This File explorer 3 dots context menu bug is now on this Build too. Open upwards and gets truncated if the window is close to the top of the screen.
Out to the general public too.

Interesting. I didn't see this issue in 2152 but I do have the same issue in a machine that updated to 2161. That's pretty annoying.

As I put a hold on updates past .1742, when checking today I was offered both this and the previous update. Everything went fine. I was sweating though.

Follow-up to the above post:

I just did a clean install of 2161 rather than upgrading a system and the issue is NOT present on that system.

Weird that it is just the 3 dots menu the view and filter open downwards.

Same in Dev and Canary builds. They know how to propagate the bugs but not the fixes.

Job security strategy!

Pick your game up, Microsoft. You've become a joke. We shouldn't have to go chasing bugs with each and every update. I'm tired of this. :sleepy:

It completed successfully using this command. I left it at c:\
dism /image:c:\ /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup

Do I need to do the sfc /scannow before I reboot?

By the way. Alt Key + 92 does a backslash.

I decided to run the sfc /scannow while in command prompt mode. It completed and came up with a message that said the PC needs to be rebooted to complete the process.

What is your definition of command prompt mode?

To all people here have trouble with 2161, Do clean install (will install automatically 2033) and then you see 2161 in WU.

And you will end up with the same problems.

Thanks Marcus.
I have already followed your post below. It appears to work, but once back in Windows, the tests fail.

Of course you could simply install 2161 directly saving yourself the update.

Don't hold your breath. I've clean-installed 3 of my 4 PCs and indeed the problem goes away to start with. But it comes back fairly quickly - 2 the following day, and one took 5 days but all 4 of my PCs now have the problem back.

Unfortunately it doesn't work for me (CMD on boot).

I translate:

The temporary files directory may not be large enough to perform the operation. This may cause unexpected behavior. Use the /ScatchDir switch to point to a folder with sufficient space. The recommended size is at least 1024 MB.

Also, if I try to do sfc /scannow from there, it always says there are errors and that they have been restored and will be fixed at the next reboot (as it was before this update). If I use the command inside Windows, it says there are no errors.

Is this update going to be included with media creation?

If I have windows.old files, I use a Powershell cleanup command. It disappears after reboot. Use in Admin mode.

Powershell:

<#
.SYNOPSIS
Automates the Disk Clean tool.
#>


# V2 admin check
If (-NOT ([Security.Principal.WindowsPrincipal] [Security.Principal.WindowsIdentity]::GetCurrent()).IsInRole([Security.Principal.WindowsBuiltInRole] "Administrator"))
{
    Write-Warning "Please run this script as an Administrator!"
    Exit 1
}

# Create reg keys
$volumeCaches = Get-ChildItem "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches"
foreach($key in $volumeCaches)
{
    New-ItemProperty -Path "$($key.PSPath)" -Name StateFlags0099 -Value 2 -Type DWORD -Force | Out-Null
}

# Run Disk Cleanup
Start-Process -Wait "$env:SystemRoot\System32\cleanmgr.exe" -ArgumentList "/sagerun:99"

# Delete the keys
$volumeCaches = Get-ChildItem "HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches"
foreach($key in $volumeCaches)
{
    Remove-ItemProperty -Path "$($key.PSPath)" -Name StateFlags0099 -Force | Out-Null
}

Thanks I think I am all set but I will run that anyway.

I think we're all wasting our time with this dism and sfc crap.

True, I literally reinstalled Windows 3 times and I had to remove all disks, so I had to redownload onedrive 3 times.
I will wait for an updated ISO and then I will clean install again. I have more important things to do, like Grant's.

Im getting 0x800f081f error with this update.

Applies to	Symptom	Workaround
All users	We’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 users	After 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. Enable or Disable "Group by Type" view on Processes page in Task Manager in Windows 11 This tutorial will show you how to enable or disable "Group by Type" view on the Processes page in Task Manager for your account in Windows 11. Task Manager can be used to view and manage your processes, performance statistics, app history, startup apps, users, process details, and services in... www.elevenforum.com	We are working on a resolution and will provide more information when it is available.
All users	Following 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: Open PowerShell as an Administrator. 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` 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.
