Microsoft has recently released out-of-band (OOB) updates for Windows 11 and Windows 10. These updates come as a quick fix following the April 2025 Patch Tuesday, which was rolled out earlier this week. The main purpose of these updates is to address a bug related to Active Directory Group Policies.
The issue specifically involves audit logon and logoff events in the Local Group Policy, where the settings might not be displayed as active, even if they are functioning correctly. This confusion can be observed in both the Local Group Policy Editor and the Local Security Policy interfaces, where the “Audit logon events” option incorrectly shows a setting of “No auditing.”
Here’s what you need to know about the updates:
- Release Date: April 11, 2025
- Affected Versions:
- Windows 11 (Versions 23H2 and 22H2) – KB5058919
- Windows Server 2022 – KB5058920
- Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and Windows Server 2019 – KB5058922
- Windows 10 LTSB 2016 and Windows Server 2016 – KB5058921
- Azure Stack HCI (Version 22H2) – KB5058920
These updates are cumulative, meaning you do not need to install previous updates before applying them. For users utilizing Active Directory Group Policy, Microsoft recommends deploying this OOB update immediately if the April 2025 security update has not yet been implemented.
