KB5066795: Servicing stack update for Windows Server 2012: October 14, 2025

Applies To
Windows Server 2012 ESU

Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration

Important: Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices are set to expire starting in June 2026. This might affect the ability of certain personal and business devices to boot securely if not updated in time. To avoid disruption, we recommend reviewing the guidance and taking action to update certificates in advance. For details and preparation steps, see Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration and CA updates.

We recommend that you upgrade to a later version of Windows Server. For more information, see Overview of Windows Server upgrades.
