What changes

Fixes 7 changes

Printing

Verified in package

For: devices adding an Active Directory printer

  • Adding a printer published in Active Directory from Settings works again instead of failing with error 87. Existing printers and printing were generally unaffected.1
    The issue affected Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Add device.

Windows Deployment Services

  • Importing a Windows deployment image now requires administrator privileges; attempts by non-administrators fail.2
    After installing this security update, the Import-WdsInstallImage cmdlet requires administrator privileges. Non-administrator attempts fail with ACCESS_DENIED.

Remote Desktop Web Access

Verified in package

For: business users and IT administrators

  • RD Web Access pages load in Edge and Chrome when browser policy disables XSLT.3
    RD Web Access pages are rendered on the server and no longer depend on browser XSLT support.

Remote Desktop

Verified in package 2 items
  • The policy for trusted Remote Desktop publisher certificates can be configured through Intune.4
    The policy is “Specify thumbprints of certificates representing trusted .rdp publishers.”
  • Remote Desktop shadow connections no longer fail with an “Unspecified error” on Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012 R2.5
    The issue followed installation of the October 14, 2026 update.

USB audio

Verified in package
  • The remaining sound problems on USB Audio Class 1.0 devices are resolved by this update. KB5129238 resolved the 8-channel and 3D audio symptoms earlier.6
    The remaining symptoms include Code 10 errors, no audio output, and unresponsive volume or sound settings.

Exchange Server

  • Some users can sign in to OWA and send email again after the issue affecting on-premises Exchange servers is resolved.7
    The issue could also leave Outlook messages in the Outbox or affect mailbox replication. Affected platforms include Windows Server 2019.

Improvements 3 changes

Date and Time

For: devices using Cuba time-zone rules

  • Cuba stays on UTC-04:00 through the 2026–2027 daylight-saving period, without clock changes in November 2026 or March 2027. It returns to UTC-05:00 in November 2027.8
    Cuba resumes its regular seasonal schedule in 2028.

Windows PowerShell

For: PowerShell script authors and IT administrators

  • PowerShell checks script signatures more strictly. Scripts with invalid UTF-8 encoding might fail validation, even if they passed before.9
    Save affected scripts with valid UTF-8 encoding and a byte order mark (BOM), then sign them again.

Security

  • NTLM clients offer message signing by default for non-anonymous connections, helping reduce exposure to relay attacks.10
    The change also provides auditing to identify connections that are not using signing.

Known issues

  1. Resolved Affects: Everyone Resolved by KB5129238

    USB Audio Class 1.0 devices with error Code 10 or no output

    Some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices might show Code 10, produce no sound, or have unresponsive volume controls or sound settings. KB5131085 resolves the remaining symptoms; KB5129238 resolved the 8-channel and 3D audio symptoms earlier.6

    How to apply the workaround Workaround

    For 8-channel or 3D audio problems, some customers reported restoring sound by switching to 2-channel mode.6
