The April 2026 Patch Tuesday updates are here, bringing to Windows users the latest security and bug fixes. For those still on Windows 10, Microsoft prepared KB5082200, with build numbers 19045.7184 and 19044.7184. Changelog includes the following;
- [Sign-In] Fixed: After you install the Windows update released on or after March 10, 2026, some users might experience an issue signing in to apps with a Microsoft account. Even when the device has a working Internet connection, a “no Internet” error appears during sign in and prevents access to Microsoft services and apps such as Microsoft Teams.
- [Remote Desktop] This update improves protection against phishing attacks that use Remote Desktop (.rdp) files. When you open an .rdp file, Remote Desktop shows all requested connection settings before it connects, with each setting turned off by default. A one-time security warning also appears the first time you open an .rdp file on a device. For more information, see Understanding security warnings when opening Remote Desktop (RDP) files.
[Secure Boot]
- This update enables dynamic status reporting for Secure Boot states in the Windows Security App (Settings > Update & Security > Windows Security). Learn more about the status alerts via badges and notifications. Note that these enhancements are disabled by default on commercial devices and servers.
- This update fixes an issue that could cause a device to enter BitLocker Recovery after Secure Boot updates.
- With this update, Windows quality updates include additional high confidence device targeting data, increasing coverage of devices eligible to automatically receive new Secure Boot certificates. Devices receive the new certificates only after demonstrating sufficient successful update signals, maintaining a controlled and phased rollout.
There are a few extra changes for those on LTSC releases:
- [Licensing] Improved: This update addresses an issue that affects Long-Term Servicing Channel (LTSC) image creation using Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM). DISM offline operations on the below editions could not apply security updates because of limits in licensing enforcement. Now, you can use DISM to add security packages during offline image creation for LTSC. Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, Windows 10 Enterprise G SKU, and Windows 10 Enterprise N LTSC
