About this tag
KB5065429 is the Windows 10 September 2025 cumulative update, a mandatory security rollup for version 22H2. This update is significant because it arrives as Windows 10 approaches its scheduled end of support on October 14, 2025. After that date, Microsoft will stop providing free security updates for most consumer editions. KB5065429 is closely tied to Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program, which offers a paid bridge for eligible PCs to receive security patches for one additional year through October 2026. Discussions around this update focus on ESU enrollment, migration planning, and the practical risks of delayed migration for both consumer and enterprise users.
