"Following installation of the June 2025 Windows non-security preview update (KB5060829), security event logs might include an error event related to Windows Firewall With Advanced Security, which can be safely ignored," the company said on the Windows release health dashboard. Microsoft asked customers this week to disregard incorrect Windows Firewall errors that appear after rebooting their systems following the installation of the June 2025 preview update. The same month, Microsoft confirmed and fixed another known issue that triggered invalid 0x80070643 failure errors after installing the April 2025 Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) updates. These warnings are logged in the Event Viewer as 'Event 2042' for Windows Firewall with Advanced Security, with a 'Config Read Failed' warning and a 'More data is available' message. These incorrect firewall errors will only appear on Windows 11 24H2 systems, but they shouldn't impact any Windows processes associated with this event. In April, the company resolved a bug that caused incorrect BitLocker drive encryption errors on Windows 10 and Windows 11 devices due to a reporting issue. "Please note Windows Firewall is expected to function normally, and no action is required to prevent or resolve this error event. Redmond acknowledged this bug in October and stated that it only impacted managed Windows environments where drive encryption was enforced for the operating system and fixed drives. In recent months, Redmond has dealt with similar issues affecting other Windows features, resulting in more erroneous warnings with no actual impact.
