UPDATE 9/29:

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.

Symptoms
We are aware of an edge case affecting hotpatched devices that have installed the September 2025 Hotpatch update (KB5065474) or the September 2025 security update (KB5065426). These devices might experience failures with PowerShell Direct (PSDirect) connections when the host and guest virtual machines (VMs) are both not fully updated.
When a patched guest VM attempts to connect to an unpatched host (or vice versa), the system is expected to fall back to a legacy handshake and clean up the socket gracefully. However, this fallback mechanism fails intermittently, resulting in socket cleanup issues. The connection failure might appear random, and users might observe Event ID 4625 logged in the Security Event log within Windows Event Viewer.
Workaround:
This issue is addressed in KB5066360. If your hotpatched device is experiencing issues with PSDirect connection, we recommend updating both the host and guest VM with these updates.
Symptoms
After installing this Windows update released on or after September 9, 2025, you might fail to connect to shared files and folders using the Server Message Block (SMB) v1 protocol on NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT). This issue can occur if either the SMB client or the SMB server has the September 2025 security update installed.
Note: The SMBv1 protocol is deprecated and no longer installed by default in modern versions of Windows and Windows Server. Deployments that use newer versions of the protocol, SMBv2 or SMBv3, are not affected by this problem.
Workaround
This issue is addressed in KB5065789.
Symptoms
Some Digital TV and Blu-ray/DVD apps might not play protected content as expected after installing the August 29, 2025, Windows non-security preview update (KB5064081), or later updates.
Apps that use Enhanced Video Renderer with HDCP enforcement or Digital Rights Management (DRM) for digital audio might show copyright protection errors, frequent playback interruptions, unexpected stops, or black screens.
Streaming services are not affected.
Workaround
The non-security September 2025 Windows preview update (KB5065789) and later updates address problems affecting certain applications that use the Enhanced Video Renderer (EVR) with HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) enforcement. The non-security October Windows preview update (KB5067036) includes additional improvements to address problems affecting applications using Digital Rights Media (DRM) for digital audio.
Symptoms
After installing the August 2025 non-security preview update (KB5064081) or later updates, you might notice that the password icon is not visible in the sign-in options on the lock screen. If you hover over the space where the icon should appear, you’ll see that the password button is still available. Select this placeholder to open the password text box and enter your password. After entering your password, you can sign in normally.
Workaround
Microsoft is working to resolve this issue and will provide information when it’s available.
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.
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.

|---|---|
| September 24, 2025 | Update: The fix is included in the September 2025 Security Update (KB5065426). [Kernel] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that could cause an unexpected system state on some platforms due to an incorrect interrupt state. |
Highlights
- This update addresses security issues for your Windows operating system.
Improvements
This security update contains fixes and quality improvements from KB5064081 (released August 29, 2025). The following summary outlines key issues addressed by this update. Also, included are available new features. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change.- [App compatibility (known issue)] Fixed: Addresses an issue that caused non-admin users to receive unexpected User Account Control (UAC) prompts when MSI installers perform certain custom actions. These actions might include configuration or repair operations in the foreground or background, during the initial installation of an application.
This issue could prevent non-admin users from running apps that perform MSI repairs, including Office Professional Plus 2010 and multiple applications from Autodesk (including AutoCAD). This fix reduces the scope for requiring UAC prompts for MSI repairs and enables IT admins to disable UAC prompts for specific apps by adding them to an allowlist.
For more information, see Unexpected UAC prompts when running MSI repair operations after installing the August 2025 Windows security update. - [File server] This update enabled auditing SMB client compatibility for SMB Server signing as well as SMB Server EPA. This allows customers to assess their environment and identify any potential device or software incompatibility issues before deploying the hardening measures that are already supported by SMB Server. For detailed guidance, see CVE-2025-55234.
- [Input]
- Fixed: This update addresses an issue that caused certain apps to stop responding input in some input method scenarios.
- Fixed: This update addresses an issue that caused some Internet Information Services (IIS) modules to disappear from IIS Manager, preventing users from configuring IIS using the IIS Manager interface.
- [Kernel] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that could cause an unexpected system state on some platforms due to an incorrect interrupt state.
- [Networking (known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects audio in apps using the Network Device Interface (NDI). Audio stutters when Display Capture is on in OBS Studio Application. This can occur after installing KB5063878.
For more information about security vulnerabilities, see the Security Update Guide website and the September 2025 Security Updates.
