Microsoft’s Sneaky Logon Logs: The Audit That Wasn’t There!
Microsoft has released out-of-band Windows updates to address inconsistent audit logon policies in Active Directory Group Policy. These updates are for Windows 11, Windows 10, and Windows Server versions. While the updates are crucial for enterprises, home users can breathe easy—your cat’s logon attempts remain safe and unmonitored.

Hot Take:
Looks like Microsoft’s new updates are taking the phrase “log on and log off” to a whole new level of confusion, but hey, who doesn’t love a good old-fashioned game of “Where’s Waldo” with their audit logs? Just remember, folks, it’s not a bug, it’s a feature… or at least it is until the update kicks in!
Key Points:
- Microsoft released out-of-band updates to fix audit logon policy issues in Active Directory Group Policy.
- The issue affects local audit logon policies which might report inconsistencies.
- Updates are available for several Windows and Windows Server versions, but not aimed at home users.
- These updates are cumulative and can be downloaded from the Microsoft Update Catalog.
- Microsoft also warned about potential inaccessibility of domain controllers after a restart.
