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.


Microsoft Store apps updates​

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 a consumer user, see Get updates for apps and games in Microsoft Store.


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.

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.

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.

  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

I got True long before that topic ever existed. I had checked back in September and got the True result.
But I didn't get the proper registry results till post #32 in the Secure Boot Update topic.
The strange part is; This was introduced with 26100/26200 25H2 (September 2025) Before that I wasn't aware of this issue until I found an TPM error in Windows logbook. I know something about certificates and it's importance. I have maintained company's websites for a while. They all have SSL certifates to make sure that the https traffic is secure. If it expires users wil get a warning that the site can't be trusted anymore. Every certificate has it's shelf live; they all expire on a certain date. A root certificate shelf live is much larger than the SSL or driver signed certificate. In some cases a SSL certificate is valid for 1 year. Has to be renewed each year.

This also true for some elements that Windows uses. If you look at c:\Windows\System32\drivers you will see many *.sys drivers of which a big number of them are digital signed also; (Properties; they all have a digital signed tab extra) It's certification path is also visible; root certificate -> intermediate certificate -> driver certificate.
1763373831422.webp
It's this PCA 2011 certificate that will expire on October 2026. It must be replaced by a newer one in time otherwise Windows will seize to work properly.
Some info on the subject: Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration and CA updates - Microsoft Support

Even Windows Defender (besides secure boot) relies on that structure. (Core isolation) Some third party companies signed their drivers also. If it's expires than Core Isolation will be turned off. (That is a warning like an expired SSL certificate will give us also a warning) To fix it; MS always says; Go to that third party and get an updated driver..... Yeah. Easy said. If it's a part of software that is really old and thus not supported anymore. So you are left with basically two options; 1-Leave it as it is. 2-Deinstall the software. (A third would be deleting it or renaming it. Tricky... There are registry keys pointing to them...) Had trouble with this issue before; ASUS had an ASUS Suite III were a signed driver with the name AsIO.sys was an issue; It's certificate was to old and could not be trusted anymore according to Microsoft. (ASUS stopped updating that Suite) Core Isolation was because of this fact turned off. MS said the usual thing; Go to that third party... etc. I just deinstalled that Suite; Problem gone. Had the same problem with a Logitech driver for my old G19 keyboard. Bought a new one because the lights of that keyboard was not bright enough anymore. (Thing was 16 years old) Win 10? No issue. Win 11? Yes it was. I know. MS is ramping up their security thing. TPM, CA2023 etc.

Oddly enough I think that this issue should not be an issue at all. It could be easily fixed in some kind of update. For some strange reason they decided not to do so..... Can't still explain why I saw that TPM error. I my search though the internet I saw an advice; Go to the manufacturer of your motherboard and download and apply the lasted BIOS version.... I did. I was already on that latest BIOS version. So that could not be an issue. And I have a descend relative new motherboard and i am doubtful there will be a newer BIOS version. This motherboard is superseded by a newer one. (Z690 chipset -> Z790) AND.. That CA2011 certificate is not yet expired. So why an error then???? I have no clue!.....
Strangely enough that error went away when I did something with that CA2023 certificate thing.

PS C:\WINDOWS\system32> [System.Text.Encoding]::ASCII.GetString((Get-SecureBootUEFI db).bytes) -match "Windows UEFI CA 2023"
True
(In an other thread on this subject; reboot your system twice... In my case one reboot and just waiting was already enough. It went automatically from false to true. It looks like there was an interval like looking at a site on the internet. Checking.... If OK then set this flag on True.)

I think this al could be prevented if MS had brought an update for it. I am still clueless about that TPM error. It should not occur. But it did...... I think that MS is sloppy. Since the introduction of 25H2; many issues.... WinRE, Taskmanager, CA2023... What do they have more in store for us all..... :mad:

They are pi..ing off customers right now. And with the release of 26H2 next year (Oktober 2026?) I don't see an improvement..... 25H2 even is just 24H2. All packages inside the Component Store are still 26100.xxxx Hell MS also admits it; Saw a ARM screenshot of 26H1 "Is your previous system 24H2/25H2? "

Have you tried this yet?

Go into Settings - System - System Components - Windows Security, then click the three dots and click Advance Options, then scroll down and click "repair". If that does not work, try "reset". You may need to wait a few days in between repair and reset to see if that worked.
Looks like running a Reset on Windows Security resolved the issue. Thank you for the suggestion.

Microsoft Media Creation Tool now downloads the latest build - 26200.7171

Does anybody know if "oobe\bypassnro" still works with these later builds?
I thought I read somewhere that MS were removing that script or was that just a rumour?

They did, back in March, but only for an Insider build. Insiders are supposed to use their Insider-registered MS account, so I suppose it made sense for an Insider build.

It's still there in the latest 25H2 install media for 26200.7171 made by the MCT.

Microsoft said:

We’re removing the bypassnro.cmd script from the build to enhance security and user experience of Windows 11. This change ensures that all users exit setup with internet connectivity and a Microsoft Account.

I ended up having to disable HAGS after this update. I'm thinking it's something with Nvidia's game ready driver version 581.80 and this specific update.

It kept giving me weird issues with the file explorer address bar lagging when typing, and nothing else in the explorer window was lagging. The only reason I guessed it was something with HAGS is because it stopped when I would start up a game or something that was demanding on the gpu. After disabling HAGS I've had no issues.

Going to try and enable it again when the next driver update comes out.

We have updated the widgets experience for your lock screen, replacing what was previously referred to as “Weather and more.” You can add, remove and rearrange lock screen widgets such as Weather, Watchlist, Sports and more.
