To view the latest updates about this release, visit the Windows release health dashboard or the update history page for Windows 11, version 25H2 and 24H2.

Announcements and messages​

This section provides key notifications related to this release, including announcements, change logs, and end-of-support notices.

Simplified Windows update titles​

A new, standardized title format makes Windows updates easier to read and understand. It improves clarity by removing unnecessary technical elements like platform architecture. Key identifiers such as date prefixes, the KB number, and build or version are retained to help you quickly recognize each update.

For more details, see Simplified Windows Update titles or its accompanying blog post.

December servicing update schedule​

Due to reduced operations during the Western holidays in December and New Year's Day, Microsoft will not release a non-security preview update in December 2025. The monthly security update will still be available as scheduled. Regular monthly servicing, including both security updates and non-security preview updates, will resume in January 2026.

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.

Highlights​

  • This update addresses security issues for your Windows operating system.

Improvements​

This security update contains fixes and quality improvements from KB5067036 (released October 28, 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.
  • [Gaming]
    • Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects gaming handheld devices. These devices were unable to stay in low-power states, which caused faster battery drain.
    • Fixed: This update addresses an issue on some handheld gaming devices where after signing in using the built-in Gamepad, the controller might not respond in apps for about five seconds, causing a delay. After you submit your password or PIN, the touch keyboard on the sign-in screen hides automatically.
  • [Storage] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that could cause some Storage Spaces to become inaccessible or Storage Spaces Direct to fail when creating a storage cluster.
  • [System utilities (known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where closing Task Manager with the Close button didn’t fully end the process, leaving background instances that could slow performance over time. This might occur after installing KB5067036.
  • [Voice Access] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where Voice Access failed during initial setup if no microphone was connected and the voice model wasn’t installed.
  • [Window management] Fixed: This update addresses an issue where selecting the desktop could unexpectedly open Task View.
  • [Networking] Fixed: This update fixes an issue in the HTTP.sys request parser, a Windows component that reads and processes HTTP requests. The parser allowed a single line break within HTTP/1.1 chunk extensions, where the RFC 9112 standard requires a carriage return and line feed (CRLF) sequence to terminate each chunk. This can cause a parsing discrepancy when front end proxies are a part of the setup.

    To turn off strict parsing, use the following registry key:

    Registry Key: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\Http\Parameters]
    Registry value: "HttpAllowLenientChunkExtParsing"=dword:00000001
    Data to be set: 1
If you've already installed previous updates, your device will download and install only the new updates included in this package.

For more information about security vulnerabilities, see the Security Update Guide website and the November 2025 Security Updates.

AI Components​

This release updates the following AI components:

AI ComponentVersion
Image Search1.2510.1159.0
Content Extraction1.2510.1159.0
Semantic Analysis1.2510.1159.0
Settings Model1.2510.1159.0

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5067035)- 26100.7010​

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 Password icon might be missing or invisible in the lock screen sign-in options

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.

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 KB5068861 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-KB5068861-x64.msu

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5068861-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-KB5068861-x64.msu

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Path "c:\offline" -PackagePath "Windows11.0-KB5068861-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-kb5068861-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 5068861.

For a list of the files provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU (KB5067035) - version 26100.7010.

Cool, spent 20+ minuted packing a 26200.7171.iso using UUP dump as source. 🫠

At least - that comes with the option to do a component clean-up and a clean integration of .NetFramework 3.5 (should be deprecated by now - but it's still a core component of Windows Updates ecosystem, and.... due to its layered legacy design and tight integration with Windows components - it's really had to diagnose if corrupted - and failing a specific Windows update as a result /also, .NET Framework Repair Tool - is coin flip - like most automated troubleshooting tools developed by Microsoft).

No. After running MCT and before start downloading, Go to “C:\$Windows.~WS\” and find an .xml file containing available versions of Windows; If it is 7171 then you can use MCT to grab the latest ISO. Alternatively, you can download ISO from Microsoft directly which is not the latest version yet!

Typo: 26200.6584. Correct. This is Microsoft official (Dutch) Windows 25H2 release. You can also download the ISO directly. (Same version)
Click to expand...
Then how to download latest version directly , I got a Win11_25H2_Dutch_x64 , 7,06 GB , from MS-site
The version I got from the Media Creation Tool is 5,56 GB................
Which version should I use with RUFUS-USB , if I need a repair ??

MCT uses install.esd and that is a compressed version of install.wim.

Directly downloaded ISOs contain install.wim which is about 7GB.

There seems to be a rights problem on some file(s). Very stubborn error. Had it once, fixed it with dism and sfc; An other error appeared.
You may try to do is an In-Place-Instalment. (with no changes to your personal data)

- During a windows session; start setup.exe on the Windows 25H2 iso.
After that Start updating your system. This time the update will not fail.

I'm noticing something strange with this build and last build. The Windows Security icon near the clock shows a ! mark like something is wrong, however upon actually opening Windows Security, it shows no problems and the icon clears to a green checkmark.

After a certain amount of time, the icon goes back to showing a ! mark.

Anyone else seeing this?

No. Open the Windows security and see which parts failed. (will have a yellow triangle also) Go deeper and see that has been turned off. Turn it on again or solve the situation (depending what has failed) If it's the Core isolation item; (Windows show you which driver is offending; details) probably you system has a driver that Windows don't like. [ to old and there is no modern version of it, mostly they have been signed but the date of it has expired] (Inside c:\windows\system32\drivers or c:\windows\SYsWOW64\drivers.) Find out to what program it belongs to; deinstall it first. If it did not solved it; Try to rename the *.sys file into _*.sys file and search in the registry for this file and delete (save it first to a .reg file first!!!) The tree above it. Deleting may not be necessary but it could cause an error because the driver changed it's name. Reboot and try to turn Core isolation on again. Without the offending driver the mark above it will stay green.

All my user priorities are set to 8 and aren't supposed to be altered from what I read:

Priority 8 is likely one of the immutable or system-controlled priorities that standard user commands cannot alter. The user's interaction is limited to enabling, disabling, or reverting specific feature IDs, and the tool handles the appropriate priority settings internally.

My guess is they are changing something since it disappeared on all three machines at once after months of use.
Click to expand...
Not True; 8 isn't a priority, but a description to what kind of field it belongs;
Found out this:

Registry & Priority found Priority according to Vivetool
0 - ImageDefault 0 - ImageDefault
1 - EKB 1 - EKB
2 - SafeGuard
3 - Unknown 3 - ImageDefaultEditionOverride
4 - Service 4 - Service
5 - 5 (??) 5 - ?\
6 - ? Dynamic
7 - ?/
8 - User 8 - User
9 - Security 9 - Security
10 - ?\
11 - ? \
12 - ? Test
13 - ? /
14 - ?/
15 - ImageOverride 15 - ImageOveride

State: 1 - Disabled, 2 - Enabled
Type: 0 - Override, 1 - Experiment

Each priority type can be fetched by: Vivetool /Query /Priority:<0-15>

EKB probably stands for; Enablement Package KB, a small updatepackage.

@garlin 's MCT_ISO_VERSION.BAT file confirms the build number to be downloaded using Media Creation Tool in advance before it is actually downloaded.

MCT creates a file products.xml that can be checked to see the information about the build number before actually downloading the whole thing.

You have to start the MCT so that the file Products.xml gets created and you can check that before downloading the whole lot.
Then you decide if you want to continue downloading or not. 😎🤷‍♂️
