UPDATE 9/22:


 Microsoft Support:

This out-of-band (OOB) update for Windows 11, version 25H2 and Windows 11, version 24H2 (KB5129195) is cumulative. It includes updates from previous releases, along with additional security and non-security improvements. Visit the Windows release health dashboard for the latest status on this release.

Change log

Change date​
Change description​
September 18, 2026Added a known issue, "Domain-joined devices might lose their secure trust relationship with the domain".

Improvements​

This OOB update includes the following improvement:
  • [Security] This update includes protections documented in CVE-2026-62721, which refers to a Windows User-Mode Power Service (UMPS) Elevation of Privilege vulnerability.
  • [Remote Desktop Services (known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue affecting Remote Desktop Services (RDS) after installing the September 2026 Windows security update (KB5122880). In affected environments, RDS might become unstable, causing RDP connection and sign-in failures or servers to become unresponsive during Remote Desktop configuration. Related tools, including Microsoft Management Console (MMC), RDS Licensing Diagnoser, File Explorer, and the Windows Update page, might also stop responding.
  • [Hyper-V (known issue)] Fixed: Some applications that use HCS-managed virtual machines experienced issues when sharing host folder with Linux VMs using Plan9. Folders shared from the Windows host using Plan9 did not appear or could not be accessed in the guest environment.
  • [8-channel or 3D audio modes] Fixed: Some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices functioning as expected in standard stereo configurations failed when using multichannel audio features, including 8-channel or 3D audio modes. (Note: There are other audio symptoms not resolved in this OOB update. See the “Known issues in this update” section for more information.)

Component updates​

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5124007) - 22621.9441​

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​

Symptoms

After installing the August 2026 Windows non-security preview update KB5120998 and subsequent updates, some devices might experience desktop loading issues. This issue has been primarily observed on Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) hosts using FSLogix. This issue appears to occur more frequently with some existing user profiles.

Affected users might see a black screen after sign-in, with the desktop session failing to load automatically. In some cases, users might be unable to access their desktop until the desktop session is started manually. Application event logs might also show Windows Explorer crashes.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in Windows updates released on and after October 13, 2026 such as KB5127648. We recommend you install the latest Windows update for your device as it contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.

Symptoms

After installing the September 8, 2026, Windows security update (KB5124008), or later updates, some Credential Guard protected machine accounts might lose their secure channel with an on-premises Active Directory (AD) domain. Users might then be unable to sign in interactively with valid domain credentials and might receive a message stating that the trust relationship between the device and the domain failed. Offline sign-in using previously cached credentials might continue to work. AD replication and AD services on the domain controllers are not affected.

This issue occurs because KB5124008 and later updates enable the Machine Identity Isolation feature. While the update does not directly enable Machine Identity Isolation enforcement, it does cause Windows to begin honoring any existing or policy-provisioned settings that enabled Machine Identity Isolation enforcement. However, this feature is only supported for environments connected to domain controllers running at a Windows Server 2025 Domain Functional Level (DFL) and above. The feature should be disabled elsewhere. Any devices previously configured to use Machine Identity Isolation that are not connected to Windows Server 2025 domain controllers will experience this issue and will need to disable the feature.

Resolution

This issue is addressed by KB5124010. This update prevents Machine Identity Isolation (MII) enforcement by disabling it completely while improvements are made to the feature. MII enforcement will be prevented regardless of the MII configuration.

Symptoms

After installing the September 8, 2026, Windows security update, some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices might fail to start or produce audio. Affected devices might experience one or more of the following symptoms:
  • The device displays an error in Device Manager: "This device cannot start (Code 10).”
  • No audio output.
  • Volume controls are unresponsive or remain at zero.
  • Sound settings are unresponsive or unavailable.
This issue is limited to USB Audio Class 1.0 devices.

Resolution
Microsoft is working on a resolution and will update this documentation when more information is available.

Symptoms

After installing the September 2026 Windows security update KB5124008, some customers using File History, might be unable to create or update backups. File History, available through Control Panel > System and Security > File History, is used to back up files to an external drive or network location. Affected devices might incorrectly display a "Reconnect your drive" message even when a compatible backup drive is connected and functioning properly. Additionally, the "Last Backup" timestamp might not update, and previously backed up files might show "No previous version available." In some cases, Event Viewer might record application crash events referencing FileHistory.exe and KERNELBASE.dll.

Resolution

This issue is resolved in Windows updates released on and after September 22, 2026 such as KB5124010. We recommend you install the latest Windows update for your device as it contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.

Warning! 😵‍💫😂
I don't know if anybody saw this issue that comes with the new taskbar setting.
When I change the position of the taskbar to the left or the right, it makes a mess of my desktop icons layout.
The mess stays even if I put back the taskbar in the original position. (Bottom, Taskbar icon alignment > Left)
Another reason for not using this new feature 😝🤬🤷‍♂️
Luckily, I have ReIcon_x64 and I can quickly restore my desktop layout to the original.

People still use desktop icons?😉
I have two: Computer (I always rename "This PC") and Recycle Bin. The long practice to use them since Windows 95, maybe outdated...

My Recycle Bin is the little Minibin on my taskbar and the File explorer is set to open to This PC by default. I keep a handful of common daily use apps on the taskbar, the routine apps on the Start Menu pinned area and the rest listed in grid view below the pinned items but everyone has different preferences on how to setup their desktop. I tend to prefer keeping system info (CPU, RAM, GPU, etc.) displayed on my desktop with a slideshow of wallpapers. Don't even remember the last time I had any desktop icons displayed.

I like a clean main Desktop, at least, in the center..., Calendar Blotter on the right, junk on the left..., no icons.

Good approach, but for me it's not enough: I often use "Manage" in right-click menu where are such important tools (again, for me) as Event Viewer, Device Manager and Disk Management, sometimes I also need to check Services. So, this single icon provides a multi-purpose access, which can be replaced, but need to add multiple shortcuts (as in Windows Tools).
