Automated Azure network change knocked Windows Update offline for hours

Microsoft has linked the July 23 disruption that blocked Windows 11 downloads to an error in an automated network-maintenance change. The incident affected connectivity in Azure’s West US region from 14:44 UTC until 19:41 UTC, disrupting Windows Update, the Microsoft Update Catalog, Microsoft Store, and Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). Users and administrators saw failed downloads, timeouts, delayed updates, and problems installing Store applications.
