Microsoft pushes emergency Windows 11 patch after Patch Tuesday glitches
Microsoft released an out-of-band emergency patch (KB5129194) for Windows 11 26H1 to fix two actively exploited zero-days and hundreds of other flaws from September’s Patch Tuesday. The fix comes a week after the major update caused issues with Remote Desktop Services, some USB audio devices, and Hyper-V Linux VMs; although it resolves several USB audio problems and is cumulative with September updates, some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices may still fail to start or produce sound. Users are urged to install the latest update promptly. The two zero-days addressed were CVE-2026-81963 (Windows Update Stack) and CVE-2026-85880 (ALPC).
