To help protect the security of the Windows operating system, updates were previously signed (using both the SHA-1 and SHA-2 hash algorithms). The signatures are used to authenticate that the updates come directly from Microsoft and were not tampered with during delivery. Because of weaknesses in the SHA-1 algorithm and to align to industry standards, we have changed the signing of Windows updates to use the more secure SHA-2 algorithm exclusively. This change was done in phases starting in April 2019 through September 2019 to allow for smooth migration (see the "Product update schedule" section for more details on the changes).

Customers who run legacy OS versions (Windows 7 SP1, Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 SP2) are required to have SHA-2 code signing support installed on their devices to install updates released on or after July 2019. Any devices without SHA-2 support will not be able to install Windows updates on or after July 2019. To help prepare you for this change, we released support for SHA-2 signing in starting March 2019 and have made incremental improvements. Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) 3.0 SP2 will receive SHA-2 support to securely deliver SHA-2 signed updates. Please see the "Product update schedule" section for the SHA-2 only migration timeline.

Starting in early 2019, the migration process to SHA-2 support began in stages, and support will be delivered in standalone updates. Microsoft is targeting the following schedule to offer SHA-2 support. Please note that the following timeline is subject to change. We will continue to update this page as needed.

Stand Alone update, KB4484071 is available on Windows Update Catalog for WSUS 3.0 SP2 that supports delivering SHA-2 signed updates. For those customers using WSUS 3.0 SP2, this update should be manually installed no later than June 18, 2019.

The MS Patch Qualification team now consumes the Monthly Rollup that includes both Security and Feature updates. Beginning in October 2016 Microsoft began offering security patches only in rollups. They publish Security-only updates which have only the security patches, and a Monthly Rollup which includes all security and feature updates. 2b1af7f3a8
