Microsoft has released the Windows 10 KB5131096 extended security update, which incorporates the November 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes alongside several bug resolutions and system adjustments, with further coverage provided by Bleeping Computer.

Users running Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC or those enrolled in the Extended Security Update program can install the update via Windows Update. The patch elevates Windows 10 to build 19045.7846 and Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 to build 19044.7846. This release addresses 1,235 vulnerabilities across the Microsoft ecosystem, including a critical Outlook zero-day flaw. Notable changes include updated daylight saving time rules for Cuba and a fix for a printing error that previously caused failures when adding Active Directory printers. The update also resolves Remote Desktop shadow connection errors and strengthens security for PowerShell script signing by implementing stricter encoding validation. Furthermore, Microsoft has addressed remaining issues affecting USB Audio Class 1.0 devices, which had caused audio failures and unresponsive volume controls following the September 2026 security updates. These fixes ensure improved stability for enterprise environments relying on legacy Windows 10 support.
