Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5046908) - 26100.2160​

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​

Applies toSymptomWorkaround
All usersWe’re aware of an issue where players on Arm devices are unable to download and play Roblox via the Microsoft Store on Windows.Players on Arm devices can play Roblox by downloading the title directly from www.Roblox.com.
All usersAfter installing this update, users will encounter an issue where the number of Apps, Background Processes, and Windows Processes in Task Manager display a count of zero, despite having active applications running. This issue appears specifically on the Processes page when the "Group by Type" view is enabled.

Normally, Task Manager displays the count of processes next to each group name (e.g., Apps, Background processes), providing users with a quick view of active processes. However, due to this issue, Task Manager instead shows (0) for each group, regardless of the actual number of running processes.

We are working on a resolution and will provide more information when it is available.
All usersFollowing the installation of the October 2024 security update, some customers report that the OpenSSH (Open Secure Shell) service fails to start, preventing SSH connections. The service fails with no detailed logging, and manual intervention is required to run the sshd.exe process.

This issue is affecting both enterprise, IOT, and education customers, with a limited number of devices impacted. Microsoft is investigating whether consumer customers using Home or Pro editions of Windows are affected. 		Customers can temporarily resolve the issue by updating permissions (ACLs) on the affected directories. Follow these steps:
  1. Open PowerShell as an Administrator.
  2. Update the permissions for C:\ProgramData\ssh and C:\ProgramData\ssh\logs to allow full control for SYSTEM and the Administrators group, while allowing read access for Authenticated Users. You can restrict read access to specific users or groups by modifying the permissions string if needed.

    Use the following commands to update the permissions:
    $directoryPath = "C:\ProgramData\ssh" $acl = Get-Acl -Path $directoryPath $sddlString = "O:BAD:PAI(A;OICI;FA;;;SY)(A;OICI;FA;;;BA)(A;OICI;0x1200a9;;;AU)" $securityDescriptor = New-Object System.Security.AccessControl.RawSecurityDescriptor $sddlString $acl.SetSecurityDescriptorSddlForm($securityDescriptor.GetSddlForm("All")) Set-Acl -Path $directoryPath -AclObject $acl
  3. Repeat the above steps for C:\ProgramData\ssh\logs.
Microsoft is actively investigating the issue and will provide a resolution in an upcoming Windows update. Further communications will be provided when a resolution or additional workarounds are available.

How to get this update​

Before you install 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

To install this update, use one of the following Windows and Microsoft release channels.

AvailableNext Step
Yes (Windows Update)Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. In the Optional updates available area, you will find the link to download and install the update.
Yes (MSU)Before you install this update
To get the standalone package(s) for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website. This KB contains one or more MSU files that must be installed in order.

Install this update
Method 1: Install all MSU files together
Download all MSU files for KB5044384 from Microsoft Update Catalog and place them in the same folder (for example, C:/Packages). Use Deployment Image Servicing and Management (DISM.exe) to install the target update. DISM will use the folder specified in PackagePath to discover and install one or more prerequisite MSU files as needed.

Updating Windows PC
To apply this update to a running Windows PC, run the following command from an elevated Command Prompt:

DISM /Online /Add-Package /PackagePath:c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5044384-x64.msu

Or, run the following command from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:

Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5044384-x64.msu"

Updating Windows Installation media
To apply this update to Windows Installation media, see Update Windows installation media with Dynamic Update.

To add this update to a mounted image, run the following command from an elevated Command Prompt:

DISM /Image:mountdir /Add-Package /PackagePath:Windows11.0-KB5044384-x64.msu

Or, run the following command from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:

Add-WindowsPackage -Path "c:\offline" -PackagePath "Windows11.0-KB5044384-x64.msu" -PreventPending

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

For a list of the files that are provided in this update, download the file information for cumulative update 5044384.

For a list of the files that are provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU (KB5046908) - version 26100.2160.

What is the deal with these "Preview" updates? Why are they being pushed to me and how can I opt out of not getting auto installed? I prefer stability over the latest features.

The Previews are better than the originals, in the case of 24H2! Release Preview's ironically better than the normal updates.
Because you get the bug fixes faster!

@MeD0,
Glad you got it to work, where did you get the AppxBundle file from?

The only difference is the ISO you used for the clean install. 😎🤷‍♂️
Or perhaps you did not check for updates in MS Store?
I can sign in fine with the same exact version of Widgets and Build 26100.2161.
This one is on my public build (non-insider). 😉

I got it from store.rg-adguard,,
you can copy the following link in the search box
apps.microsoft.com

Windows Web Experience Pack - Microsoft Apps

Windows Web Experience Pack
apps.microsoft.com
and Select Fast from the drop-down list and click on the check mark button
In the list that appears, you can see all AppxBundle file of MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience

As for the ISO file used in the clean installation,
I downloaded it from the official Microsoft website, which you previously placed.

I got it from Microsoft, the official 24H2 ISO 26100.1742. Download the Media Creation Tool and build the ISO and/or the USB installation media.


There are 2 other options too on the MS site, but if you download the ISO directly (third option showing below) it may have an install.wim that is too big to save on a FAT32 media and you would have to split the install.wim into install.swm and install2.swm before it can be stored directly on a FAT32 media.
Up to you, just follow the instructions for the second option below. 😉

@MeD0,
Weird that it gives me the option to install from here, when I know that it is already installed. 😵‍💫
If I click Install it opens the Store and finds out it is already installed. 🤣🤣

Anyway, I have no problem signing in. It opens the sign in windows and let me pick the MS account. 👍

Guys I'm not following all the back and forth about the Widgets, but if you want to make sure you have the right version, open PowerShell and run

winget uninstall MicrosoftWindows.Client.WebExperience_cw5n1h2txyewy

Then go to Windows Web Experience Pack - Microsoft Apps and click install to trigger MS Store, it will show the right version for you.

Widgets is an evil brainwashing technique, forcing you to adhere to Microsoft's point of view.
They didn't even use methods this sick and twisted, during the Cold War.

Microsoft zombie.png





Not only do I not use Widgets....

I hung garlic around their necks, staked their hearts, left them out in the sunshine, shot them with silver bullets,
beat them with an ugly stick and took their lunch money. :D

I kilt the Widget Man. o_O

I know how to pause updates my point was that this preview is being pushed out by Microsoft when normally previews are optional updates that you have to click on for the update to download.
