Exploitation is not theoretical here: at least one CVE this update fixes is on the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, which means attackers are already using it against unpatched systems. For an update like this, the risk window is the gap between today and the day your last device installs it, so shortening that gap matters more than perfect scheduling.

Most organizations deliver an update like this automatically through Intune update rings, Windows Update for Business, Windows Autopatch, or WSUS; the install section below covers each path, including how to expedite it for the exploited CVE. For the bigger picture: how the Microsoft patching tools fit together, this month's Patch Tuesday summary, and every update ranked by real-world risk.

Senserva AI Opinion for KB5099535

KB5099535 is the July 2026 Security Update for .NET Framework 3.5 and 4.7.2 on Windows 10 Version 1607 and Windows Server 2016, including Server Core. The July cycle it belongs to carries two zero-days, CVE-2026-56155 in AD FS which is exploited in the wild and CVE-2026-50661 in BitLocker which is publicly disclosed, so servers running AD FS on 2016 warrant priority attention. Note the data is provisional because Microsoft has not yet published the per-update CVE detail, so the exact CVEs bundled into this specific .NET package are not confirmed.

Do this: Deploy KB5099535 across your Windows 10 1607 and Server 2016 fleet this cycle, prioritizing any Server 2016 hosts running AD FS given the actively exploited CVE-2026-56155.

How to install KB5099535

Any of these paths delivers KB5099535; most organizations already have one of the first three running:

  • Intune update rings (Windows Update for Business): the update flows on each ring's deferral schedule. For this update, consider an expedite policy: it bypasses deferrals for exactly this fix-now case.
  • Windows Autopatch: rings, rollout, and pause or rollback are managed for you; exploited updates can be expedited.
  • WSUS / Configuration Manager: approve KB5099535 for your device groups and set a deadline (deadline, not just approval, for an exploited fix).
  • Manual: download from the Update Catalog above and install; fine for a handful of machines, unmanageable at any real scale.

After the rollout, verify rather than assume: update compliance reporting in Intune or Autopatch shows which devices actually installed it, and Siemserva reads Intune, Defender, Autopatch, and Azure Update Manager together to show the devices still missing KB5099535, ranked by exploitation.

Common questions about KB5099535

Does KB5099535 have known issues?

Yes. Microsoft's support article documents known issues for KB5099535 (checked 2026-07-21). The Known issues section on this page quotes it; verify against the article before acting.

Is KB5099535 urgent?

Yes. KB5099535 fixes at least one vulnerability in the CISA Known Exploited Vulnerabilities catalog, meaning attackers are using it in the wild. Deploy it first.

How do I download KB5099535?

From the Microsoft Update Catalog (linked on this page), or let Intune, Windows Update for Business, Windows Autopatch, or WSUS deliver it. The catalog page lists the download for each supported product.

How do I deploy KB5099535 with Intune?

Assign a Windows Update ring (quality update policy) to the device groups and the update flows on the ring's deferral schedule. Because KB5099535 fixes an actively exploited CVE, an Intune expedite policy is the right tool: it bypasses configured deferrals and pushes the update as soon as devices check in. Verify the rollout with update compliance reporting rather than assuming delivery.
