    I have an Alienware M18 R2 with the same issue. 2025-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5050009) is stuck at 6% and does nothing. I did a system recovery two times and still same issue. Has this been fixed?

    Regards,

    Jorge

    This is a common situation, as some updates may require specific firmware or BIOS versions to ensure compatibility or address potential issues with the system.

    1. Open Windows Settings:
      • Press Windows + I to open the Settings menu.
    2. Navigate to Windows Update:
      • Go to Update & Security (or just Windows Update if you're already in the newer version of settings).
      • Click on Windows Update in the left sidebar.
    3. Go to Advanced Options:
      • Scroll down and click on Advanced options.
    4. Access Optional Updates:
      • Under the Optional updates section, click on View optional updates.
      • This is where you'll typically find available firmware or driver updates. If a firmware update is listed here, you can select it and then click Download and Install.
    5. Install the Firmware Update:
      • If there is a firmware update available, install it first. Once it’s done, restart your PC.
    6. Check for the Cumulative Update:
      • After the firmware update is installed and the PC restarts, you should be able to go back to Windows Update and check for the Cumulative Update (KB5050009) again.

    I used Dell Support Assist and installed some firmware and BIOS updates. After a reboot, the 2025-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5050009) update was installed, but it took some time. After that reboot, the PC booted and crashed with the blue screen of death. After a second reboot, it crashed again. On the third attempt, it finally booted. So far, it has worked well. I will now work on cloning the disk for the future.

    Regards,

    Jorge

    Hi Jorge,

    Thanks for the comments and guide. Indeed since November 2024 update I'm having the same issue any time install Windows 11 update, once reboot it crashes on blue screen, after 2nd or 3rd reboot finally booted and works fine with no issues.

    Already run Support Assist and Dell Command Update for updates but all is updated. BIOS is updated to the latest version available for Dell Latitude 7390.

    Long story short, the issue is only with "2025-01 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 24H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5050009)" is stuck and not instilling on restart.

    Thanks

    Regards
