KB5124012 is a Microsoft update from Patch Tuesday September 2026, released on 8 Sep 2026. According to the Security Update Guide it fixes 103 vulnerabilities (Windows). Affected according to our entries: Microsoft Windows 11, Version 26H2. Known issues with this update: 1 with workaround, 1 fixed.
Some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices might fail to start or produce no audio after installing Windows 11, version 26H2. Microsoft lists the same issue for other Windows client and server versions, where it originates from the September 8, 2026 security updates. For 26H2 the vendor status is Mitigated and a fix in a future Windows update is still being worked on.
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.
