Applies ToWindows Server 2019 Win 10 Ent LTSC 2019
Summary
This article lists the security issues and quality improvements included in this cumulative security update.
Applies to: Windows Server 2019
This security update includes fixes and quality improvements that are part of the following update:
The following is a summary of the issues that this update addresses when you install this update. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change we are documenting.
[Date and Time] This update adjusts daylight saving time (DST) rules for Cuba for the extended 2026-2027 DST period. Cuba remains on UTC-04:00 and doesn't observe the November 2026 and March 2027 transitions. It returns to UTC-05:00 in November 2027 and resumes its regular seasonal schedule in 2028.
[Printing] - Fixed: Adding a printer published in Active Directory through Settings > Bluetooth & devices > Printers & scanners > Add device might fail with error 87, "The parameter is incorrect." This issue was introduced by the October 2026 update and does not generally affect existing printers or printing.
[Windows Deployment Services] Fixed: After installing this security update, the Import-WdsInstallImage cmdlet requires administrator privileges. Attempts to run the cmdlet as a non-administrator fail with an ACCESS_DENIED error.
[Remote Desktop Web Access] Fixed: RD Web Access might fail to load and display “Unable to display RD Web Access” in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome when XSLT is disabled by browser policy. RD Web Access pages are now rendered on the server and no longer depend on browser XSLT support. To learn more, see KB5130994: RD Web Access fails to load when XSLT is disabled in Microsoft Edge or Google Chrome.
[Remote Desktop]
- Fixed: The “Specify thumbprints of certificates representing trusted .rdp publishers” policy could not be configured successfully through Microsoft Intune.
- Fixed: Remote Desktop shadow connections might fail with an “Unspecified error” on Windows Server 2016 and Windows Server 2012 R2 after installing the October 14, 2026, update.
[Exchange Server] This update fixes an issue that affects on-premises Exchange servers. The issue might prevent signing in to Outlook on the web (OWA), cause email messages to remain in the Outlook Outbox without being delivered, or prevent Exchange from accessing mailboxes during mailbox replication.
[Windows PowerShell] This update strengthens security for PowerShell script signing and signature verification by introducing stricter encoding validation. As a result, scripts containing invalid UTF-8 encoding might fail signature validation, even if they were previously accepted. To resolve this issue, review the affected scripts, save them using valid UTF-8 encoding with a byte order mark (BOM), and sign them again. For further guidance, see Encoding Guidance for Signed PowerShell Scripts.
[Security] This update improves NTLM security by enabling clients to offer NTLM message signing by default for non-anonymous connections. This change helps reduce exposure to NTLM relay attacks and provides auditing to identify connections that are not using signing. To learn more, see NTLM signing security improvements in Windows.
Known issues in this update
Windows activation and licensing commands might fail with error 0x80041008
Symptoms
After installing the November 2026 Windows security update, certain Windows activation and licensing operations performed using the Software Licensing Management Tool might fail.
Affected devices might encounter error 0x80041008, Invalid parameter (SWbemObjectEx), when running commands to activate Windows, configure Key Management Service (KMS), or manage product keys. The failure has been observed while executing the following commands:
slmgr.vbs /skms-domain <domain>slmgr.vbs /ipk <key>
This issue primarily affects organizations that use command-line tools or automated processes to manage Windows activation and licensing.
Devices that are already activated remain activated. Customers whose devices already have the appropriate KMS client key and KMS configuration, and who do not need to run the affected Slmgr.vbs commands, are not expected to be affected.
Devices that are being configured to use KMS activation might encounter errors when attempting to initiate their activation. KMS-activated devices typically remain activated for up to 180 days following successful activation. Customers who have the KMS client key already installed in their image and do not use slmgr for further configurations are unaffected.
Workaround
A workaround is available for organizations that need an immediate mitigation. Please contact Microsoft Support for business.
We are working on a resolution that will be available in the coming days. We will update this documentation when it becomes available
Users might be unable to sign in to OWA or send emails on Exchange Server
Symptoms:
After installing this update, some on-premises Exchange servers might experience issues accessing or sending email. Users might be unable to sign in to Outlook on the web (OWA), or email messages sent from Outlook might remain in the Outbox and not be delivered. Additionally, Exchange might experience issues accessing mailboxes during mailbox replication.
In some affected configurations, Exchange Server OWA might fail with an error MapiExceptionMdbOffline: Unable to make connection to the server. (hr=0x80004005, ec=1142) with Event ID 1006 logged in the application log. Another reported symptom is growing email queues. Installing the October 2026 Exchange server security updates isn’t required for these issues to occur.
Resolution
This issue is resolved in Windows updates released on and after November 10, 2026 such as (KB5131085). We recommend you install the latest Windows update for your device as it contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.
USB Audio Class 1.0 devices with error Code 10 or no output
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.
- Some devices might function in standard stereo configurations but fail when using multichannel audio features, including 8-channel or 3D audio modes. Some customers have reported that they're able to restore audio in these cases by switching to 2-channel mode.
This issue is limited to USB Audio Class 1.0 devices.
Resolution
The symptoms experienced on devices using 8-channel or 3D audio modes are addressed in the out-of-band (OOB) update released on September 14, 2026, (KB5129238). The remaining symptoms are addressed in (KB5131085).

Servicing stack update (KB5131084) - 17763.9478
Microsoft now combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). SSUs improves the reliability of the update process and includes fixes to the servicing stack, the component that installs Windows updates.
This servicing stack update (SSU) includes enhanced logic to verify whether a device is hosted on Azure, leveraging an updated certificate chain for validation. To ensure that the device can access the required certificate update domains to successfully download and install certificate updates, see Certificate downloads and revocation lists and Azure Certificate Authority details. To learn more about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates.

Secure Boot certificate updates remain in progress as Microsoft transitions devices from certificates that began expiring in 2026 to newer certificates. Devices that have not yet received the newer certificates can continue to start and receive standard Windows updates. Microsoft will continue delivering the newer Secure Boot certificates to eligible devices through Windows Update.
End of support
Microsoft will no longer provide free software updates from Windows Update, technical assistance, or security fixes on the following end dates. We recommend that you upgrade to a later version of Windows Server.
