Overview

KB5061018 is a Monthly Rollup update for Windows Server 2012 R2 released on June 10, 2025. This is an Extended Security Update (ESU) that includes security improvements and fixes from the previous update KB5058403 released in May 2025. The update is part of the ongoing ESU program for Windows Server 2012 R2, which reached end of mainstream support in October 2023 but continues to receive security updates through October 2026 for customers who have purchased ESU licenses.

General Purpose

This cumulative security update provides important security improvements to internal Windows OS functionality. The update addresses vulnerabilities and includes fixes from the previous month's security update KB5058403. It is designed to help protect Windows Server 2012 R2 systems that are enrolled in the Extended Security Update program. The update focuses on maintaining system security and stability for organizations that continue to run Windows Server 2012 R2 infrastructure.

General Sentiment

The general sentiment towards this update appears to be neutral to positive. As an ESU update, it is primarily focused on security improvements without introducing major changes that could impact system stability. However, there is a noted installation consideration for Azure Arc-enabled devices running Windows Server 2012 R2, where additional steps may be needed to ensure successful deployment. Organizations should ensure they have the latest Servicing Stack Update (SSU) installed before attempting to install this update.

Known Issues

• The latest Servicing Stack Update (KB5058529) must be installed before this update can be installed
