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.

Summary

This article lists the security issues and quality improvements included in this security update.

Applies to: Windows Server 2016

This security update includes fixes and improvements that are a part of the following update:

March 10, 2026—KB5078938 (OS Build 14393.8957)

The following is a summary of the issues that this update addresses. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change we are documenting.

[Windows Component Services (WinCS)] This update addresses an issue that affects Windows Component Services (WinCS) on Windows 10, version 1607 and Windows Server 2016. Some WinCS components were missing. Because of this, you could not turn on Secure Boot using WinCS.
[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.
[Windows Deployment Services (WDS)] This update disables the “Hands-Free Deployment” feature in WDS by default and is no longer a supported feature. For more information about this change, see Windows Deployment Services (WDS) Hands-Free Deployment Hardening Guidance related to CVE-2026-0386.
[Kerberos protocol] This update changes the default DefaultDomainSupportedEncTypes value for Kerberos Key Distribution Center (KDC) operations to leverage AES-SHA1 for accounts that do not have an explicit msds-SupportedEncryptionTypes Active Directory attribute defined. For more information see, How to manage Kerberos KDC usage of RC4 for service account ticket issuance changes related to CVE-2026-20833.
[Secure Boot] 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.

If you installed earlier updates, only the new updates contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.
