Microsoft warns of blue screen crashes caused by April updates

Microsoft has warned customers about potential system failures due to a blue screen error (secure kernel fatal error) following the installation of Windows updates since March, specifically the KB5055523 April cumulative update and the KB5053656 March preview update, affecting Windows 11, version 24H2. Users may experience crashes and a blue screen exception with the code 0x18B. Microsoft is working on a solution and has implemented a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) to reverse the problematic updates, which will automatically reach affected devices within 24 hours. Affected users are advised to restart their devices. For enterprise-managed devices, administrators must install the KIR Group Policy specific to their Windows version to resolve the issue, requiring a device restart. Further assistance is available on the Microsoft support website. Additionally, Microsoft has released emergency updates for local audit logon policies in Active Directory Group Policy and alerted administrators about potential inaccessibility of Windows Server 2025 domain controllers post-restart.

Emergency Windows update solves Active Directory problem

Microsoft is releasing emergency patches to address an issue with local audit logon policies in Active Directory Group Policy, affecting various Windows versions including Windows 11 and Windows Server editions. The problem involves a reporting error where audit logon/logoff events may not appear as enabled in the Local Group Policy Editor, despite being active. The updates released include: - Windows 11, versions 23H2 and 22H2 (KB5058919) - Windows Server 2022 (KB5058920) - Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and Windows Server 2019 (KB5058922) - Windows 10 LTSB 2016 and Windows Server 2016 (KB5058921) - Azure Stack HCI, version 22H2 (KB5058920) These patches are not security updates and are intended for affected organizations only. They can be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog. The current updates are cumulative, meaning previous updates do not need to be installed first. Microsoft notes that home users are unlikely to be affected by this issue.
