General Sentiment

Community discussion around this update appears limited in the provided sources, which typically indicates a stable release with minimal reported issues. The update addresses a known Office automation compatibility issue affecting third-party applications like CCH Engagement, Workpaper Manager, and dental software, though Microsoft notes this was resolved in later July 2026 updates. The inclusion of multiple reliability and performance improvements suggests generally positive reception, though early adopters should be aware of the Office application launch issue if using affected third-party software.

Known Issues

• Microsoft Office applications might fail to open from certain third-party applications using OLE automation (affects Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Access when launched from CCH Engagement, Workpaper Manager, Dentrix, Softdent, Zotero, and similar apps) - resolved in KB5101649 (July 14, 2026)
• Recycle Bin confirmation dialog might display internal file names instead of original file names when permanently deleting files (introduced by KB5095051)
• GIF service unavailable in Emoji panel if update not installed by June 30, 2026 (due to Tenor API deprecation)
