General Sentiment
The general sentiment towards this update is cautiously optimistic. While it includes critical security fixes and performance enhancements, there are known issues that could potentially disrupt specific functionalities, such as PSDirect connections in hotpatched devices and SMBv1 protocol connectivity. Users are advised to be aware of these issues and apply recommended workarounds.
Known Issues
- PSDirect connections failing in hotpatched devices: This issue affects hotpatched devices that have installed the September 2025 Hotpatch update (KB5065306) or the September 2025 security update (KB5065432). These devices may experience failures with PowerShell Direct (PSDirect) connections when the host and guest virtual machines (VMs) are both not fully updated.
- SMBv1 protocol connectivity: After installing the update, you might fail to connect to shared files and folders using the Server Message Block (SMB) v1 protocol on NetBIOS over TCP/IP (NetBT). This issue can occur if either the SMB client or the SMB server has the September 2025 security update installed.
