One of the biggest reasons why you need Windows updates for your business or personal computers is the majority of these updates are security updates. Security issues are often identified in a variety of Windows parts, such as the.Net Framework, ActiveX, and Internet Explorer and much more.
However not all updates are helpful as we have seen in the past, Microsoft’s track record is not that one of any very helpful measure when it comes to work flow production and performance in fact many have simply locked everything up to a crawling system after applying these updates.
Patch Tuesday gives us an opportunity to review what other users in the world are experiencing before applying these updates, I recommend suspending updates for up to 2 weeks before applying them see what is going down before you end up being a victim of BSOD, crashing or other undesired conditions rendering your system useless.
Please ensure you are creating a new Windows restore point prior to any updates being installed.

Known issues in this update
Growing numbers of people are experiencing failed installations with KB5003173 and are seeing an error 0x800f0922. While yet to be confirmed, it appears that the problem is related to the manual removal of the forcibly installed Chromium-based Microsoft Edge.
Reports have been cropping up on Reddit — and elsewhere — with complaints about the 0x800f0922 error after trying to install KB5003173. One of the functions of this update is to ensure that users have the new version of Edge installed rather than the legacy one, and this is where things are falling down for people who have taken things into their own hands.
Tip: A workaround is a fairly simple one. If you have manually uninstalled the non-legacy version of Microsoft Edge, you need simply reinstall the Chromium-based version of the browser. Alternatively, you can use Explorer to navigate to C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft and delete the Edge folder before restarting Windows.
After doing either of these things, you should find that you are then able to install the KB5003173 update without any problems.
