Microsoft has released the August 2026 security updates for supported versions of Windows. Microsoft recommends that users and organisations install the updates promptly.
What businesses should do
For managed environments, updates should still be deployed in a controlled way: confirm backups, monitor known issues, test important line-of-business applications where appropriate, and then roll the security updates out across supported devices.
Home and small-business users can check Settings → Windows Update and install available updates. Managed KPTech clients should follow their normal patch-management process.
