    Domain controllers may restart repeatedly after installing April security update

    After installing the April 2026 Windows security update (KB5082123) and rebooting, domain controllers (DCs) in environments with multiple domains in the forest that use Privileged Access Management (PAM), might experience LSASS crashes during startup. As a result, affected DCs may restart repeatedly, preventing authentication and directory services from functioning, and potentially rendering the domain unavailable.

    Note: This issue affects Windows Server only. It does not impact consumer PCs or personal devices. The scenario is unlikely to be observed on individual-use devices that are not managed by an IT department.

    Resolution: This issue is resolved by the out-of-band (OOB) update, released April 19, 2026, in the Microsoft Update Catalog. It can be found as KB5091573. For additional guidance, see How to download updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog.

    • ​Client: None

    Windows Server 2022 and Server 2019 unexpectedly upgraded to Windows Server 2025

    Windows Server 2025 is intended to be offered as an Optional upgrade in Windows Update settings for devices running Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022. Two scenarios were observed in certain environments:

    • ​Some devices upgraded automatically to Windows Server 2025 (KB5044284). This was observed in environments that use third-party products to manage the update of clients and servers. Please verify whether third-party update software in your environment is configured not to deploy feature updates. This scenario has been mitigated.
    • ​An upgrade to Windows Server 2025 was offered via a message in a banner displayed on the device’s Windows Update page, under Settings. This message is intended for organizations that want to execute an in-place upgrade. This scenario has already been resolved.

    The Windows Server 2025 feature update was released as an Optional update under the Upgrade Classification: “DeploymentAction=OptionalInstallation”. Feature update metadata must be interpreted as Optional and not Recommended by patch management tools.

    We advise organizations to use Microsoft-recommended methods to deploy Windows Server feature updates.

    Resolution: This issue is resolved and Microsoft has re-enabled the upgrade offer via the Windows Update settings panel. For more information on Feature Update from the Windows Server Setting Dialog, see Perform an in-place upgrade of Windows Server at Microsoft Learn.
