Highlights

Note: 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.
  • [Notifications] New! You can now stop the suggestions to turn off notifications from certain apps. Select the ellipses (…) in the notification and turn it off. You can also go to Settings > System > Notifications and turn it off from there. Look for “Notification Suggestions” in the senders list. An entry will only appear in the list after you receive a notification.

  • [Wi-Fi password dialog] New! The dialog now has the Windows 11 visual design. Go to Settings > Network & internet.

  • [Narrator]
    • New! This update adds a new Narrator shortcut. Press the Narrator key + Ctrl + X to copy what Narrator last spoke to the clipboard. This shortcut is useful when you want to quickly copy some content, like codes or numbers for use.
    • New! It will now auto read the contents of an email message in the new Outlook. This is like the behavior in Outlook classic.
  • [Gamepad keyboard] New! This update starts the roll out of a new Gamepad keyboard layout for the on-screen keyboard. With it, you can use your Xbox controller to move around the screen and type. Button accelerators are also available; these include the X button for backspace and the Y button for the spacebar. For better movement patterns, the keyboard keys are aligned vertically.

  • [Start menu] New! “All apps” has the new name, “All.”

  • [ALT + Tab] Fixed: The screen goes black on some PCs for a few seconds when you switch between certain windows.
  • [Scanning apps] Fixed: They don't detect certain scanners although they are connected.

Normal rollout​

  • [Web sign-in] Fixed: You cannot sign in to your account from the web because the screen stops responding.
  • [Copilot key settings] New! You can configure the Copilot key on the keyboard. On new devices, the key opens the Copilot app. If you sign in to your account using a Microsoft Entra ID, the key opens the M365 app. You can make the key open a different app or open Search. To do this, go to Settings > Personalization > Text input. To make the key open a different app, the app must be in a signed MSIX package. This ensures that the app meets security and privacy standards to keep you safe. If your PC’s keyboard does not have a Copilot key, changing this setting will do nothing.

  • [WindowsDisk Cleanup app] Fixed: After you use this app, it might show the wrong amount of disk space that you can free up in the 'Windows Update Cleanup' category.

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.
  • [Virtual hard disk (VHD/VHDx)] New! This update adds a detach virtual hard disk button to Settings. In the properties for your VHD or VHDx, go to Settings > System > Storage > Disks & Volumes. This might not be available to all users because it will roll out gradually.

  • [Networking] New! If you use the netsh wlan show networks command, it can now read SSIDs that are encoded using UTF-8. This means that Wi-Fi SSIDs that have Unicode characters (like emoji) will display properly in netsh output. This might not be available to all users because it will roll out gradually.

  • [Windows Sandbox Client Preview] New! This update adds the Windows Sandbox Client Preview. It includes:
    • Runtime clipboard redirection
    • Audio and video input control
    • The sharing of folders with the host at runtime
      To access these, select the ellipses (…) at the upper right on the app. This preview also includes a version of command-line support. (The commands might change over time). To learn more, use the wsb.exe–help command. You can find new updates for this app in the Microsoft Store. This might not be available to all users because it will roll out gradually.

  • [User interface (UI)] Fixed: You cannot view some parts of the UI when you run certain apps.
  • [HTML Applications (HTA)] Fixed: HTA optional components (OC) are now in ARM64 Windows PE.
  • [Live kernel debug files (dumps)] Fixed: win32kbase.sys creates live kernel debug files when it should not.
  • [Winlogon] Fixed: A stop error occurs during shutdown.
  • [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.
  • [sfc /scannow command] Fixed: You get errors every time you run the command.

  • [Service for User to Self (S4U2self)] Fixed: Your device might have issues using S4U2self to authenticate. This occurs if Credential Guard is off, and the device joins an Active Directory domain that does not allow the RC4 cipher.
  • [DirectAccess (known issue)] Fixed: After a clean install or an in-place upgrade to Windows 11, version 24H2, you might face issues using DirectAccess. The connection might not complete and stays in a ‘connecting’ state.
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 (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.

Could be.
An In-Place upgrade for example, has to be in the same language as the installed version of Windows.

I don't know if this carries over to include "region".

I removed my secondary language and changed the region to United States, cleared everything with disk cleanup / sfc / dism, even ran the .bat from this forum to clear WU cache (it does run but I do have some Access Denied while it's ruinning)

The WU ran different, the download took more time, went to 100%, installation also took more time, got to 100% then

[HRESULT = 0x800736b3 - ERROR_SXS_ASSEMBLY_NOT_FOUND]

🫠

Honestly... I'm almost going back to 23H2...

I would try the In-Place upgrade before you give up on 24H2.
If it doesn't help, you can always revert to 23H2.

A lot of folks use the In-Place to go from 23H2 to 24H2 for example.

But it can also be used to go from 24H2 to a "repaired" 24H2. ^^


__________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Another option would be... go back to 23H2, and then do an In-Place Upgrade to 24H2.
If you haven't done it that way already.

___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I used the In-Place to go from 23H2 to 24H2....

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 13 years?
I had a problem with this update. It screwed up a program that I use. So I did a Macrium backup to restore my c: drive. Now, Macrium will not boot the computer, saying I have no C drive. It will not let me boot, except to the K drive (my external CD drive that has the Macrium disk in it.) I have tried to edit the drive letters in Macrium, and it tells me there is no C drive. Any ideas?

Yes, that is part of the problem. It will not allow me to change the drive letter, saying C drive is not on the hard disk. When it restores drive C it relabels it as drive K. I cannot change the letter from within Macrium.

    …still on a horse.
I used the offline dism cleanup posted earlier by creating a cleanup.cmd file with text below, then booting into WinPE/RE Macrium Reflect (via boot entry), entered its C drive (bottom left hand corner C:> prompt)

Code:
DISM /Image:C:\ /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

Worked first time and cleared quite a few GB fron windows snxs folders.

I might use this rather than the online cleanup in future!

Thanks to poster of this solution.

All my devices updated to .2161 now.

I think MS broke something fixing the Windows Update cleanup in storage.

Did you check afterward with:

Code:
DISM /Image:C:\ /cleanup-image /AnalyzeComponentStore

Or once you were back in Windows input:

Code:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

I rebooted windows into WinRE (Hold Shift while selecting restart) and once in RE I selected command prompt then input:

Code:
DISM /Image:C:\ /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

It succeeded so afterward I ran:

Code:
DISM /Image:C:\ /cleanup-image /AnalyzeComponentStore

It still said this:
Number of Reclaimable Packages : 2
Component Store Cleanup Recommended : Yes

So then I ran this command:

Code:
DISM /Image:C:\ /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase

It succeeded so next I once again input:

Code:
DISM /Image:C:\ /cleanup-image /AnalyzeComponentStore

Result was still:
Number of Reclaimable Packages : 2
Component Store Cleanup Recommended : Yes

I then rebooted back into Windows and Input:
Code:
Dism /Online /Cleanup-Image /AnalyzeComponentStore

It still said:
Number of Reclaimable Packages : 2
Component Store Cleanup Recommended : Yes

Normally after cleaning up the Component Store if you analyze again it will say:
Number of Reclaimable Packages : 0
Component Store Cleanup Recommended : No

Removed the preview and Component Store cleaning works as expected.

Yes, that is part of the problem. It will not allow me to change the drive letter, saying C drive is not on the hard disk. When it restores drive C it relabels it as drive K. I cannot change the letter from within Macrium.



I made a fresh backup after updating to 26100.2161
I just restored that backup, using the Macrium bootable media... and it worked.

I made a fresh backup after updating to 26100.2161
I just restored that backup, using the Macrium bootable media... and it worked.

@magilla


I don't know how your drives are set up... but the one time Macrium couldn't do a restore (about 1.5 years ago)...
I ran Macrium's bootable media, and "deleted" all the partitions on my Windows drive, and then did the restore to the newly unallocated drive. That worked.


How far back (in time), was the Macrium backup made?

I had removed my Recovery partition long ago on Win 11. I noticed that the upgrade from 23H2 to 24H2, created a new Recovery partition.
That's why I asked... how far back was the backup you made?

I will try your suggestion! :cool:


Apparently, this also works (post #32).

Open a command prompt at boot, and enter: dism /image:Y:\ /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

Where Y is the Windows drive.



If you use Macrium and have it's bootable media... there's a command prompt in there...

That was the error I was getting till I ran DISM with the resetbase flag.

Maybe you need to try the method in post #93. It's worked for some.

Well, let's try this one too... Why not, right? :unsure:


It couldn't hoit. :D



I'm not even sure mine is completely working. It only takes a few seconds to run, but doesn't throw any errors??

And SFC still works for me... or at least it "claims" to work. 8-)

I made a fresh backup after updating to 26100.2161
I just restored that backup, using the Macrium bootable media... and it worked.
for some reason unknown to me, the C becomes K when it restores -- the other partitions containing Dev and Canary stay intact with correct drive letters.

When you upgraded to 24H2... did you use WU, or clean install or In-Place Upgrade?
