Patch Tuesday - September 2026
Microsoft's September 2026 Patch Tuesday fixes 999 CVEs, a record, with two zero-day privilege escalation flaws already exploited in the wild.
Microsoft published 974 own-product vulnerabilities plus 25 non-Microsoft CVEs, totaling 999 — the most CVEs Microsoft has ever released in a single day. Two flaws are exploited in the wild: CVE-2026-85880, an out-of-bounds write in Windows ALPC granting SYSTEM privileges, and CVE-2026-81963, an improper link resolution flaw in the Windows Update Stack also leading to SYSTEM. Chrome's V8 zero-day CVE-2026-85046 was patched in Edge on September 2, but Microsoft had not published a corresponding advisory, leaving uncertainty about other Chromium fixes in Edge. October 14 lifecycle changes end servicing for Windows 11 24H2 Home/Pro, Office 2021, and Exchange Server 2016/2019.

Microsoft Excel KB5002914 update breaks copy and paste for some users
Microsoft's September Patch Tuesday update KB5002914 breaks copy-and-paste and formula dragging in Excel 2016 through 2024; uninstalling the update restores functionality.
Users on Reddit and Microsoft Q&A report that the KB5002914 security update shipped in the September 2026 Patch Tuesday breaks copy-and-paste, autofill, and formula dragging in Excel. The problem spans Office 2016 through 2024 across MSI and Click-to-Run installations, including Office LTSC Standard 2021, with some teams blocked after widespread patching. Uninstalling KB5002914 or downgrading the Office build restores functionality, though replacing the excel.exe binary is not recommended. BleepingComputer could not reproduce the issue on Excel 2019 Version 2508 Build 19127.20302 and contacted Microsoft for comment.
