Windows 11 servicing stack update - 22621.378​

This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates.

Known issues in this update​

Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update.

How to get this update​

Before installing this update

Microsoft combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions.

Install this update

Release ChannelAvailableNext Step
Windows Update or Microsoft UpdateYesGo to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. In the Optional updates available area, you’ll find the link to download and install the update.
Windows Update for BusinessNoNone. These changes will be included in the next security update to this channel.
Microsoft Update CatalogYesTo get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)NoYou can import this update into WSUS manually. See the Microsoft Update Catalog for instructions.

If you want to remove the LCU

To remove the LCU after installing the combined SSU and LCU package, use the DISM/Remove-Package command line option with the LCU package name as the argument. You can find the package name by using this command: DISM /online /get-packages.

Running Windows Update Standalone Installer (wusa.exe) with the /uninstall switch on the combined package will not work because the combined package contains the SSU. You cannot remove the SSU from the system after installation.

File information

OK. So this whole thing about the right-click Task Manager option on this CU appears to be an invented problem. There is no official MS statement anywhere saying it should be in this CU.

It's ok for you and others to do as you are doing, it's your machine, but I'm going to stop chasing a non-problem. It does appear in the Dev channel Insider release as a test, so it may make it's way to public some day.

thanks for your time.
I am on the same road. I never force Windows to reveal an insider feature for me, I don't like that (I am not an insider and always use the Stable/Official version). But the channel I mentioned (if you like, I can name it here), is excellent for Win 11 update news. He gets his news directly from Microsoft's official documents. Because of that, I had a try to implement by Reg hack!

You can send it to him via PM instead if you like since this would be promotional.

are you saying you did not have it after the update?
I did not have it on any of my W11 PCs that got the 22H2 Update. All my machines, supported devices or not, were offered 22H2 in Windows Update after clicking 'Check for updates'. I have not seen anyone report that they got it by default, only reports from those who say they could turn it on in the registry.
Were you expecting it?
The release notes say so, but I suspect that was in error. AFAIK only the Dev Channel builds have seen it so far....

I did that once (sharing YT link here). I don't like to promote a commercial thing, at all (actually I hate that). I don't know him (the channel owner), just following his videos cause he is a Win 11 enthusiast. I think @Brink has no problem. I mean, if you like to watch his videos, I can share the link.

right-click Task Manager option.
I have the registry entry but but when right clicking on the taskbar, nothing had changed....
then I went into Personalisation -Taskbar and other system tray icons and enabled task manager.
Rebooted and now right click on taskbar gives the task manager option.

Nowhere..... now. But it did say so yesterday. We discussed at the time and I suggested it had been included in the release notes by mistake. I can't find any archived copy of the release notes before they were edited though.
Thanks. Kinda figured something like that had happened because I re-read the release 4-5 times. :wink:

My mistake. It was not the release notes after all, but it says it would be in this CU here....

Today, we are excited to announce the availability of new features in Windows 11 along with some exciting new experiences to help you be your most productive and creative,...

Taskbar Overflow and easy access to Task Manager:
....when you right click on the taskbar, in addition to Taskbar Settings, you will also see an option to jump directly into your Task Manager.

...These new features and experiences will start to become available today in an optional non-security preview release...

Ah! Separate MS PR. It's not like MS to publish incongruous statements! :giggle:

Maybe this will shed a little light on the "is it or not" Task Manager right-click.

If you go to the actual MS announcement which is stated as the source for the post in Bree's link, you find the "fine print".


Taskbar Overflow and easy access to Task Manager1:

1Timing of feature delivery varies by device. Feature availability may vary by market.

It's a hit or miss depending on the conditions you meet of their criteria of your device and/or where you live.

So....................... :clap:

My brain must be a bit fogged up today. Perhaps someone could explain what the point of this additional option would be, when you can already right click on the Task Bar (Start Button) and immediately launch Task Manager.

Or good 'ole ctrl-shift-esc. MS said it was/will be included due to user feedback.

IMO, no point at all. Falls into the category of "We'll do it because we can".

Because it was there in every version of windows 10 and the majority have got used to just right-clicking anywhere on the Taskbar to get it. It's been recommended so often in so many places that by now it must be the most frequently used way to get Task Manager. Even Brink says to do so in Option Two of his tutorial.
