Take Action: Out-of-band update to address November 2025 hotpatch update being reoffered after Windows update scan

What the notice says

Microsoft’s text, safely structured

Microsoft has identified an issue affecting some organizations using hotpatch updates on devices running Windows 11 Enterprise, version 25H2. After installing the hotpatch update KB5068966 released November 11, 2025, affected devices repeatedly download and install the same update when a Windows Update scan is run. This behavior does not impact device functionality; only the update history will reflect the latest installation timestamp.

An out-of-band (OOB) update was released today, November 20, 2025, to address this issue. This is a cumulative update, so you do not need to apply any previous updates before installing this update, as it supersedes all previous updates for affected versions.

If you have not yet deployed the November 2025 hotpatch update (KB5068966) on Windows 11, version 25H2 devices in your environment, we recommend you apply this OOB update (KB5072753) instead.
