KB5085516


Microsoft has released an out-of-band cumulative update KB5085516 for Windows 11 25H2 (2025 Update), which fixes a critical issue with signing into apps using a Microsoft account, including Teams, Edge, OneDrive, and Copilot. This cumulative package (build 26200.8039) is intended for Windows 11 25H2 (Windows 11 2025 Update) on x64 (amd64) and ARM64 processors and resolves bugs discovered after installing the previous update KB5079473 from March 10, 2026.

No known issues are reported for the current KB5085516 release at the time of publication, but Microsoft recommends carefully monitoring the system after installation, as the update is out-of-band and addresses the consequences of the previous patch.

Update KB5085516 is distributed via Windows Update for devices with Windows 11 that already have update KB5079473 installed. If you installed previous updates, only the new updates contained in this package will be downloaded and installed.

For automatic installation via Windows Update, go to Settings > Windows Update and click Check for updates. The package is also available for manual download from the Microsoft Update Catalog for users who prefer offline installation.
