Microsoft Confirms Remote Desktop Services Might Stop Working Following Sept. 2026 Security Update

Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday updates (KB5124008) can break Remote Desktop Services, causing RDP failures and freezes across Windows clients and servers.

Microsoft confirmed its September 2026 security updates, including KB5124008 for Windows 11 24H2/25H2, introduced a reliability regression where RDP connections fail after several minutes and servers hang at the 'Please wait for the Remote Desktop Configuration' screen. MMC, RDS Licensing Diagnoser, File Explorer, and the Windows Update settings page may also stop responding. The issue affects Windows 10/11 clients and Windows Server 2012 through 2025; Microsoft marked it Mitigated on September 11 and is developing a permanent fix, with VM restart offered as a temporary workaround.

Adversary simulation: what you need to know

UK NCSC publishes guidance on adversary simulation, comparing full spectrum and assumed breach approaches across prerequisites, testing, and reporting phases.

NCSC guidance describes two adversary simulation approaches: full spectrum, starting outside the network with an end-to-end attack, and assumed breach, starting from an internal foothold. The preferred methodology spans three phases - prerequisites (scoping, passive reconnaissance, preparation), testing (active reconnaissance, initial access, internal phase, cleanup), and reporting. The document distinguishes adversary simulation from penetration testing and stresses customer-defined objectives and minimal information sharing.
