Announcements and messages

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

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 is available through two release phases: gradual rollout and normal rollout. A gradual rollout delivers an update in phases, so features reach devices over time instead of all at once, meaning availability varies by device. A normal rollout is the broad release to all eligible devices at the same time, usually when it reaches general availability (GA).

Gradual rollout

The following summary outlines features from AI-powered Windows 11 PC experiences, along with improvements and fixes. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change.

Windows 11 PC experiences​

This section highlights some new features and enhancements for Windows 11 PCs, including AI-powered capabilities, continuous innovation, and performance improvements.
  • [Gaming] New! Xbox mode is now available on Windows 11 PCs, including laptops, desktops, and tablets. Inspired by the Xbox console experience, Xbox mode offers a streamlined, full‑screen interface that puts your games front and center while minimizing background distractions. Xbox mode is designed for those moments when you want to lean back, pick up a controller, and focus on the game. Enter Xbox mode from the Xbox app, Game Bar settings, or by pressing Windows logo key + F11. For more information, see Full screen experience expands to more Windows 11 PC form factors.

  • [File Explorer]
    • New! This update expands the list of archive formats that can be used in File Explorer to include uu, cpio, xar, and NuGet Packages (nupkg).

    • With this update, View and Sort preferences are preserved in folders such as Downloads and Documents when apps launch File Explorer directly to those locations.

    • This update removes a white flash that could appear when opening This PC or while resizing the Details pane in dark mode.
    • This update improves the reliability of relevant explorer.exe processes so they stop after closing File Explorer windows.
  • [Input]
    • New! You can feel haptic feedback effects on compatible input devices when performing certain actions, such as aligning objects in PowerPoint, snapping or resizing windows. These haptic signals can be turned on or off in Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Mouse, Touchpad, or Pen > Haptic signals. This experience is supported on Surface Slim Pen 2, ASUS Pen 3.0, and MSI Pen 2 with haptic feedback. Support for additional compatible devices, including select mice such as Logitech MX Master 4, might become available as hardware partners release updates.

    • New! Voice typing on the touch keyboard now looks simpler and more intuitive. The updated design removes the full‑screen overlay and shows voice typing animations directly on the dictation key, helping you stay focused without extra visual distractions.

    • New! The Arabic 101 Legacy keyboard layout is now available. You can add it when selecting a keyboard for Arabic under Time & Language > Language & Region. This option is for those who prefer the keyboard design used before recent changes with AltGr.

    • This update improves the reliability of setting custom tools under Settings > Bluetooth & Devices > Wheel.
    • This update improves the persistence of Fluid Dictation setting in voice typing.
    • This update improves the reliability of keyboard navigation for emoji panels (Windows logo key + Period).
    • This update improves the reliability of typing when using the ADLaM keyboard.
  • [Sharing] New! Drag Tray is now called Drop Tray. Its settings are now under Settings > System > Multitasking (previously Nearby sharing). Drop Tray uses a smaller peek view. This improvement helps prevent the Drop Tray from opening unintentionally and makes it easier to dismiss when you work near the top of the screen.

  • [Introducing Agents on Taskbar] New! Windows is adding a new way to monitor your agents from the taskbar. This experience supports agents across first- and third-party apps, with Researcher in the Microsoft 365 Copilot app as the first adopter. When Researcher works on a report, Windows shows progress on the taskbar so you can check updates at a glance. Hover over the Microsoft 365 Copilot icon to see real-time progress. When the report is ready, Windows notifies you. Select the notification or the icon to return to the app and review and use the results.

    Developers can learn how to use this API with the Windows.UI.Shell.Tasks API.
  • [Enterprise State Roaming (ESR)] New! ESR can now be managed through Windows Backup for Organizations policies. This makes setup easier for IT administrators. To learn more, see Enterprise State Roaming.
  • [Policy-Based Removal of Preinstalled Microsoft Apps] New! This update adds support for a dynamic app removal list to the “Remove Default Microsoft Store packages” policy for Windows Enterprise and Education. Administrators can remove additional MSIX/APPX-packaged apps by specifying their app package family names using Group Policy. The dynamic list is not currently available in Intune Settings Catalog. Validation must be performed using Group Policy or custom OMA-URI. For more information, see Policy-based in-box app removal.

  • [Printing] New! This update adds a new icon to show where a printer supports Windows Protected Print Mode in print settings.

  • [Windows Driver Policy update] New! This update improves Windows security by changing how the Windows kernel trusts third‑party drivers. Default trust for cross‑signed drivers is removed, while drivers from the Windows Hardware Compatibility Program (WHCP) and an allow list of trusted legacy drivers remain allowed. Windows audits driver compatibility for at least 100 hours and three reboots before enabling enforcement. After enforcement, a small number of cross‑signed drivers might be blocked. For more information, see the Windows driver policy and the Advancing Windows driver security blog.
  • [Enhanced security and performance for batch files] New! Administrators and Application Control for Business policy authors now have additional control over how the system processes batch files and Command Prompt (CMD) scripts. Starting with this release, administrators can enable a more secure processing mode for batch files. This mode prevents batch files from changing during execution.


    To enable this setting, add the following value to the registry:

    Registry Key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Command Processor

    Value name: LockBatchFilesWhenInUse

    Type: DWORD

    Data to be set: 0 (disabled) or 1 (enabled)

    Policy authors can also enable this mode by using the LockBatchFilesWhenInUse application manifest control, as documented in the Application Control for Business manifest schema.
  • [Microsoft Store] This update reduces unexpected errors when downloading and installing apps from the Microsoft Store, including errors 0x80070057, 0x80240008, and 0x80073d28.
  • [Fonts] This update includes improvements to the Leelawadee UI font family for the Thai, Lao, Khmer, and Lontara scripts to enhance glyph sequencing, positioning, and rendering.
  • Audio This update improves third-party driver compatibility with midisrv.exe.
  • [Taskbar] This update improves the reliability of loading the system tray area of the taskbar.
  • [Windows Hello]This update improves:
    • Reliability of Windows Hello Face.
    • Persistence of Windows Hello Fingerprint across upgrades.
  • [Storage]This update improves:
    • Performance when viewing storage information for large volumes in Settings > System > Storage > Advanced Storage Settings > Disks & Volumes.
    • The size limit for formatting FAT32 volumes from the command line from 32GB to 2TB.
  • [Delivery Optimization] This update improves memory usage, reducing likelihood it will use an unexpectedly large amount of memory.
  • [Display and graphics] This update improves persistence and availability of color profile options for supported monitors.
  • [Kiosk mode] This update simplifies configuration for allowed packaged apps in kiosks when Microsoft Edge is one of the allowed apps.
  • [General Performance] This update improves the performance of launching startup apps after starting your device (apps listed under Settings > Apps > Startup).
  • [General Reliability] This update brings underlying changes to help improve explorer.exe reliability, including at sign‑in, when interacting with taskbar menus and Task View, when unpinning items from File Explorer’s Quick Access, and more.
Normal rollout

This non-security update includes quality improvements. The following summary outlines key issues addressed by the KB update after you install it. Also, included are available new features. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change.
  • [Secure Boot] With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout. For more information, see Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration and CA updates.
  • [Authentication (Kerberos)] This update improves Kerberos authentication in Remote Desktop sessions using Remote Credential Guard addressing error 0xc000009a.
  • [Remote Desktop (known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects the Remote Desktop Connection security warning dialog. The dialog could render incorrectly in multi-monitor scenario when the monitors had different scaling set. This might occur after installing the April 2026 (KB5083769) security update. For more information, see Understanding security warnings when opening Remote Desktop (RDP) files.
  • [Windows Security] This update improves event logging related to CVE‑2024‑30098 by including the name of the affected application. This change makes it easier to identify applications that rely on smart card certificates and may need updates following recent security changes.
If you installed earlier updates, your device downloads and installs only the new updates contained in this package.

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5088467)- 26100.8247

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

Symptom

Some devices with an unrecommended BitLocker Group Policy configuration might be required to enter their BitLocker recovery key on the first restart after installing this update.

This issue only affects a limited number of systems in which ALL of the following conditions are true. These conditions are unlikely to be found on personal devices not managed by IT departments.
  1. BitLocker is enabled on the OS drive.
  2. The Group Policy "Configure TPM platform validation profile for native UEFI firmware configurations" is configured, and PCR7 is included in the validation profile (or the equivalent registry key is set manually).
  3. System Information (msinfo32.exe) reports Secure Boot State PCR7 Binding as "Not Possible".
  4. The Windows UEFI CA 2023 certificate is present in the device’s Secure Boot Signature Database (DB), making the device eligible for the 2023‑signed Windows Boot Manager to be made the default.
  5. The device is not already running the 2023-signed Windows Boot Manager.
In this scenario, the BitLocker recovery key only needs to be entered once -- subsequent restarts will not trigger a BitLocker recovery screen, as long as the group policy configuration remains unchanged. For help finding your BitLocker recovery key, see the article, Find your BitLocker recovery key.

Enterprises are recommended to audit their BitLocker group policies for explicit PCR7 inclusion and check msinfo32.exe for their PCR7 binding status before installing this update. (See the Workaround below.)

Workaround

Remove the Group Policy configuration before installing the update (Recommended)

  1. Open Group Policy Editor (gpedit.msc) or your Group Policy Management Console.
  2. Navigate to: Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > BitLocker Drive Encryption > Operating System Drives.
  3. Set "Configure TPM platform validation profile for native UEFI firmware configurations" to "Not Configured".
  4. Run the following command on affected devices to propagate the policy change: gpupdate /force
  5. Run the following command to suspend BitLocker (where BitLocker is enabled on the C: drive): manage-bde -protectors -disable C:
  6. Run the following command to resume BitLocker (where BitLocker is enabled on the C: drive): manage-bde -protectors -enable C:
  7. This updates the BitLocker bindings to use the Windows-selected default PCR profile.
A permanent resolution for this issue is planned in a future Windows update. More information will be provided when it is 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.

Install this update

To install this update, use one of the following Windows and Microsoft release channels.

Available​
Next Step​
Included

Check for optional updates
Included
To install this release from the Microsoft Update Catalog, select the option that matches your device architecture (arm64 or x64), and then follow the instructions.

If you want to remove this update

Caution: Before you decide to remove this update, see Understanding the risks: Why you should not uninstall security updates.

To remove this update 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.

Thanks for the heads-up.

My three Windows installations picked up the patch thru WU and installed it. No issues so far.

SFC came clean.

Still has the text spacing issue
Apparently you have some additional options which present not always (compare to my options, the same as suatcini54 shown).
They should dynamically change the height of UI, but apparently this was not done correctly or not tested.

This updates breaks some VSS and BITS, especially some third party back up apps.
I use Paragon and Macrium and both no longer work properly.

If you change your Windows Language to English (United States) the spacing is correct.

I use Macrium Reflect X.
I made an image after the 26200.8328 update.
The image completed with no issues.

The image completed with no issues.
My back ups are all scheduled, they all start correctly, but never finish. As I stated, it does not affect all systems.

I went back to one of my images from before this update, which runs my back ups fine, and I am staying put until I can be sure the problem is fixed by MS.

It's an optional preview update of the May 14th MS Tuesday update.
But after you click "download and install"... it's no longer optional. :-)
