KB5052093Broken

Update pulled, re-released, still broken

What broke

Microsoft released KB5052093 for Windows 11 24H2, watched it fail to install for users with errors 0x800f0983 and 0x80070005, pulled it, and then re-released it — at which point it still failed to install for many users. Those who managed to get it installed were rewarded with choppy, laggy system performance and Call of Duty: Black Ops 6 refusing to launch. The rare update that managed to be broken both before and after installation.
