 Microsoft Support:

October 20, 2025 - KB5070773 (OS Builds 26200.6901 and 26100.6901) Out-of-band​

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 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, version24H2 and version 25H2.

Stay informed! Follow @WindowsUpdate for the latest updates from the Windows Release Health Dashboard.

Improvements

This out-of-band (OOB) update includes quality improvements. This update is cumulative and includes security fixes and improvements from the October 14, 2025, security update (KB5066835), in addition to the following:
  • [USB] Fixed: After installing the Windows security update released on October 14, 2025 (KB5066835), USB devices, such as keyboards and mice, do not function in the Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE). This issue prevents navigation of any of the recovery options within WinRE. Note that the USB devices continue to work normally within the Windows operating system.

AI ComponentVersion
Image Search1.2509.1022.0

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5067360)- 26100.6893​

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 Problems playing protected content in some BluRay/DVD/Digital TV apps

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.

2 IIS websites might fail to load

Symptoms
After installing the non-security September update (KB5065789) for Windows 11, version 25H2, or the security October update (KB5066835) for Windows 11, version 24H2, server-side applications that rely on HTTP.sys might experience issues with incoming connections. As a result, Internet Information Services (IIS) websites might fail to load and display an error message such as “Connection reset – error (ERR_CONNECTION_RESET)” or a similar message. This includes websites hosted on http://localhost/ and other IIS connections.

This issue may result from various conditions, including internet connectivity, timing of update installation, and device restarts. It might not occur in all environments, even if the update is installed.

The following steps can help resolve this issue in environments where it's observed:
  1. On the affected device, open Settings and go to Windows Update.
  2. Select Start , type Check for updates, and Check for updates from the results.
  3. If updates are available, install them.
  4. Restart your device.
Note: Make sure to restart your device, even if no updates are installed.

Workaround

This issue is addressed in KB5067036.

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 KB5070773 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-KB5070773-x64.msu

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5070773-x64.msu"

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-KB5070773-x64.msu

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Path "c:\offline" -PackagePath "Windows11.0-KB5070773-x64.msu" -PreventPending

Method 2: Install each MSU file individually in order

Download and install each MSU file individually using DISM or Windows Update Standalone Installer in the following order:
  1. windows11.0-kb5043080-x64_953449672073f8fb99badb4cc6d5d7849b9c83e8.msu
  2. windows11.0-kb5070773-x64_6640d1a7a2a393bd2db6f97b7eb4fe3907806902.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 5070773.

For a list of the files provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU KB5067360 - version 26100.6893.

Open Task Manager -> Details tab -> find and select SearchHost.exe (or SearchApp.exe) -> Click End Task. Does opening Search - look ok now? If not, maybe the Search UI process is corrupt. Might help resting it through PowerShell (started as Admin):

Code:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.Search | Reset-AppxPackage

or

Code:
Get-AppxPackage Microsoft.Windows.Search | Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}

Reboot Win. More aggressive - if it's indeed corrupt, you could reinstall ALL Win Apps - of which search if part of (this usually solves issues related to Windows apps and features). As in...

Code:
Get-AppxPackage -AllUsers| Foreach {Add-AppxPackage -DisableDevelopmentMode -Register "$($_.InstallLocation)\AppXManifest.xml"}
Tried all of them. Still the same problem persists:

Might also be worth trying a reinstall using DISM - in PowerShell (as Admin).

To remove it:

Code:
dism /Online /Remove-Capability /CapabilityName:Search.Basic~~~~0.0.1.0

To install it:

Code:
dism /Online /Add-Capability /CapabilityName:Search.Basic~~~~0.0.1.0

Restart PC.

Btw, is Indexing Turned Off or On? You could try rebuilding it - if it's On. Since you can access it from Legacy Control Panel (Win + R type Control Panel - and use the Search from Up-Right Corner to look for "Indexing Options").

Also, did you try creating a new user account - to see if it works there?

I think the problem is from "Widgets" or "WebView" because after waiting about 1 minute, when widgets and webview load, search behavior turns back to normal

Widgets" or "WebView

It's possible, WebView2 in particular - since that's responsible for rendering web based elements - including results from the web or other dynamic content. You could try removing and reinstalling it: Microsoft Edge WebView2 | Microsoft Edge Developer

Personally, i don't like Windows Search tied to Web Content Searches and such (i use only web browsers for that), so have it disable - and use it for offline - searching for included apps only (windows apps in particular - since it's customized and recently improved for that). Have indexing disabled as well - cause i use Everything - as file search manager (superior to Windows - faster too and less aggressive - compared to Windows files indexing). If disabled - that issue could go away. But this is also a matter of personal taste - maybe you prefer to use Windows search for web content as well.

25H2 is starting to feel like Windows 8.1, LOL! Random Windows Update error code on the other PC.
(On 8.1, I would get a Windows Update error code randomly on a clean install!)

That was before I wiped that SSD again and installed with the latest MCT 25H2 media.
Now, I'm not going past '6899 on the A320/Ryzen 7 3700X/GeForce RTX 3050 build.

I dread getting 0x800f0983 again on that build.

Hi to everyone.
I carefully read all this thread trying to find answers to my problem but I din't succed to.
My problem when I try to install KB5070773 and even the KB5070762 is a bit different: when system reboots to apply the update I receive a "boot_device_inaccessible (error 0x7b)". Then I force system reboot twice and system repair rolls back my Windows 11 to 26200.6584 version and everything run fine.
I ran sfc /scannow, dism with restorehealth with no luck. I also tried to use "resolve problem with Windows updates" but the result is alway the "boot_device_inaccessible". I updates all my drivers, I don't use secure boot. I tried to reset windows update (stopping services and deleting SoftwareDistribution folder), tried to download update from Microsoft catalogue but the result is still the same.

Any help will be highly appreciated.

Thanks a lot,
Michele.

Hello @myksto and welcome to ElevenForum. :-)


Forget about the update for a few. Are you able to Restart the computer normally?


And here's ten points just for filling out your computer specs. We like when folks do that. :-)

Hi and thank you for reply.
The answer is Yes, system tries to apply the update for two times then reverts automatically to the previous version and everything is fine.

Maybe try the offline, stand alone installers...


Choose the 2nd one down x64 (assuming you're not on an ARM processor), for 25H2, and if it will let you, install the KB5043080 first.
Then install the KB5070773 next.

If it doesn't let you install KB5043080, that's OK, just move on to KB5070773.

As I wrote in my first post I already tried to download and install the update from Microft Catalogue and the result is the same.

I must have missed that.
Have you changed any hardware or any BIOS settings, recently?

I updated motherboard firmware actually but I also tried to revert it to the previous version with no luck. VMD is disabled, Secure Boot is disabled.

You updated the BIOS?
If so, that may be the cause. The latest BIOS for my AMD board breaks my Win 11 activation (Local Account).

If you have flashed the BIOS to F31, I would check the BIOS settings. Some may have been changed.
For example... on my ASUS board I need to have CSM... Enabled.

On most motherboards, including ASUS, this isn't the case.


Another thing that can break Windows updates is having unnecessary USB devices attached, when trying to do the update.
Sometimes it's a game controller or a dock, etc. No real rhyme or reason.

Yes, I updated my MB to F31, then I reverted it to F29 and tried to update but the result is alway "boot_drive_inaccessible". I think you need CSM enabled because you don't have setup UEFI boot? I have it and CSM has been disabled for years.

Yes... but F31 made some serious changes. I would enable CSM and try the update again.
CSM is just my guess. It may be some other setting that F31 changed?

F31 description...

  1. Checksum : 333E
  2. Enhance platform security by enable Pre-boot DMA Protection, VT-d, and IOMMU Pre-boot as default
  3. Added CPU support for Intel 120/120F processors
  4. Update CSME version to 16.1.38.2676v4.1
  5. Added support for AI TOP Utility v4.1.1


Unfortunately, I haven't run an Intel processor since around 2004. :(
