Microsoft’s October 2025 Patches Disrupt Active Directory Sync on Server 2025 Systems

Microsoft’s October 2025 Patches Disrupt Active Directory Sync on Server 2025 Systems

Microsoft has acknowledged a significant issue affecting Windows Server 2025 systems, particularly after the installation of the October 2025 security updates. This issue disrupts Active Directory directory synchronization, especially impacting organizations with large security groups exceeding 10,000 members. The synchronization failures affect applications relying on DirSync for on-premises Active Directory Domain Services and particularly impact those using Microsoft Entra Connect Sync to link on-premises directories with cloud services. The problem was first noted on October 14, 2025, after the installation of the September 2025 Windows security update (KB5065426). A temporary workaround involves modifying the Windows registry by creating a DWORD value named 2362988687 with a value of 0 under the FeatureManagement Overrides section at HKEYLOCALMACHINE. Microsoft cautions that incorrect registry changes can lead to severe complications. There is no definitive timeline for a permanent fix, and the issue is limited to Windows Server 2025, with no similar problems reported for earlier server editions or client versions of Windows. Organizations using Windows Server 2022 or older are unaffected. Administrators should assess synchronization needs before deploying the October 2025 updates and monitor for updates regarding a permanent resolution.

Windows 10 Support is Ending; Here’s What You Need to Do Next

Microsoft will end support for Windows 10 on October 14, 2025. After this date, Windows 10 PCs will still function but will not receive security updates or bug fixes, leading to potential vulnerabilities and compatibility issues. Microsoft is encouraging users to upgrade to Windows 11, which currently has a market share of 38%. Users can maintain security by keeping antivirus software and browsers updated, and Google Chrome will continue to receive updates on Windows 10. Microsoft offers an Extended Security Update (ESU) program for Windows 10, providing critical updates for a fee, with the first year starting on November 11, 2025, and ending on October 13, 2026. Consumers will need to upgrade to Windows 11 by October 2026 unless further extensions are announced. There are methods to bypass Windows 11's hardware requirements, such as using tools like Rufus or Registry workarounds. Alternatives to upgrading include Chrome OS Flex and Linux Mint, both of which offer user-friendly environments for continued computing tasks.

Microsoft quietly removes official Windows 11 CPU/TPM bypass for unsupported PCs

In October 2021, Microsoft launched Windows 11, version 21H2, and provided a workaround for users with unsupported PCs to upgrade. This workaround involved modifying the Registry to bypass CPU and TPM compatibility checks. However, Microsoft has since removed this workaround from its support documentation after the release of Windows 11 24H2, indicating a shift in its approach. The company now recommends purchasing new hardware for compatibility with Windows 11 and does not endorse upgrades on unsupported devices.
