Highlights

Gradual rollout

These might not be available to all users because they will roll out gradually.
  • [Taskbar] New! This update improves the previews that show when your cursor hovers over apps on the taskbar. The update also improves their animations.
  • [Windows Studio Effects] New! An icon will appear in the system tray when you use an app that supports Windows Studio Effects. This only occurs on a device that has a neural processing unit (NPU). Select the icon to open the Studio Effects page in Quick Settings. To view the app that is using the camera, hover over the icon for a tooltip.

  • [Fonts] New! This update adds Simsun-ExtG, a new simplified Chinese font. It includes the Biangbiang noodles character. Some apps might not be able to display these new extension characters yet. The font has 9,753 ideographs that support Unicode Extensions G, H, and I. See the list below.
    • Unicode range G 30000-3134A (4,939 chars)
    • Unicode range H 31350-323AF (4,192 chars)
    • Unicode range I 2EBF0-2EE5D (622 chars)
  • [File Explorer]
    • New! When you right-click items in the left pane, the “New Folder” command appears on the context menu.

    • Fixed: After you do a search, that search might repeat when you don’t want it to.
    • Fixed: The date and time properties of a file might update after you copy it.
    • Fixed: Icons on the details pane might not update as you expect when you change a theme. This makes it hard to view the change when you switch between dark and light themes.
    • Fixed: The search box might lose input focus as you type.
  • [Settings] New! You can change time zones in Settings > Time & Language > Date & Time. You don’t have to be an admin to make this change.

    • Fixed: The mouse cursor might disappear. This occurs when you hover over text fields in certain applications.
    • Fixed: If you turn on pointer trails, the mouse cursor becomes transparent, and a black box appears behind it.
    • Fixed: The mouse cursor might stutter when it moves across the screen. This occurs even when the system is not using a lot of resources.
  • [Pinyin Input Method Editor (IME)] Fixed: When you switch app windows, the IME language might change from Chinese to English.
  • [Snipping Tool] Fixed: Snipping Tool screenshots might be distorted. This occurs when you use two or more monitors that have different display scaling.
  • [Microsoft Excel 2016] Fixed: When you open certain files, Excel opens, but the screen might remain on the loading screen.

Normal rollout

  • [High dynamic range (HDR)] Fixed: The display of some games appears oversaturated. This occurs when you use Auto HDR.
  • [Digital/Analog converter (DAC) (known issue)] Fixed: You might experience issues with USB audio devices. This is more likely when you use a DAC audio driver based on USB 1.0. USB audio devices might stop working, which stops playback.
  • [USB audio device drivers] Fixed: The code 10 error message, “This device cannot start” appears. This occurs when you connect to certain external audio management devices.
  • [Chinese Pinyin input method editor (IME)] Bing will stop giving automatic suggestions in the search box for search engine sites, like Baidu. To get manual suggestions, use Ctrl+Tab or the chevron button (>).
  • [USB cameras] Fixed: Your device does not recognize the camera is on. This issue occurs after you install the January 2025 security update.
  • [Passkey] Fixed: This update removes the one-minute timeout when you use a passkey on a phone.

Improvements

This non-security update includes quality improvements. Below is a summary of the key issues that this update addresses when you install this KB. If there are new features, it lists them as well. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change we are documenting.

Gradual rollout

These might not be available to all users because they will roll out gradually.
  • [Domains] Fixed: A device might fail to join a domain.
  • [Task Manager] Fixed: It takes too long to close after you close the app.
  • [Dam.sys] Fixed: A watchdog timeout error might occur when your PC resumes from sleep.
  • [Windows update installation] Fixed: Cumulative updates might not install. The error code is 0x800736b3. This occurs after a feature on demand fails to install.

Normal rollout

  • [Memory leak] Fixed: Leaks occur when predictive input ideas show.
  • [Windows Kernel Vulnerable Driver Blocklist file (DriverSiPolicy.p7b)] This update adds to the list of drivers that are at risk for Bring Your Own Vulnerable Driver (BYOVD) attacks.
  • [Remote Desktop Gateway] Fixed: You get errors or cannot sign when you connect to Windows 11 workstations. This occurs when you enforce device redirection.
If you installed earlier updates, only the new updates contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.

Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5050108) - 26100.3023

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. To learn more about SSUs, see Simplifying on-premises deployment of servicing stack 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 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.
IT adminsDevices that have certain Citrix components installed might be unable to complete installation of the January 2025 Windows security update. This issue was observed on devices with Citrix Session Recording Agent (SRA) version 2411. The 2411 version of this application was released in December 2024.

Affected devices might initially download and apply the January 2025 Windows security update correctly, such as via the Windows Update page in Settings. However, when restarting the device to complete the update installation, an error message with text similar to “Something didn’t go as planned. No need to worry – undoing changes” appears. The device will then revert to the Windows updates previously present on the device.

This issue likely affects a limited number of organizations as version 2411 of the SRA application is a new version. Home users are not expected to be affected by this issue.
Citrix has documented this issue, including a workaround, which can be performed prior to installing the January 2025 Windows security update. For details, see Citrix’s documentation.

Microsoft is working with Citrix to address this issue and will update this documentation once a resolution is 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.[/B]

AvailableNext Step
YesGo to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. In the Optional updates available area, you will find the link to download and install the update.
YesBefore 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 KB5050094 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-KB5050094-x64.msu

Or, run the following command from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:
Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5050094-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-KB5050094-x64.msu

Or, run the following command from an elevated Windows PowerShell prompt:
Add-WindowsPackage -Path "c:\offline" -PackagePath "Windows11.0-KB5050094-x64.msu" -PreventPending

Method 2: Install each MSU file individually in order
Download and install each MSU file individually using DISM or Windows Update Standalone Installer in the following order:
  1. windows11.0-kb5043080-x64_953449672073f8fb99badb4cc6d5d7849b9c83e8.msu
  2. windows11.0-kb5050094-x64_3d5a5f9ef20fc35cc1bd2ccb08921ee8713ce622.msu

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 5050094.

For a list of the files that are provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU (K5050108) - version 26100.3023.

I listed the RDP reconnection problems I was having with 26100.3025 here.

With 26100.3037, these problems seem to be mostly resolved. There are still some "stuck lock screen background" occurrences when reconnecting, but a 2nd attempt has been reconnecting successfully.

I'm still having the chronic RDP reconnection issues with a computer in the vSphere environment. I'm going to experiment with some different VMs in that environment with different builds, to see if this issue is specific to just "mine."

It is a gaming PC.
KB5043080 is a checkpoint update that takes you to build 1742. You only need this if your system is on a build lower than 1742.

Thanks, I figured that out after looking up KB5046080. Why do the instructions say to install KB5043080 prior to KB5050094?
Typo on their end?

Could it be that microsoft is fixing something so it doesn't show up in Windows Update?

Typo on their end?

Nope, no error. I guess that they could be a little clearer and say to install KB5043080 first IF you are on a build earlier than 1742. But, my guess is that 90%+ of people will just let Windows update do it for them. It's only us geeks who insist on doing things differently that will need to worry about this :-)

I updated thru WU (last night when it was there), and thru the catalog .MSU. Each time
Dism.exe /Online /Cleanup-Image /RestoreHealth
would stay at 62.3% and was downloading GBs of data to the Software Distribution/Download folder. Each time I killed it. Restored my MR backup and called it quits till MS re-issues it, if they do.

Same results on a separate Win 11 machine.

I listed the RDP reconnection problems I was having with 26100.3025 here.

With 26100.3037, these problems seem to be mostly resolved. There are still some "stuck lock screen background" occurrences when reconnecting, but a 2nd attempt has been reconnecting successfully.

I'm still having the chronic RDP reconnection issues with a computer in the vSphere environment. I'm going to experiment with some different VMs in that environment with different builds, to see if this issue is specific to just "mine."

I spoke too soon on this; the same problem is back with the VM in Azure, having to restart it before an RDP session will work again.

Both of my PCs have been offered the update this evening - it was not available this afternoon. Downloading on the laptop now. The desktop has completed its update and everything appears normal. (Although the 3 dot problem still exists on the desktop.)
Thanks. I'll try it on my test machine. Hope it doesn't puke on DISM like before.

I have that turned on in all machines, the update came down fine yesterday on four machines, but not on the last 2 that I tried to update later last night and today.
Seems like MS may have pulled back this update. 😵‍💫🤷‍♂️
Had to download from the MS Catalog and update offline on the last 2 machines. 🤬

It's only us geeks who insist on doing things differently that will need to worry about this :-)

LOL! I went the catalog route because it didn't show up for me on WU, on both my machines.
Seems to be the case with a lot of members here as well.
