What Microsoft changed in update known issues, October 24, 2026

Each day we read the Known issues section of Microsoft's support article for every recent Windows and Office update and record what changed. Since our last post, Microsoft changed that section on 4 updates. Every quote below is Microsoft's own text, from the article linked beside it.

Known issues Microsoft updated

"USB Audio Class 1.0 devices with error Code 10 or no output"

Microsoft changed the text of this known issue for:

The new text, in Microsoft's words:

After installing the September 8, 2026, Windows security update, some USB Audio Class 1.0 devices might fail to start or produce audio. Affected devices might experience one or more of the following symptoms: The device displays an error in Device Manager: "This device cannot start (Code 10).” No audio output. Volume controls are unresponsive or remain at zero. Sound settings are unresponsive or unavailable. Some devices might function in standard stereo configurations but fail when using multichannel audio features, including 8-channel or 3D audio modes. Some customers have reported that they're able to restore audio in these cases by switching to 2-channel mode. This issue is limited to USB Audio Class 1.0 devices. Microsoft is working on a resolution and will update this documentation when more information is available.

"Domain-joined devices might lose their secure trust relationship with the domain"

Microsoft changed the text of this known issue for:

The new text, in Microsoft's words:

Users might then be unable to sign in interactively with valid domain credentials and might receive a message stating that the trust relationship between the device and the domain failed. Offline sign-in using previously cached credentials might continue to work. AD replication and AD services on the domain controllers are not affected. This issue occurs because KB5124008 and later updates enable the Machine Identity Isolation feature. While the update does not directly enable Machine Identity Isolation enforcement, it does cause Windows to begin honoring any existing or policy-provisioned settings that enabled Machine Identity Isolation enforcement. However, this feature is only supported for environments connected to domain controllers running at a Windows Server 2025 Domain Functional Level (DFL) and above. The feature should be disabled elsewhere. Any devices previously configured to use Machine Identity Isolation that are not connected to Windows Server 2025 domain controllers will experience this issue and will need to disable the feature. Important: This section contains information about modifying the registry. Before you modify the registry, back it up and make sure that you know how to restore it if a problem occurs. For more information, see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows . To work around this issue, disable Machine Identity Isolation using the same management method that was used to enable it. Choose the applicable option below: If Machine Identity Isolation was enabled by Intune policy, disable Machine Identity Isolation with Intune . If Machine Identity Isolation was enabled by Group Policy, disable Machine Identity Isolation with Group Policy . If Machine Identity Isolation was enabled directly in the registry, use these steps to disable it: On the Windows 11, version 24H2 or 25H2 device, locate the following registry paths: HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\MachineIdentityIsolation HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\DeviceGuard\MachineIdentityIsolation For either of these registry keys, if the value of MachineIdentityIsolation is set to 2 , change it to: MachineIdentityIsolation = 0 After you disable Machine Identity Isolation, restart the device. Then reset the secure channel using the following command: Test-ComputerSecureChannel -Repair -Credential (Get-Credential) Microsoft plans to resolve this issue in a future Windows update by temporarily preventing Machine Identity Isolation enforcement while improvements are made to the feature.

"File History might stop working after installing September 2026 Windows update"

Microsoft changed the text of this known issue for:

The new text, in Microsoft's words:

After installing the September 2026 Windows security update KB5124008 , some customers using File History, might be unable to create or update backups. File History, available through Control Panel > System and Security > File History , is used to back up files to an external drive or network location. Affected devices might incorrectly display a "Reconnect your drive" message even when a compatible backup drive is connected and functioning properly. Additionally, the "Last Backup" timestamp might not update, and previously backed up files might show "No previous version available." In some cases, Event Viewer might record application crash events referencing FileHistory.exe and KERNELBASE.dll . This issue is resolved in Windows updates released on and after September 22, 2026 such as KB5124006 .
