November 18, 2025—KB5072359 (OS Build 26100.7178) Out-of-band

Improvements
This out-of-band (OOB) update includes quality improvements. This update is cumulative and includes security fixes and improvements from the November 11, 2025, security update (KB5068861) in addition to the following:

• [Upgrade to Windows Server 2025] Fixed: On some Intel C2030 systems with Samsung Non-Volatile Memory Express (NVMe) devices running Windows Server 2022, the upgrade to Windows Server 2025 might fail. Affected systems might fail to boot with error code 0x7B indicating INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE error. This occurs when an NVMe device sends an Asynchronous Event Notification (AEN) error during startup. This OOB update defers AEN enablement until initialization completes, preventing boot failures.

To resolve this issue, IT admins need to apply this OOB update to the Windows Server 2025 Operating System (OS) upgrade image before upgrading Windows Server 2022 devices to Windows Server 2025.
