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.

  • 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.

    • 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.

How to get this update​

Before you install this update

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.

Actually, it's not hard. Click where it says View: Category & change it to View: List. Presto, there's the list of all apps in alphabetical order. It's a bit clumsy to have them all right there in the top level instead of initially not shown. But at least it's there. My pins occupy enough space that the complete alphabetical list is off screen below the pins, so it's more or less unobtrusive. Still, the old way seemed a bit more convenient. OK. I'm done griping. I think I can live with this.

And since I'm experimenting, I think View: Grid might even be a bit nicer. It's more compact & shows essentially the same thing as View: List in less space. It takes a bit of getting used to but you can navigate the whole thing from the keyboard, no mouse needed. You just need to get used to when you have to Tab & when you can use Arrow keys.

Hello again! After the latest May windows updates 05-2026 and the optional Microsoft Corporation AudioProcessingObject Driver Update (10.0.26100.6710) received via windows updates of course, I started having very very often the classic error bug (to my PC desktop, WIN 1125H2 AMD RYZEN 5800X, ASUS ROG STRIX X570F GAMING AND NVIDIA GEFORCE RTX3080, fully updated of course including BIOS):
Faulting application name: NahimicSvc32.exe, version: 2.7.6.0, time stamp: 0x62c7ea47 (this means that the sonic studio3 doesn't open at every PC's restart). There was also an update regarding Armoury Crate UWP App 6.5.7.1 but I do not thing that AC is the culprit..
I am pretty sure that Microsoft is the only one to blame for, because of its latest updates..
The other problem that I have already mentioned is the dism restore health command which ends up at 100% but failing "the repair content couldn't be found anywhere" (yes I know that may users face it and I believe that the best option is to wait for the next updates to fix it because I am seeing the same error for the first time after a long ago format to both of my machines I own: dell alienware laptop ac16250 and the aforementioned desktop PC as well).
Any ideas? Maybe to wait, right? I prefer, for the time being, not to use the reset PC or fix with windows update options...

That shows the bottom part of my pins & the top part of the All list. That looks like the space is being used reasonably efficiently. There was a lot of wasted space in the Start Menu before. But this looks acceptable now, wouldn't you say?

@Brink Interesting. That made me look at my system.

#01.webp#02.webp

This was just how my Windows 11 install (over 2 years ago) built the drive. Am I just the beneficiary of dumb luck? Or did I do something right by accident? I think it might be helpful to tell people how to make sure they don't fall into the trap of a too small EFI partition from the outset. I don't recall being prompted about this partition. It just happened. Why did it happen just right for me & apparently not right for our friends here who are having trouble with this update?

@dbartenstein On my system, I found Reliability History by typing that string into the search field at the top of the Start Menu. It opened the old Control Panel at Control Panel -> System and Security -> Security and Maintenance -> Reliability History. It looks to me like if you want that on your Start Menu, you have to drag it there. Actually, that's a rather misinformed statement. I've drilled down through the old Control Panel & found where the button is for this Reliability History. It can't be dragged. Maybe there's some magic Power Shell command that you could put in a script, save that, create a shortcut to it, & pin that to your Start Menu. But I don't know what the magic command would be. There's a tutorial somewhere in here that lists a bunch of such Power Shell commands for a whole host of useful system functions. You would do well to search for that tutorial. It's from Brink. Of course. Who else?

As for Windows Tools . . .

That's with View: Grid as I show in an image in a post upthread here. Is that not the thing you're looking for?

@Brink Your second tutorial, the one about Reliability History, shows how to open Control Panel & navigate to the Reliability History, which I already kind of summarized in a post upthread. That's not the same as opening the Start Menu & finding an icon there for the Reliability History.

@Brink Your second tutorial, the one about Reliability History, shows how to open Control Panel & navigate to the Reliability History, which I already kind of summarized in a post upthread. That's not the same as opening the Start Menu & finding an icon there for the Reliability History.

I suppose you could always add any missing shortcuts back to the Start Menu.

Yes @gunrunnerjohn your image duplicates one I posted upthread. But you're not showing how to put an icon for the Reliability History on the Start Menu.

@Brink That's all well & good. But the Reliability History is just a clickable button in the old fashioned Control Panel. I clicked mouse button 2 on it & no context menu popped up. I tried dragging it & it wouldn't drag. So the question still remains: How do you put an icon for that in the Start Menu? I don't think it really matters whether you add it to your personal pins or you add it to the All section. How do you add it anywhere?

By the way, it's rather hard to find Control Panel. You have to do a search before you can open it. I know Control Panel is meant to be deprecated. But until all the functions in there have ultimately been migrated to the new Settings dialog, it really ought to be easier to open it. A direct icon in the Start Menu would be nice. Once all the work has been done, they can quietly remove that icon. But until then, they really ought to be providing an icon for it to make it simpler to run.

I'm looking at Complete List of Rundll32 Commands in Windows 11. I don't see an entry there for the Reliability History. I'm concluding that it's not possible to put an icon on the Start Menu for that, nor to do any sort of process automation for opening that display.
