2026-01 Security Update (KB5074109) (26200.7623) fails all the time.
On a fairly new laptop (purchased early December 2025), 2026-01 Security Update (KB5074109) (26200.7623) keeps failing. The suggested solutions on a Google search did not provide any assistance. Is this a known issue that Microsoft is working on?
