April 2026 patch triggers LSASS crashes and reboot loops on PAM-protected domain controllers

Microsoft warns that the April 2026 security update KB5082063 can cause LSASS crashes and reboot loops on non-GC domain controllers in Privileged Access Management environments during startup, breaking authentication and directory services on affected Windows Server versions (2025, 2022, 23H2, 2019, 2016). Admins should contact Microsoft Support for Business for mitigations even after patching; a fix is in progress. The company also notes separate issues: potential install failures on some Server 2025 systems and BitLocker key prompts after the update.

Microsoft has since pulled the update, but a rollback solution remains unavailable, raising concerns about update management and the risks of automatic upgrades.

"Windows Server to Integrate Linux 'Sudo' Command"

Microsoft is introducing the Linux 'sudo' command to Windows Server 2025, allowing admins to elevate privileges for console applications. The leaked preview build of Windows Server 2025 includes new settings for the 'sudo' command, which is currently in early development and requires developer mode to be enabled. This feature aims to provide a way for low-privileged users to execute commands with elevated privileges, similar to its functionality in Linux. While not yet available in Windows 11, it is possible that Microsoft may integrate this feature into the operating system in the future.
