Windows 11 Patch KB5132061 was installed on 11/10/2026 and it broke my macros on WordPerfect X8. I uninstalled the Patch and it started working again. I'm reporting this issue.

    Hi Stephen P. Reid,

    I understand how disruptive this can be, especially when your macros are part of your regular workflow. The fact that they worked again immediately after KB5132061 was removed is useful evidence for both Microsoft and Corel.

    In addition to the Feedback Hub report described in the AI answer, please consider opening a case with Corel Support and providing the exact WordPerfect X8 build, the affected macro behavior, and your Windows version and OS build. WordPerfect X8 was originally documented for Windows 10 and earlier, so Corel may need to determine whether an application update or compatibility workaround is available.

    Because KB5132061 contains security updates, keeping it uninstalled indefinitely is not recommended. You can follow Microsoft’s official KB5132061 page for any updated guidance. Thank you so much for your understanding.

    Submit this as a Problem in Feedback Hub, including the successful uninstall comparison and exact WordPerfect macro symptoms so Microsoft receives the report with the relevant device and update data.

    Submit the compatibility report

    1. Press Windows key + F to open Feedback Hub.
    2. Select Report a problem.
    3. Use a searchable title such as:
      KB5132061 breaks WordPerfect Office X8 macros on Windows 11
    4. Include these details:
      • Windows 11 version and OS build, shown under Settings → System → About.
      • WordPerfect X8’s complete version/build from its Help → About page.
      • KB5132061 installation date: November 10, 2026.
      • What happens when a macro runs, including the exact error text or whether nothing happens.
      • Whether all macros or only particular macros are affected.
      • Minimal reproduction steps and the expected result.
      • The isolation result: macros failed with KB5132061 installed and worked again after that update was removed.
    5. Mark it as a Problem, verify the automatically selected category, and choose the closest Windows Update or application-compatibility category available.
    6. Search for matching feedback. If an equivalent report exists, link to or upvote it; otherwise select Make new bug.
    7. Attach screenshots or a small non-confidential sample macro if appropriate. Select Save a local copy of diagnostics and attachments for your records, then submit. Feedback Hub can attach files, screenshots, and diagnostic recordings to a report.^1^

    Do not reinstall the update solely to make a recording. KB5132061 is a cumulative security update, so remaining without it carries security risk. If you later reproduce the failure after Windows offers the update again, use Recreate my problem → Start recording, run the smallest safe macro test, stop recording, and submit the diagnostics.^1^

    Current published status

    KB5132061 applies to Windows 11 versions 24H2, 25H2, and 26H2 and installs OS builds 26100.9974, 26200.9974, or 26300.9974. Its published release notes currently say Microsoft is not aware of any issues with the update; WordPerfect X8 macro failures are not listed.^2^

    That does not invalidate the observed before-and-after result; it means the behavior has not yet been published as a confirmed Windows known issue. Because WordPerfect is third-party software, also report the compatibility regression to Corel and include its published WordPerfect X8 system requirements with the case.^3^

    Keep the Feedback Hub report link and local diagnostic copy. Other affected users can upvote the same report, which is more useful than creating several disconnected reports.
