manual recovery; users are asked to submit Feedback Hub reports while the company analyzes whether the update caused the regression, and an out-of-band fix was also issued for Outlook freezes with PSTs in cloud storage.
