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 expire starting in June 2026. Microsoft has been updating these certificates on consumer and non-managed business devices over the past several months. Devices that haven’t received the newer certificates will continue to start and operate normally, and standard Windows updates will continue to install. Updated certificates will continue to be delivered through Windows Update in the coming months. For more information, see Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration and CA updates.

End of updates
Windows 11, version 24H2 Home and Pro editions will reach end of updates on October 13, 2026. Devices running these editions will no longer receive fixes for known issues, time zone updates, technical support, or monthly security and preview updates containing protections from the latest security threats. Enterprise and Education editions remain supported until October 12, 2027.

To stay protected and up to date, we recommend you upgrade to the latest version of Windows 11.

Change log

Change date​
Change description​
July 28, 2026Added a highlight for mobile device management (MDM)

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.

 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​

  • This update includes additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Certificate deployment via Windows updates continues across supported PCs and non-managed business devices in the coming months.

App​

  • This update improves the stability of Office applications used in virtualized environments. Users should experience a more reliable experience when working with and closing Office apps.

File Explorer​

  • This update addresses an issue where files stored on a DFS mapped drive could be incorrectly treated as originating from the Internet after the device started while disconnected from the network and later reconnected. This could cause File Explorer’s Preview Pane to display the message, “The file you are attempting to preview could harm your computer,” or cause files copied from the DFS drive to receive an unexpected Mark of the Web.

Mobile device management (MDM)​

  • This update addresses an issue affecting newly provisioned or newly recovered Windows devices running versions of Windows released on or after July 14, 2026 (KB5101650). After enrollment in a mobile device management (MDM) service such as Microsoft Intune, affected devices could remain in an incorrect noncompliant state and be unable to access corporate resources.

Storage​

  • This update fixes an issue that affects File History automatic backups to network shares using Server Message Block (SMB). Backups did not work because Windows showed a false “invalid credentials” error when connecting to SMB shares.
If you installed earlier updates, your device downloads and installs only the new updates contained in this package.

Components updates​

AI components

This release updates the following AI components to version 1.2607.840.0: Image Search, Content Extraction, Semantic Analysis, and Settings Model.

To learn more, see Release information for AI components.

Servicing stack update (SSU)

Known issues in 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.

Deployment​

If you deploy dynamic updates such as this update to an existing Windows image, ensure the boot.stl file is included as part of the installation media. Failure to include the file might prevent devices from successfully starting from the installation media and can result in error code 0xc0430001.

Note
The boot.stl file is used during Secure Boot validation and must match the Windows version and architecture of the image you are updating.

To ensure the boot.stl file is included as part of the installation media, do one of the following:
  • Use the Update WinPE script to update an existing Windows image. (Recommended)
  • Manually copy the boot.stl file from the device Windows\Boot\EFI folder to the corresponding folder on your installation media before deploying the update.
For information about how to apply Dynamic Update packages to existing Windows images, see Update Windows installation media with Dynamic Update.

What error message are you getting?
Click to expand...
The same one referenced earlier in this thread...0x800f0915 following a RestoreHealth command. Before I read this thread I thought I was getting for some other reason. I did a repair by reinstall and it was back to normal. I let the update execute again, and the error is back. That is when I noticed this thread and many others (but not all) reporting similar issue.

I ran this right after the update (post #11).

But now, if I run: Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup
or.... Dism.exe /online /Cleanup-Image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase

...they only go to 70% and stop.
Maybe because the Component Store is clean?

Unless you have a recent disk image backup you can roll back to, I agree that one should wait until the next Patch Tuesday.

I had the chance to do that too.. (sky diving) but i said thanks, but no thanks.. :-)

I turned ON "Get the latest updates as soon as they're available" because I thought it would be cool to get them. I had no qualms checking it because I make a new backup drive image every night before shutting down. My daily image backups go back 30 days. I'm fully covered if I ever were to have a problem.

I'm also extraordinarily lucky as I've never had an update failure or update problem in the almost 5 years that I've been on Windows 11 Pro. With every update I always wonder if this will be the first failure. So far, so good! :cool:

Hi All.

I installed this latest update 8973 on my work PC this morning.
And for some reason after the restart some of my installed programs like word, excel and a few other apps started to pop up without being clicked on.
I did not have any of these in start up in the task manager at all.
It got so annoying that I uninstalled this update and the issue stopped.
I have paused updates for 2 weeks to see if a fix happens.
Has any one else had this issue?

I've not had this issue. I applied this update on July 28, more than 24 hours ago, on my System One and System Two and I use them quite actively.
