IT Services would like to inform those who manage departmental and research-based servers that a recent server update, KB5044284, is mislabeled as a security patch when the update is actually a full OS update to Windows Server 2025. Desktops and laptops that run Windows 10 and Windows 11 are not affected by this update.

Anyone managing departmental and research-based servers is asked to review release information concerning this update before applying it.
Microsoft has not officially acknowledged this problem, but online discussion forums have been reporting the issue.

This notification will be updated when more information is available.
