KB5079234: Servicing stack update for Windows Server 2012: March 10, 2026

Applies To
Windows Server 2012 ESU

Note

  • Windows Secure Boot certificate expiration
  • Important: Secure Boot certificates used by most Windows devices are set to expire starting in June 2026. Microsoft has been updating these certificates on consumer and non-managed business devices for the past months. Devices that haven’t received the newer certificates will continue to start and operate normally, and standard Windows updates will continue to install. We will continue to install the newer certificates via Windows updates in the coming months.
  • You can check your PC status on the Windows Security app. If you are an IT administrator, follow the guidance on the Secure Boot Playbook for Windows clients and Windows Server.

Note

  • Support for Windows Server 2012 will end in October 2026
  • Windows Server 2012 reached the end of support (EOS) on October 10, 2023.
  • Extended Security Updates (ESUs) are available for purchase and will continue for three years, renewable on an annual basis, until the final date on October 13, 2026. For information about the procedure to continue receiving security updates, see KB5031043.
  • We recommend that you upgrade to a later version of Windows Server. For more information, see Overview of Windows Server upgrades.
