Windows 11 July 2026 Patch Tuesday Updates, KB5101650 & KB5099414, Out Now

Here’s the official changelog for the July 2026 Patch Tuesday update KB5101650 and KB5099414:

• [Secure Boot] This update includes additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Certificate deployment via Windows updates continues
• [Apps (Known issue)] Fixed: This update addresses an issue that affects certain third-party apps that use OLE Automation to interact with Microsoft Office. After installing the June 2026 security update (KB5094126), these apps might fail to launch Office or open documents.
• [Input] This update changes hotkey unregister and cleanup behavior. In rare cases, some built-in Windows experiences that rely on previous hotkey lifecycle behavior might temporarily stop responding to certain keyboard shortcuts. This issue can typically be resolved by restarting the app affected. If the issue is not resolved, report it through the Feedback Hub.
• [Networking] This update introduces a security hardening change that enforces TDI transport registration requirements. As a result, applications that use sockets over unregistered third-party TDI transports might stop working after installing this update. Registered TDI transports are not affected.
• [Security] This update upgrades the curl tool in Windows to version 8.21.0 and includes security improvements that help protect your device.
• [Remote Desktop (RDP) Security] Support for SHA-2 certificate thumbprints has been added for trusted RDP publishers, with SHA-1 support retained only for backward compatibility and planned for future removal. New guidance is available for managing RDP file security through Group to help organizations reduce phishing risks by controlling which .rdp files users can open. We recommend IT administrators migrate to SHA-256 thumbprints or a stronger algorithm as soon as possible to avoid disruption.

Fortunately, Microsoft hasn’t listed any known issue linked to this update as of now. Let’s not forget that Microsoft has also released Windows 10 ESU under KB5099539.
