After installing Windows 11 version 26H2, Credential Guard protected machine accounts may lose their secure channel to an on-premises Active Directory domain. The cause is Machine Identity Isolation (MII), which Windows now honours; it is only supported with Windows Server 2025 domain controllers at Domain Functional Level 2025 or above. Microsoft has resolved the issue with updates released on 2026-09-22 and later.
After the September 2026 preview update, non-admin users might be unable to connect via Remote Desktop to devices that have Administrator protection enabled. Microsoft resolved the issue with updates released on 2026-10-28. For Windows 11 24H2 the release health page still shows the issue as mitigated, with a fix planned for a future update.
After installing Windows 11, version 26H2 and subsequent updates, some devices may fail to load the desktop after sign-in. The issue was mainly observed on Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD) hosts using FSLogix, more often with some existing user profiles. Microsoft resolved it with the updates released on 2026-10-13 (KB5127648) and later.
