The Windows 10 May 2022 Update launched on May 22, and while Microsoft has gone to great lengths to try to make sure that this latest major update to Windows 10 is not plagued by the same level of problems that the October 2022 Update suffered, there have been some Windows 10 May 2022 Update problems spotted already.
However, if you're suffering from a Windows 10 2022 Update problem that we haven’t covered, follow and tweet us and we’ll do what we can to find a solution. We’ll also continue to update this article with all the latest problems and fixes when we hear about them.
Fix Cortana (SearchUI.exe) high CPU usage in Windows 10 May 2022 Update
Microsoft recently released the Windows 10 KB4512941 update for the Windows 10 May 2022 Update, and while the update has brought a number of fixes, it appears it has also introduced a serious problem where some users are seeing incredibly high CPU usage after installing the update – which is caused by Cortana, Microsoft's voice assistant.
To fix the issue, open the Registry by pressing Windows + R on your keyboard and type in 'regedit'.
Open up 'HKEY_CURRENT_USER' then browse to \Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Search.
There, you’ll find a registry entry called 'BingSearchEnabled'. Select it, and set the 'Reg Value' to 0.
This will stop local search queries you perform on your PC being sent to Bing, Microsoft’s online search engine, which looks like the main cause of the high CPU usage issue.
You can also fix the issue by uninstalling the update by opening up Settings, clicking 'Update & Security', then click 'View update history'. Click 'Uninstall updates' then select the KB4512941 update and click 'Uninstall'.
Fix problems that stop Windows 10 May 2022 Update from finishing the install
There’s nothing more frustrating than seeing an update seemingly install without a problem, and then getting an error message at the last moment.

If the Windows 10 2022 Update fails with an 0x800F0922 error, this may be because you have an active VPN connection that's interfering with Windows 10 contacting the update servers. To fix this issue, disconnect from the VPN server and try again.
This error can also occur if the System Reserved partition on your hard drive is full or not large enough. A third party software tool can help you resize your partition.
Disable anti-virus software
Antivirus software is certainly helpful to have, but it can sometimes cause problems when trying to install the Windows 10 2022 Update.
If you have antivirus software installed, try disabling that before trying to install the Windows 10 2022 Update, as that may fix the problem. You should then enable it and use it normally once the installation has completed.
You may even need to uninstall the software temporarily. Just make sure that you reinstall it once the update installs successfully.
