About this tag
The chpe tag on WindowsForum.com covers Microsoft's hotpatch servicing technology for Windows 11 Enterprise LTSC 2024 and Windows Server.

Discussions include specific hotpatch releases such as KB5061096 for PowerShell, KB5064010, KB5065474, and KB5066360, which address security fixes, UAC/MSI issues, and PowerShell Direct connectivity problems. The tag also covers enabling Virtualization-based Security (VBS) for hotpatch readiness, prerequisites, and operational considerations for IT teams managing hotpatch-eligible fleets. Content focuses on practical deployment, known issues, and the reboot-less servicing model.
