[Secure Boot]
- New! The status of Secure Boot certificate updates on your device may be displayed in the Windows Security app (Settings >Privacy & security > Windows Security). Learn more about the status alerts via badges and notifications. These enhancements are disabled by default on commercial devices.
- 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 addresses an issue where the device might enter BitLocker Recovery after the Secure Boot updates.
- [Networking] This update improves reliability when Windows uses SMB compression over QUIC. After you install this update, SMB compression requests over QUIC complete more consistently, reducing the likelihood of timeouts and supporting smoother, more dependable performance.
- [Remote Desktop] This update improves protection against phishing attacks that use Remote Desktop (.rdp) files. When you open an .rdp file, Remote Desktop shows all requested connection settings before it connects, with each setting turned off by default. A one-time security warning also appears the first time you open an .rdp file on a device. For more information, see Understanding security warnings when opening Remote Desktop (RDP) files.
- [Reset this PC (known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that might cause device reset to fail when using the “Keep my files” or “Remove everything” options. This might occur after installing the March 2026 (KB5079420) Hotpatch security update.
