Microsoft fixed an out-of-band enrollment glitch that was blocking some Windows 10 users from joining the Consumer Extended Security Update program, preventing them from claiming an extra year of updates. The issue mattered because it interfered with access to security fixes after Windows 10 reached end of support. Microsoft said users should install KB5071959 to clear the enrollment problem and then apply follow-on updates such as KB5068781.
