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.

Change log​

Change date​
Change description​
May 29, 2026
  • Update: Installation & updates (Known issue) added (normal rollout).
  • Known issue update: The documentation no longer lists the known issue “May 2026 security update fails to install with error 0x800f0922” because this update (KB5089573) addresses the issue.
May 28, 2026Update: Personalization added (gradual rollout).

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.

  • [General Performance] This update accelerates app launch and core shell experiences such as Start menu, Search, and Action Center.
  • [Personalization] This update improves:
    • Color selection accuracy when adjusting your accent color to match your wallpaper when the automatic accent color selection is enabled in Personalization settings.
    • Wallpaper persistence reliability across restarts and upgrades, including better support for large‑resolution wallpapers and other scenarios to prevent solid color wallpaper fallback.

    • This update optimizes the Windows Biometric service (WinBio) to help improve performance when your device resumes from Modern Standby.
    • This update reduces unexpected authentication blocks in Windows Hello Enhanced Sign‑in Security by resolving missing secure enrollment metadata.
    • This update improves sign‑in behavior on the lock screen and sign‑in screen. When Windows Hello face or fingerprint is set up and available, it is now the default sign-in method every time you sign in, even if you used a different method previously. If you need to use your Windows PIN instead and use it three times in a row, Windows will stay with PIN until you switch to another sign-in method.
  • [Windows Search Box] Windows Search will now find and prioritize files with as few as two characters.
  • [Storage]
    • The dialog box for creating a Dev Drive now supports specifying the size in gigabytes (GB) instead of only megabytes (MB). This option is also available when resizing volumes in Settings > System > Storage.
    • In Settings > System > Storage, you now see a User Account Control (UAC) prompt only when you choose to view temporary files, instead of immediately when opening the page.
  • [USB]
    • This update improves reliability for displays attached to USB4 docks and hubs. These displays now light up more consistently, particularly when coming out of standby.
    • The USB3 stack is updated to have additional resiliency and recovery measures in place against certain unexpected hardware faults and conditions. Users will experience higher reliability with USB devices.
  • [Sensors] This update improves resiliency against apps that could keep the sensor hub powered on and drain power, impacting battery life.
  • [Human Interface Device (HID)] This update improves battery life related to the HID and Input stack for failed HID devices. Power hygiene is also improved against applications that might initiate HID transfers during standby.
  • [Input]The update improves:
    • Reliability of the touch keyboard on the sign‑in screen, including when entering or changing a password.
    • Reliability of explorer.exe when closing the input switcher.
    • Performance when opening or navigating to clipboard history.
  • [Fonts] The Times New Roman font family is updated to improve the rendering of combining diacritical marks across Greek and Cyrillic scripts. This update provides more accurate and visually consistent text by addressing mark positioning issues. These changes improve readability, reduce rendering inconsistencies, and better support for global language users working with Greek and Cyrillic content.
  • [Task Scheduler] Task Scheduler now saves column width adjustments in task list view across sessions.
  • [Desktop icons] This update improves reliability of loading desktop app shortcuts.
  • [Microsoft Store]
    • This update includes underlying changes that improve download performance and bandwidth usage.
    • This update improves error reporting when downloads fail due to Windows Update group policy settings being enabled.
  • [Reliability] This update improves Windows reliability on the sign-in and lock screens, in File Explorer, when using touch gestures on touchscreen devices, and when changing themes in Settings.
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.
    • This update adds the LimitSecureBootRequiredServiceData Group Policy and mobile device management (MDM) setting under Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > Windows Components > Secure Boot. When enabled, Windows limits the Secure Boot service data it sends by suppressing the event normally sent to Microsoft. This policy is included in the Windows Restricted Traffic Limited Functionality Baseline. For information about the policy, see Manage connections from Windows 10 and Windows 11 operating system components to Microsoft services.
  • [Installation & updates (Known issue)] Fixed This update addresses an issue where some devices might fail to complete installation with error code 0x800f0922. This can happen when the EFI System Partition (ESP) has limited free space, especially when 10 MB or less is available. This might occur after installing the May 2026 security update KB5089549.
If you installed earlier updates, your device downloads and installs only the new updates contained in this package.

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.

I will update it today. For me, non-security updates like this are always released after midnight, when I'm asleep :D.

Has anyone noticed that these fixed issues have disappeared?
Fixed an issue resulting in the audio volume being unexpectedly muted on certain devices,
Fixed a Windows Push Notification service (WPN) hang, which could lead to some apps not launching and notifications not working.

I've noticed 2 differences. When doing a System/Storage/Temporary File clean up I don't get the button to clean up system files anymore. It appeared last update and had to provide admin rights to clear. It's back to how it used to be now.

Also, file transfers and scans seem a lot faster. Doing a Macrium backup, it says it is transferring at 9.9 Gb/s most of the duration of the backup ( apart from the very end when it went down to 7.6).

My PC seems a lot more sprightly.

The new low latency profile seems to have a big impact on older systems, especially low-power U series Intel 8th to 10th gen mobile CPUs. After enabling it with vivetool /enable /id:60716524,61391826 on three laptops, the system responsiveness was immediately noticeable, particularly in Edge. None of the machines had Edge Startup Boost enabled, yet after a reboot, Edge opened almost instantly with 10-15 tabs loaded. File Explorer navigation and context menus also feel much snappier. Overall, a pretty nice update.

Edit: The launch of third-party apps on these machines is massively improved, wow.

I was about to come in here fuming about Microsoft destroying my Start Menu. But then I clicked Show All & poof, there's my old Start Menu. All the new junk is actually scrolled out of sight so I guess I can tolerate it.

Thanks to somebody upthread suggesting dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth. Unlike others posting here, mine ran in about a minute & came back with:

The component store is repairable.
The operation completed successfully.

Looks clean to me. I then ran sfc /scannow, something I haven't run in maybe 2 years. It said it cleaned up some things. My CBS.log showed this:

I went to Google AI & it told me these are all Bluetooth & USB drivers for features I don't use, so I have not even rebooted since I did this. I know you're supposed run sfc then reboot 3 times with sfc not repairing anything before you can feel safe. But since these are of no importance to me, I just ran sfc again without rebooting. It says I'm clean now. Whatever repair it did that should require a reboot can wait until I feel like rebooting again, which is likely to be next time Microsoft pushes out another Tuesday update.

As for the update itself, I was coming from 8457. My install rebooted just twice. The whole process took about as long as these things usually take, which is only a few minutes. The longest part of my reboot is the POST. I have 128G of RAM & a POST takes a bit of time. (Yes, I know I could disable that in the BIOS. I don't want to. I've had an experience with bad RAM within the past year or so, documented in this forum, & I'm perfectly happy to let my RAM get POSTed.)

Whoever said any improvements would be incremental seems to be right. I don't notice any improvements. Nor degradations, thank goodness.

I just wish Microsoft would learn that messing with personalizations is a SIN & they should STOP DOING THAT. It's so paternalistic. I want what I WANT, NOT what they want. Quit trying to shove cloud storage, the Microsoft store, games, whatever on me. I'll go there when I WANT. Otherwise, LEAVE ME ALONE!!!!

I still get it on some machines, but not all. Same Build 26200.8524.
I wonder why the different behavior? 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️
Typical MS inconsistent CFRs. 🤬 They should not do this on public builds. We have enough of these experiments in the insider builds.

@fg2001gf11F I don't have the button either. Maybe the category System Files doesn't always include any files, so the button is there only when there are such files to delete. Just guessing.

Probably because it is a gradual rollout. I don't have it yet either. I haven't checked the other PC's

OK. But I have NPU/Isolation columns in Task manager and it also gradual rollout.

Here two new features that not exist in RP version :
  • [Windows Setup] New! You can now choose a custom name for your user folder on the Device Name page during Windows setup. The updated experience makes it easier to select a custom name during setup only. If this step is skipped, Windows uses the default folder name and continues setup as usual. User folder names must follow standard Windows naming requirements.
  • [Windows Search Box] Windows Search will now find and prioritize files with as few as two characters.

I don't believe all future rollouts listed would arrive at the same time, different departments (I'm guessing) or at least, obviously different projects. So unless all projects have the same release/rollout date (obviously hasn't), I'm guessing patience is needed.

Whole update process took more than one hour, mostly because of slow download (often below 1Mb/s). Installed in a few mins with 2 restarts, as usual. No DISM errors or other problems are noticed yet.

@xomuz I wrote myself some notes a couple of years ago claiming to have found this information here on this web site. But for the life of me, despite having the date I did this, I can't find my source material here on Eleven Forum. So here's my notes & I hope they help.

There is something called a Component Store. The sfc command repairs things by getting stuff from the Component Store. You check the health of the Component Store with this command:

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

This requires a working Internet connection. If this returns a bad result, then you have to take evasive maneuvers. When I was getting ready to install W11, I had a working W7 system (that was old in both software & hardware). I used it to download the W11 ISO. Downloading an ISO is a service offered somewhere on the Microsoft web site. You should be able to get Google to help you find it. On my system, I have it in "N:\Windows 11 ISO". I performed some sort of magic on it (instructions are on the Microsoft web site) in W7 to create a USB SSD that I used as my W11 install media on my new system. The N-drive was attached to my W7 system & now it's attached to my W11 system, so I still have this stuff. You need the ISO to find some information for the following steps.

dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:"N:\Windows 11 ISO\Win11_23H2_English_x64\sources\install.wim"

This lists a bunch of versions of W11: W11 Home, W11 Pro, W11 Education, & others. Microsoft creates ISOs that include various versions of W11 & your activation key automatically selects which one you're authorized to install. The list generated by this command attaches an index number to each version of W11. In my particular case, index number 6 is for W11 Pro, which is what I've installed. This number 6 is used in subsequent commands. For example:

dism /get-wiminfo /wimfile:"N:\Windows 11 ISO\Win11_23H2_English_x64\sources\install.wim" /index:6

This generates interesting information about my W11 Pro installation media. That's not really germane to solving any problems, just an interesting side light.

Once you have the index number for your version of W11 -- it might be 6, it might be something else, read your output from the command above -- you execute this command.

Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth /Source:wim:"N:\Windows 11 ISO\Win11_23H2_English_x64\sources\install.wim":6 /limitaccess

This repairs the Component Store. Once the Component Store is repaired, sfc should be able to run successfully & repair whatever damaged files you have on your system. This all worked for me 2 years ago when I did this. Clearly, my ISO was of W11 23H2. Thanks to Windows Update, I am now on 25H2. If I tried these commands today, dism would reject the attempt. If you go to the Microsoft web site & get a current ISO, you wouldn't have to worry about this. In fact, that's what you should do (and what I would have to to do if I were actually trying to repair my 25H2 Component Store today). You might not put the ISO on your N-drive. Your ISO might have a name other than "Win11_23H2_English_x64". So you can't just copy/paste my commands & run them. You have to copy/paste my commands & modify them to match your environment. Then you can run them.

I hope this helps.
