On April 14th 2026, Microsoft released KB updates that conflict with Netwrix Threat Prevention (formerly StealthINTERCEPT) agents.
If these KBs are applied before updating the agents, certain Kerberos Authentication and LDAP Bind events will no longer be captured or blocked.

Netwrix recommends delaying the deployment of these KBs if your organization relies on these event types. The Netwrix development and QA teams are working on updated agents compatible with these KBs and will send another notice when they are available.
