Microsoft has released an out-of-band hotpatch update, KB5084597, to fix three remote code execution vulnerabilities in the Windows Routing and Remote Access Service (RRAS) management tool. The update targets Windows 11 Enterprise devices enrolled in the hotpatch program that did not receive the fixes through the standard March 2026 Patch Tuesday cumulative update.
The three vulnerabilities are tracked as CVE-2026-25172, CVE-2026-25173, and CVE-2026-26111. All three were addressed in the March 10 Patch Tuesday release for standard Windows 11 devices.

Microsoft windows has turned into the spying OS , collecting everything it can, next it will take your shirt ,LOL
But same outfit is a leader in AI 😂😂
rm -rf / deletes everything in its path, including files on hard drives or connected devices.
–rf removes the prompt that asks the user if he really want to delete a file or directory. This command is very dangerous to run because there is no undelete command in Unix, so once deleted, it cannot be recovered.
/ tells rm to start in the root directory, which contains all the files on a computer. Sometimes option 3 is the best in Windows.
I think the code has gotten away from Microsoft and they don’t have a good handle on how to fix it and make it stable. There seem to be too many knee-jerk reactions to serious problems within the code. We’re all on the outside looking in, but I wish some whistleblower in Microsoft would come forward.
bkmk
Great...prior gen computers made obsolete due to new Win11 security requirements, only to come with remote command execution flaws!
Nice job MS.
This can’t be true because Windows 11 has TPM. And TPM was to make windows 11 the most secure operating system in the world. Why do you think they want millions of people to dump their computers in the dumpster.
I understand AI is writing a lot of the Microslop code now, which may be why there are so many problems with the recent updates.
Kickbacks from the PC manufacturers?
Oh, not to worry — Microsoft has teams of crack, loyal Indian H1B and Chinese outsourced computer engineers polishing up Windows source code and keeping our computers secure.
Programmers have nothing better to do?
This weekend I was testing Linux Mint via “USB-Live” and discovered I needed to disable “Security Boot” to get Linux to boot from the USB.
Overall, Mint was a positive experience running from a USB but with its quirks - the disabling Security Boot is NOT an endearing feature.
The code got away decades ago after Windows 95. When they had the opportunity to clean up and refine it they went with building on top of it version after version until patches for updates became accepted standards. Splitting it into Home, Premium and NT merely complicated the problem.
Now Microsoft has the arrogance and gall to request users to chuck perfectly good computers because they supposedly won't run the latest Spyware version. Testing proved that most computers WILL run it if they have the storage capacity for the bloatware glommed onto it. Total betrayal of trust and disrespect for the customer base's intelligence.
I've been experimenting with a dual-boot setup where Linux Mint is primary for everything but gaming and Microsoft-specific applications. So far so good with Win10 but Win11 will purposely ruin your settings and even wipe a Linux partition while updating - so Win11 has nothing going for it at all. Keeping the Win10 partition isolated from internet interaction eliminates all risk of virus and malware contamination. Kill the Cortana and OneDrive background apps and breathe free air at last.
The Security Boot disable is to protect Microsoft's ability to counter YOUR attempt to overwrite or modify your hard drive. That's all it does so yes, disable the son of a bitch when installing another Operating System over it or setting up a Dual Boot.
Microsoft has gone off the deep end and operates as if they own all our computers now just because they've been king fish for so long. I won't tolerate such arrogance while better systems are free to everyone willing to try them. Thirty minutes with Linux Mint and you'll know Redmond plays us for fools.
Um yeah...time for better qualified people to chime in on this if they can.
It was my understanding Security Boot was a defense against malware, hackers, etc.
As an entrepreneur, I use Windows software in my business - from my website creation to business communication. It would be more than challenging to give up that part of my business...but I’m investigating Linux options.
No, like MikelTackNailer said--It's to prevent users from modifying the boot. While this may include bad actors like malware, most of it is to merely prevent modification.
Disabling SecureBoot will not harm your computer, though it *may* prevent Windows from booting up in the future. I've disabled it on all my boxes, but I don't run Windows....
