Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration

Important:
Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices are set to expire starting in June 2026. This might affect the ability of certain personal and business devices to boot securely if not updated in time. To avoid disruption, we recommend reviewing the guidance and taking action to update certificates in advance. For details and preparation steps, see Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration and CA updates.

To learn more about Windows update terminology, see types of Windows updates and monthly quality update types. For an overview, see the update history page for Windows 11, version 24H2.

Stay informed! Follow @WindowsUpdate for the latest updates from the Windows release health dashboard.

Windows Updates do not include updates for Microsoft Store apps.
If you're an enterprise user, see Microsoft Store apps - Configuration Manager.
If you're an consumer user, see Get updates for apps and games in Microsoft Store.

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5065381)- 26100.4933​

This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates. To learn more about SSUs, see Simplifying on-premises deployment of servicing stack updates.

Known issues in this update

1 Error events are logged for CertificateServicesClient

Symptoms

After installing the July 2025 Windows non-security preview update (KB5062600) or a later update, including the August 2025 Windows security update, you might see the following error in Event Viewer related to CertificateServicesClient (CertEnroll):

The "Microsoft Pluton Cryptographic Provider" provider was not loaded because initialization failed.

This event appears with Error ID 57 and is logged every time the device restarts. It does not indicate a problem with any active Windows component. The event is related to a feature that is currently in development.

There is no impact to Windows functionality, and no action is required.

Workaround

This issue is addressed in KB5064081.

2 Install error with error code 0x80240069

Symptoms

The August 2025 security update (KB5063878) might fail to install with error code 0x80240069 when deployed through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS). WSUS enables servers with the WSUS role to defer, selectively approve, and schedule updates for specific devices or groups across an organization.

This issue is unlikely to affect home users, as WSUS is intended for use in business and enterprise environments.

Workaround

The issue affecting the Windows Update service for devices managed through Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) has been resolved. If you experienced this problem, refresh, and re-sync with WSUS to install this update.

A Group Policy had previously been released using Known Issue Rollback (KIR) to work around this issue. If you installed the special Group Policy, you could find it in Group Policy Management Editor under: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 KB5063878 250814_00551 Known Issue Rollback

Organizations no longer need to install and configure this Group Policy to address this issue.

3 Network Device Interface streaming performance issue

Symptoms

After installing the August 2025 Windows security update (KB5063878), you might experience delays or uneven audio and video performance when using Network Device Interface (NDI) to stream or transfer feeds between PCs.

This issue affects streaming apps such as OBS Studio (Open Broadcaster Software) and NDI Tools, especially when Display Capture is enabled on the source PC. The problem can even occur under low-bandwidth conditions.

Workaround

This issue is addressed in KB5065426.

4 Unexpected User Account Control (UAC) prompt when doing MSI repair operations

Symptoms

A security improvement was included in the August 2025 Windows security update and later updates to enforce the requirement that User Account Control (UAC) prompt for administrator credentials when performing Windows Installer (MSI) repair and related operations. This improvement addressed security vulnerability CVE-2025-50173.

After installing the update, standard users might see a User Account Control (UAC) prompt in several scenarios.
  • Running MSI repair commands (such as msiexec /fu).
  • Opening Autodesk apps, including some versions of AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Inventor CAM, or when installing an MSI file after a user signs into the app for the first time.
  • Installing apps that configure per user.
  • Running Windows Installer during Active Setup.
  • Deploying packages through Manager Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) that rely on user-specific "advertising" configurations.
  • Enabling Secure Desktop.
If a non-admin user runs an app that initiates an MSI repair operation without displaying UI, it will fail with an error message. For example, installing and running Office Professional Plus 2010 as a standard user will fail with Error 1730 during the configuration process.

Workaround

This issue is addressed in KB5065426.

How to get this update

Before you install this update

Microsoft combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions.

Install this update

To install this update, use one of the following Windows and Microsoft release channels.

AvailableNext Step
Included
This update downloads and installs automatically from Windows Update and Microsoft Update.
Yes 1Before you install this update

To get the standalone package(s) for this update, go to the Microsoft

Update Catalog
website. This KB contains one or more MSU files that require installation in a specific order.

Install this update

Method 1: Install all MSU files together


Download all MSU files for KB5063878 from Microsoft Update Catalog and place them in the same folder (for example, C:/Packages). Use Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) to install the target update. DISM will use the folder specified in PackagePath to discover and install one or more prerequisite MSU files as needed.

Updating Windows PC

To apply this update to a running Windows PC, run the following command from an elevated Command Prompt:

DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5063878-x64.msu

Or, run the following command from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:

Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5063878-x64.msu"

Or use Windows Update Standalone Installer to install the target update.

Updating Windows Installation media

To apply this update to Windows Installation media, see Update Windows installation media with Dynamic Update.

Note: When downloading other Dynamic Update packages, ensure they match the same month as this KB. If the SafeOS Dynamic Update or Setup Dynamic Update is not available for the same month as this KB, use the most recently published version of each.

To add this update to a mounted image, run the following command from an elevated Command Prompt:

DISM /Image:mountdir /Add-Package /PackagePath:Windows11.0-KB5063878-x64.msu

Or, run the following command from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:

Add-WindowsPackage -Path "c:\offline" -PackagePath "Windows11.0-KB5063878-x64.msu" -PreventPending

Method 2: Install each MSU file individually, in order

Download and install each MSU file individually either using DISM or Windows Update Standalone Installer in the following order:
  1. windows11.0-kb5043080-x64_953449672073f8fb99badb4cc6d5d7849b9c83e8.msu
  2. windows11.0-kb5063878-x64_199ed7806a74fe78e3b0ef4f2073760000f71972.msu
1 This latest cumulative update includes updates for AI components. Even though the AI component updates are included in the update, the AI components are only applicable to Windows Copilot+ PCs and will not install on Windows PC or Windows Server.

If you want to remove the LCU

To remove the LCU after installing the combined SSU and LCU package, use the DISM/Remove-Package command line option with the LCU package name as the argument. You can find the package name by using this command: DISM /online /get-packages.

Running Windows Update Standalone Installer (wusa.exe) with the /uninstall switch on the combined package will not work because the combined package contains the SSU. You cannot remove the SSU from the system after installation.

File information

For a list of the files provided in this update, download the file information for cumulative update 5063878.

For a list of the files provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU (KB5065381) - version 26100.4933.

So who outside of Phison has done the same tests?

Not saying they're lying but...
As stated, I'm just posting for FYI purposes to keep users of this build updated since I know there is a lot of interest in the subject. I've moved on from build 26100.4946 to build 26100.5067 myself.

It makes sense that since it is affecting multiple vendors of SSD controllers that the problem is more likely entirely a Microsoft issue.

I have a 990 PRO for system and 4 870 EVOs for data and have noticed no problems.

After installing the KB5063878 Windows Update, I installed the game Marvel Rivals with a filesize of 84.1 GB via Steam App on a Samsung Portable SSD T9 4TB without any problems. Also my weekly Macrium backup filesize 230 GB was written on the same SSD. No problems at all.

As I have a tiny Samsung SSD on my laptop, I use my HDD to store %localappdata%, temp folders, and backups.
On previous builds I had HDD clicking sound and SSD Speed issues.
In this version both problems solved!!!

It looked like '4946 possibly fixed the CBS issue of the component store not being repairable. Where restorehealth was broken, literally, would fail with reason of source files not being found.

So if MS and AI are to be believed then those on the RP channel (self included) shouldn't need to worry:

Microsoft released build 26100.5067 (KB5064081) on August 21, 2025, which explicitly addresses the SSD failure issues that emerged after the installation of build 26100.4946 (KB5063878). Multiple sources, including Microsoft's own forums, confirm that the update is designed to fix the problem.

I think you may be assuming facts not in evidence. Where did Microsoft actually say that this update addresses the SSD issues?

As I said it's AI so take with a grain of salt. AI is the one implying MS is a source.

Reminds me that my Crucial MX500 500 GB SATA SSD plunged to 93 percent within just some months after it was installed in January, 2020.
Then not even a year later, it plunged to 81 percent, IIRC. Seems to be a known issue with those SSDs.

Do you think the defrag program in Settings->System->Storage is the responsible to SSDs issue ? Because the program working after installing Windows.
