Microsoft acknowledged that the June 2024 Windows 11 KB5039302 preview update broke Windows Update Agent API usage in enterprise automation scripts, causing empty query results and error 0x8002802B. The company deployed a Known Issue Rollback that should reach devices within 24 hours (or after a reboot) and released a KIR Group Policy for Windows 11 22H2/23H2 to expedite remediation, with a permanent fix coming in a future update; related restart loop and taskbar issues tied to the same preview update were also fixed.
