KB5060842 is a High security update for Windows Server 2019, released 2025-07-08. It closes 40 CVEs with a maximum CVSS of 8.8. At least one of them is actively exploited (CISA KEV), so this is a deploy-first update.

Update summary
Fixes 40 CVEs. At least one is actively exploited (CISA KEV). Most severe CVSS 8.8 (High). EPSS exploit probability up to 85%. Among the top 5% of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
A newer security update for Windows Server 2019 has shipped since this one: KB5094041 (2026-08-11). For cumulative update families the newer package includes these fixes, so installing that one is usually the shorter path. Verify against your own update rings before you skip this package.

KB5060842 is a further July 2025 rollup for Windows Server 2019 and Windows Server 2022, again resolving forty CVEs from the same CVE-2025-49735 and CVE-2025-29828 families. High severity, CVSS 8.8, an 82 percent EPSS score, and a CISA KEV listing all apply, so this is not an update to defer for a maintenance window weeks out. Multiple near identical packages this month suggest Microsoft split servicing by update type, make sure the one actually installed on each host matches this baseline.
Do this: Verify KB5060842 or an equivalent July 2025 package is fully installed on every Windows Server 2019 and 2022 instance.

Noto fonts issue
Applies to: All users
Symptom
There are reports of blurry or unclear CJK (Chinese, Japanese, Korean) text when displayed at 96 DPI (100% scaling) in Chromium-based browsers such as Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome. The March 2025 Preview Update introduced Noto fonts in collaboration with Google, for CJK languages as fallbacks to improve text rendering when websites or apps don’t specify appropriate fonts. The issue is due to limited pixel density at 96 DPI, which can reduce the clarity and alignment of CJK characters. Increasing the display scaling improves clarity by enhancing text rendering.
Workaround
Microsoft has shared its findings on the blurry text issue at 96 DPI, along with potential solutions with Google for further discussion. For additional support, users can report issues related to Noto CJK fonts through the official Google Noto Fonts GitHub repository .
Update delay with deferral policies
Symptoms
Some devices in environments where IT admis use quality update (QU) deferral policies might experience delays in receiving the June 2025 Windows security update.

This discrepancy might cause devices with configured deferral periods to receive the update later than expected.
Workaround
