Microsoft released KB5068781 as the first Windows 10 ESU security update after end of support, delivering a mandatory patch for enrolled systems. The release fixes 63 flaws, including one actively exploited elevation-of-privilege vulnerability, so it closes an urgent exposure window for supported legacy devices.
