Non-admins might receive unexpected UAC prompts when doing MSI repair operations

A security improvement was included in the August 2025 Windows security update (KB5063875) and later updates to enforce the requirement that User Account Control (UAC) prompt for administrator credentials when performing Windows Installer (MSI) repair and related operations. This improvement addressed security vulnerability CVE-2025-50173.

As a result, after installing the August 2025 Windows security update and later updates, UAC prompts for administrator rights can appear for standard users in the following scenarios:

• ​Running MSI repair commands (such as msiexec /fu).
• ​Launching Autodesk applications, including some versions of AutoCAD, Civil 3D and Inventor CAM, or when installing an MSI file after a user signs into the app for the first time.
• ​Installing applications that configure themselves per user.
• ​Running Windows Installer during Active Setup.
• ​Deploying packages via Manager Configuration Manager (ConfigMgr) that rely on user-specific "advertising" configurations.
• ​Enabling Secure Desktop.

If a standard user runs an app that initiates an MSI repair operation without displaying UI, it will fail with an error message. For example, installing and running Office Professional Plus 2010 as a standard user will fail with Error 1730 during the configuration process.

Resolution:

After installing the September 2025 Windows security update (KB5065431) or later updates, UAC prompts will only be required during MSI repair operations if the target MSI file contains an elevated custom action. 

Since UAC prompts will still be required for apps that perform custom actions, after installing this update, IT admins will have access to a workaround to disable UAC prompts for specific apps by adding MSI files to an allowlist. For details, see the KB article: Unexpected UAC prompts when running MSI repair operations after installing the August 2025 Windows security update.

A Group Policy had previously been made available from Microsoft’s Support for business using Known Issue Rollback (KIR) to work around this issue. Organizations no longer need to install and configure this Group Policy to address this issue.

Reset and recovery operations on some Windows versions might fail

After installing the August 2025 Windows security update (KB5063875) on any of the client versions mentioned below in the ‘Affected platforms’ section, attempts to reset or recover the device might fail. 

This issue happens when users perform one or more of the following processes:

1. ​System >Recovery > Reset my PC
2. ​System > Recovery > Fix problems using Windows Update
3. ​RemoteWipe CSP

Resolution:

This issue was resolved in the out-of-band (OOB) update KB5066189. If your device is impacted by this issue, we recommend installing this out-of-band update instead of KB5063875.

Since this is a cumulative update, you do not need to apply any previous update before installing KB5066189, as it supersedes all previous updates for affected versions. This update does not contain any additional security updates from those available in the August 2025 security update. Installation of this OOB will require a device restart. If your organization uses the affected platforms and hasn’t yet deployed the August 2025 security update yet, we recommend you apply this OOB update instead. To install this update, follow the steps under How to get this update in KB5066189.

Affected platforms:

• ​Client: Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021; Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2019
• ​Server: None

Upgrades to some versions of Windows might fail with error 0x8007007F

Starting August 12, 2025, some Windows upgrades might fail with error code ‘0x8007007F’ when performed via ‘Windows Setup > Upgrade’ installation. This issue affects both client and server platforms under specific upgrade paths.

Client upgrade paths affected:

• ​Upgrades from Windows 10, version 1809, Windows 10, version 21H2 and Windows 10, version 22H2 to Windows 11, versions 23H2 and 22H2

• ​Upgrades from Windows Server 2016 to Windows Server 2019 or Windows Server 2022
• ​Upgrades from Windows Server 2019 to Windows Server 2022

Note: Upgrades to Windows 11, 24H2 and Windows Server 2025 are not affected by this issue

Resolution: This issue was resolved as of August 15, 2025. Devices upgraded after this date should no longer encounter this error. If you do experience error ‘0x8007007F’, retrying the upgrade process will typically resolve the issue.

Affected platforms:

• ​Client: Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 11, version 22H2
• ​Server: Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019

Parental consent may not show for some browser versions with web filtering on

Certain laws require Microsoft to protect children from harmful and illegal content on the internet. Microsoft is committed to creating tools for parents and guardians to help them in guiding their children’s digital experiences and protect them from harmful and illegal online content.

One of the available tools is web filtering, which lets a parent or guardian filter websites. Currently, Microsoft Edge is the only supported browser that provides this functionality within Microsoft Family Safety, allowing Edge to be used by default on the child’s device after web filtering is enabled. Once web filtering is enabled, a parent or guardian needs to approve other unsupported browsers (any browser other than Edge) before they can be used. This helps parents understand that different settings apply to other browsers when it comes to blocking inappropriate websites and filtering search results for their children.

The blocking behavior continues to work for unsupported browsers, however, when unsupported browsers update to a new version, the latest version of the browser cannot be blocked until we add it to the block list. Microsoft is currently adding the latest versions of unsupported browsers, to the block list. As a result, some browsers may temporarily appear unblocked during this update process. We're actively working to ensure all latest versions of browsers are blocked, reinforcing our commitment to parents and guardians.

As Microsoft continues to update the block list, we’ve received reports of a new issue affecting Google Chrome and some browsers. When children try to open these browsers, they shut down unexpectedly. However, the standard workflow is to prompt a parental approval message stating, “You’ll need to ask to use this app”. Once the approval is consented, the browser operates as intended. This issue is only observed when the Activity reporting feature is turned off.

Workaround: The browser shutdown issue can be temporarily mitigated by turning on Activity reporting under Windows settings in Family Safety. Parents will then be able to receive approval requests as expected.

Resolution:

• ​Temporary access to unsupported browsers: As of June 25, 2025, Microsoft included the latest versions of unsupported browsers into the Family Safety’s feature, and they are now blocked as intended. However, new versions of unsupported browsers released after this date might temporarily appear unblocked. This temporary gap will be resolved in the future, and this documentation will be updated to inform you when the full resolution is available.
• ​Missing parental consent prompt: Fixed in the July non-security preview update (KB5062663), released July 22, 2025. The fix is gradually rolling out and will be automatically enabled on devices with KB5062663 installed or later updates.

Affected platforms:

• ​Client: Windows 11, version 24H2; Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 22H2
• ​Server: None
