“Something didn’t go as planned. Undoing changes.” That’s all the clue some Windows 11 users will get when Microsoft’s May Security Update fails to install because of insufficient free space on the EFI System Partition (ESP), leaving their systems unprotected by the dozens of patches it contained. This issue affects devices with limited free space available — typically 10MB or less — on the ESP. “On affected devices, the installation might proceed through the initial phases but fail during the reboot phase at approximately 35-36% completion,” Microsoft said in an advisory.

Microsoft claimed that Together Mode users were less likely to experience video meeting fatigue — a common complaint among remote workers as tools such as Teams and Zoom became the norm for office collaboration. The feature could be seen as part of a wider push for more engaging and immersive meeting experiences, a move that extended to Microsoft’s metaverse for work concept, with its Mesh 3D meeting p
