Update summary
Fixes 383 CVEs. At least one is actively exploited (CISA KEV). Most severe CVSS 9.9 (Critical). EPSS exploit probability up to 71%. Among the top 25% of tracked Microsoft updates by EPSS exploit probability.
A newer security update for Windows Server 2025 (Server Core installation) has shipped since this one: KB5126646 (2026-10-13).

KB5099536 is an unusually large rollup for Windows 10 1809 and Windows Server 2019, fixing 388 CVEs including one rated Critical at CVSS 9.9 and at least one that is already on the CISA KEV list (though not tied to ransomware). Any organization still running the 1809 branch or Server 2019 is exposed, and the KEV listing means at least one flaw here is confirmed exploited in the wild.
Do this: Prioritize deploying KB5099536 to your Windows Server 2019 and Windows 10 1809 fleet now, starting with internet-facing and domain-critical systems given the confirmed KEV exploitation.
