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.

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.

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.

Seen this on 2 machines with Intel graphics driver 32.0.101.7084 when it asked for the 1st restart after the update was done.
Exception 0xe0434352

View attachment 162873
My HP Laptop does not like any of last few years Intel Graphics Drivers at all, as they just randomly freeze the whole thing completely up, and only on idle. I still have the 2023 version 31.0.101.4502 which runs flawless. I'm not going to update this driver anymore, because when it freezes up, only a hard reboot gets me back in business.

That's exactly what happened with the majority of the summer, 2025 updates. There would also be hundreds of files reported to be missing by CBS.
This made me wonder if Windows auto disk cleanup was causing the issue.

This is the 1st time I saw any problem with this Intel Graphics Software and driver 32.0.101.7084 which was updated several weeks ago from 32.0.101.7082. Never had any issues on 4 different machines till this latest windows update that showed that exception on 1st restart.
After windows was up and updated, I don't see any issues at all with this. 🤞🤷‍♂️

I did also have my initial update fail to download. I have Bitdefender on deny By default for the firewall and it denied the wuaucltcore in uus/preview and the update failed before I could let the rule through.

Rechecked dism after reboot and everything looks good now. (y)

    …still on a horse.
These errors: Netwtw10 warning event ID 6062 in the event viewer, seems to be more driver related than Windows. Been getting these for years.
Updated this afternoon. SFC and DISM found no errors. Still getting TPM-WMI error event ID 1796 and Netwtw10 warning event ID 6062 in the event viewer. Like anything else; only time will tell it this was a clean update. :cool:

I don't have this issue on my system.
DISM and SFC no issues after updates.
You think you don't have the flashing because you don't know how to reproduce it. 😎

As for DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /SCANHEALTH looks like they reversed the situation, it runs clean on insider R.P. but finds repairable in public build with the same update to 26200.7840. 😂😂
Previous update was the other way around. 😖🤷‍♂️

I am using Dark Mode, in Explorer I used the Keyboard and Mouse to add new tabs and I did not see the flashing.

That proves my point. It depends on the setting you are using. 😂😂
I can reproduce the problems with white flash or black flash on all my 5 different machines.

My HP Laptop does not like any of last few years Intel Graphics Drivers at all, as they just randomly freeze the whole thing completely up, and only on idle. I still have the 2023 version 31.0.101.4502 which runs flawless. I'm not going to update this driver anymore, because when it freezes up, only a hard reboot gets me back in business.

Never update a graphic driver that works. Hardware drivers should be updated only if what you have doesn't run as expected.

Interestingly was greeted by this on my first attempt to get the update done overnight despite fully downloading everything...

The idea is to test the new stuff and report the problems so they can fix them before they reach the general public users. 😂😎🤷‍♂️
