We explore a severe security flaw linked to Intel Trusted Execution Technology (TXT) on specific 10th gen or later Intel vPro processors. This vulnerability could unexpectedly terminate the Local Security Authority Subsystem Service (LSASS), leading to major authentication failures and system instability.

We also cover the bundled latest servicing stack update (SSU) aimed at boosting the reliability of the entire Windows update pipeline – essential as Windows 10 nears its end-of-life. Plus, get the details on a known issue affecting Noto fonts (CJK text display) in Chromium browsers like Edge and Chrome at 96 DPI, and the all-important deployment guidance: this update is exclusively available via the Microsoft Update Catalog.
