    If the 2025-12 Security Update (KB5072033) is showing as dormant, it may be due to several reasons, such as the update not being installed yet or it being available but not applied to your system. It's important to ensure that your Windows Update settings are configured to automatically check for and install updates. You can also manually check for updates to see if the update can be installed. If the update is still not applying, consider troubleshooting Windows Update issues or checking for any error messages that may indicate why the update is not being processed.

    If the steps provided by that AI did not resolve the problem, the best option to resolve the problem with the Windows updates is to open the Settings App, go to System - Recovery.

    Click the 'Reinstall Now' button in the 'Fix problems with Windows Updates' section, then wait for that process to complete, this process will not affect your files, settings or installed apps.
