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.

Change dateChange description
February 24, 2026Update: In the “How to get this update” section, under Catalog, the second MSU file listed in Method 2: Install each MSU file individually has been updated.

Improvements

This security update contains fixes and quality improvements from KB5074109 (released January 13, 2026). KB5077744 (released January 17, 2026), and KB5078127 (released January 24, 2026). 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 determines device eligibility for the full-screen gaming experience.
  • [Networking] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that prevented some devices from connecting to certain WPA3‑Personal Wi‑Fi networks. The issue might occur after you install KB5074105.
  • [Secure Boot] With this update, Windows quality updates include a broad set of targeting data that identifies devices and their ability to receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices will receive the new certificates only after they show sufficient successful update signals, which helps ensures a safe and phased rollout.
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 and the February 2026 Security Updates.

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5077869)- 26100.7839

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

Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update.

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 KB5077181 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-KB5077181-x64.msu

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5077181-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-KB5077181-x64.msu

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Path "c:\offline" -PackagePath "Windows11.0-KB5077181-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-kb5077181-x64_33d38563662e659ceb84fb8b65aa05ce5876f5a4.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 5077181.

For a list of the files provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU (KB5077869) - version 26100.7839.

And yet it showed up on mine just a couple of days ago for the first time...
I remember seeing it like yours, sometimes after a clean install, but it moves to the right after updates and restart when it updates the Windows Web Experience Pack.
I have the same position of the widget's icon on all my 5 different machines with Public or insider builds.
It has been like that for as long as I can remember. 🤷‍♂️
Maybe you can check which version you have on your machine.

Perhaps it was not installed when you had the widget's icon on the left? The position on the right just before the system tray is the normal position with Left alignment taskbar.
Perhaps you may try uninstalling Windows Web Experience Pack using power shell and see what happens.
I don't even find that app on the list of the ones installed, so there is no option to uninstall it directly. 😝😵‍💫🤷‍♂️

That did NOT work. The widget icon is still where it was, but in the start menu all my listed programs are gone now instead.
It's looking now (seen some posts) that you former "Widget" icon weather is gone. (Don't know what widget you meant "next to start" Normaly the only two are search (can be turned on/off) and a link to an 2nd desktop. The rest are pinned icon's.) That means one thing; Did you turn off the widget option inside Settings - Personalize - Taskbar - Widgets? I see an up and down speed widget to the left. Placed there by the OEM. You are using a laptop as I look at the taskbar.

Maybe an other third party software is responsible for not showing a list of program as it normally would do (In both cases; Category function on or off) You might try to repair things by issuing Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth and SFC /scannow. But this will look for damaged system files and repair them. This issue can go deeper (registry) than that. If you want to fix the current situation; Try to revert the changes that third party (if any) made. If the situation remains the same? Do a In-Place-Installment that will leave all your data alone. Only the current Windows engine will be replaced. Switch after that the update option off for 1 week at this moment. Execute the 2 mentioned commands and check if it didn't find any issues. Turn update on and update to 7840 (only, and maybe some security updates.)and remove the Windows.old directory by using cleanmgr.exe.

Below screenshots of my taskbar with Widgets turned on and off. (I tweaked the Weather icon that it only shows the weather. Cut the link to Bing permanently. It also prevents when I search for a program to show external Bing results. It searches on my machine only. )
