Microsoft has released new out-of-band (OOB) updates for Windows 11 and Windows 10 aimed at addressing a critical bug related to Active Directory Group Policy. This update follows the recent April 2025 Patch Tuesday rollout (KB5055523, KB5055528 for Windows 11 and KB5055518, KB5055519, KB5055521, KB5055547 for Windows 10).
The primary focus of these updates is to resolve an issue affecting the audit logon/logoff events. Users may notice that these events do not display as enabled in their local policy settings, despite functioning correctly. This scenario can occur in the Local Group Policy Editor or Local Security Policy where the "Audit logon events" is shown as "No auditing." Microsoft has provided an explanation for this issue, indicating the necessity for this OOB update to rectify it.
These updates are cumulative and do not require the installation of any previous updates, as they replace all earlier versions. For users of the affected Windows versions utilizing Active Directory Group Policy, it is recommended to apply this OOB update instead of the standard April 2025 Windows security update.
Here are the specific updates available:
