    • [Authentication] This update addresses an issue affecting machine password rotation in the Identity Update Manager certificate/Pre-Bootstrapping Key Initialization path.

The feature Machine Accounts in Credential Gurad, which is dependent on password rotation via Kerberos, has also been disabled, until a permanent fix is made available.

    Known issues

      Applies to Symptom Workaround
    Roblox All users

    We’re aware of an issue where players on Arm devices are unable to download and play Roblox from the Microsoft Store on Windows.

     

    Roblox is working on a resolution to address this issue. Please refer to the Roblox support site for updates. Until the resolution is available, players on Arm devices can play Roblox by downloading the title directly from www.Roblox.com.

    Citrix All users Devices that have certain Citrix components installed might be unable to complete installation of the January 2025 Windows security update. This issue was observed on devices with Citrix Session Recording Agent (SRA) version 2411. The 2411 version of this application was released in December 2024.

    Affected devices might initially download and apply the January 2025 Windows security update correctly, such as via the Windows Update page in Settings. However, when restarting the device to complete the update installation, an error message with text similar to “Something didn’t go as planned. No need to worry – undoing changes” appears. The device will then revert to the Windows updates previously present on the device.

    This issue likely affects a limited number of organizations as version 2411 of the SRA application is a new version. Home users are not expected to be affected by this issue.

    Citrix has documented this issue, including a workaround, which can be performed prior to installing the January 2025 Windows security update. For details, see Citrix’s documentation.

     

    Microsoft is working with Citrix to address this issue and will update this documentation once a resolution is available.

     

    Windows Hello All users

    We're aware of an edge case of Windows Hello issue affecting devices with specific security features enabled. After installing this update and performing a Push button reset or Reset this PC from Settings > System > Recovery and selecting Keep my Files and Local install, some users might be unable to login to their Windows services using Windows Hello facial recognition or PIN. Users might observe a Windows Hello Message saying "Something happened and your PIN isn't available. Click to set up your PIN again" or "Sorry something went wrong with face setup".

     

    Note: This issue only affects devices where System Guard Secure Launch or Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement (DRTM) feature is enabled after installing this update. Devices with Secure Launch or DRTM enabled prior to this update, or those with these features disabled, are not impacted by this issue.

    • To login using PIN, follow the Set my PIN prompt on the logon screen to re-enroll into Windows Hello.
    • To use Face Logon, re-enroll in Windows Hello Facial recognition go to Settings > Accounts > Sign-in options > Facial recognition (Windows Hello), and select Set up. Follow the on-screen instructions.
