WSUS upgrades blocked, mystery inetpub folder created

April’s Patch Tuesday blocked enterprise WSUS upgrades to Windows 11 24H2 with error 0x80240069, leaving IT departments unable to migrate their fleets through their own update infrastructure. As a bonus, it silently created a mysterious empty C:\inetpub folder on every single Windows 11 system — Microsoft’s idea of “security hardening” for a web server directory that 99% of users have never needed. Admins who deleted the folder found it kept coming back. The WSUS blockage required either waiting for the May patch or deploying a Known Issue Rollback Group Policy, because nothing says “enterprise-ready” like needing a special policy to undo your update infrastructure breaking itself.
