Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5049685)- 26100.2592​

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 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)None. This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update and Microsoft 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 KB5048667 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-KB

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

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-KB

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Path "c:\offline" -PackagePath "Windows11.0-KB

Method 2: Install each MSU file individually, in order

Download and install each MSU file individually either using DISM or Windows Update Standalone Installer in the following order:
  1. windows11.0-kb5043080-x64_953449672073f8fb99badb4cc6d5d7849b9c83e8.msu
  2. windows11.0-kb5048667-x64_d4ad0ca69de9a02bc356757581e0e0d6960c9f93.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 5048667 .

For a list of the files that are provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU (KB5049685) - version 26100.2592 .

The point is that the insider testing purpose is to identify the MS problems and get them fix.
Working around the bugs or ignoring them is not the solution. 😎
I'm not an insider tester and never will be. As stated, I use my computer for my photography avocation and to make my living. For what I do, I'm simply not having any problems with bugs whatsoever.

I certainly can understand that some do have problems with bugs, depending on their hardware, software, and what they do with their computers. You're apparently one of them and I can appreciate that. All I've done is state that, for what I do, I'm not in that group, and I'm not currently having any problems. :-)

I like @TraderGary do not see any issues with this latest update that stops me using my PC for day to day activities. Yeah yeah, there are some things that do NOT work as we expect, however it is NOT a war stopper. I am sure Microsoft are aware of the explorer inconvenience but I have NOT heard that it breaks a PC.
Continually flooding every new thread regarding a KB update that the "explorer" issue still exists - Note it once and move on.
Members generally interested to see if the latest update will break their system, do NOT need to read the same old story repetitively through out a single thread.

I don't have any issues with these comments. And yes, I have 24H2 on both my computers with no issues.

I do have issues with some tech media sites like Windows Latest who seem to like bashing the silly line about how full of bugs 24H2 is. There are numerous other websites doing this. Also, the people on the internet, and yes of read this stuff here who go on how bad 24H2 is and using over-emotive words. It doesn't suck, nor is it a fiasco. It is a major update to Windows 11, the biggest since it was first released in 2021.

The driver frameworks/architecture/models and much more have had a big update which I think probably explains why some are having problems. I do think that it is essential to anyone planning to upgrade to 24H2 to make sure they have a full system image backup of their current install of Windows first.

I have doubts that this is an insider build. Shawn Brink also wrote here how to switch to insider builds - Change Windows Insider Program Channel in Windows 11 / Here are screenshots of the registry 22764.1000 and 26100.2605. By the way, I am not registered in the Windows Pre-Evaluation Program on build 26100.2605.
I said it was released to both Insider R.P. and general public.
You just ignored what I said. 😂🤷‍♂️
From my reply to you earlier:
"In this case 26100.2605 is released to Insider Release Preview channel and also to the general public."

I didn't ignore anything. To my clear question about 26100.2605 about insider trading, a clear answer was given: It sure is. And to guess what you meant, I'm not a psychic. You also clarified this later about the Release Preview.

I have "3 Dot Problem" on both my 7 year old AMD desktop and my shiny new Co-pilot+ laptop - both with this latest cumulative update. The laptop uses 200 scaling; the desktop 150. Apart from the dreaded "3 Dot Problem" everything works as expected.

I blame a mystery alien culture planning to invade Earth... I'm certain Brink knows something, but isn't saying.

Only MS developers can really fix these issues or bugs. Because we don't have the Windows source code.

Here is the outcome from 10.0.26100.2605 december build (tested on several different UPDATED machines where the new build was successfully deployed):

1. 3dot explorer menu bug is still present (always opens upwards despite explorer window size - full screen or not); display scale 100%, all resolutions up to 3440x1440 (incl) tested even with scales up to 200%.
2. 190 MB of windows update cleanup is still NON-removable by Disk Cleanup (run as admin incl. tested).
At least this latest bug 'steals' much less than the previous bug with 8-9 GB...

The operation completed successfully.

This should indicate that we are fine here also in accordance to the latest MS philosophy?

Hi Guys,

i installed KB5048667 for my 24H2 Build today and register an new Bug in Town ;):

When you open the Sound Tab in Settings there is too much Space between the two Headlines. This was not the Case before the Update. It´s a Minor Thing but my inner Monk hates this ;)

Anyone else?

I never access sound settings from there as I use audio switcher, however, I did check and just as you point out there's a lot of room now.

Here is the outcome from 10.0.26100.2605 december build (tested on several different UPDATED machines where the new build was successfully deployed):

1. 3dot explorer menu bug is still present (always opens upwards despite explorer window size - full screen or not); display scale 100%, all resolutions up to 3440x1440 (incl) tested even with scales up to 200%.
2. 190 MB of windows update cleanup is still NON-removable by Disk Cleanup (run as admin incl. tested).
At least this latest bug 'steals' much less than the previous bug with 8-9 GB...

This should indicate that we are fine here also in accordance to the latest MS philosophy?

4. All of the following come up clean without issues this time around:
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /ScanHealth
DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth
sfc /scannow
You are not alone, same here on 7 different machines .... in place upgrade makes no difference ... Only thing you missed listing is:

Hey guys, as a follow up to my comprehensive list of issues here + Win7ine's addon post above, I can hereby confirm the following (tested and verified):

Dism /online /cleanup-image /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase seems to fix and reclaim back the non-removable windows update cleanup storage (190 MB bug in this build). Unfortunately, as noted above, it fails to fix both /StartComponentCleanup and /analyzecomponentstore.
By the way the first time you run /StartComponentCleanup /ResetBase it should go all the way up to 100% and you will think for a split second that all is finally good, but... yeah :sneaky: run it again and you will be back to our favorite:

At least it does fix the non-removable windows update cleanup storage...

I didn't ignore anything. To my clear question about 26100.2605 about insider trading, a clear answer was given: It sure is. And to guess what you meant, I'm not a psychic. You also clarified this later about the Release Preview.
Really? 🤣

Only MS developers can really fix these issues or bugs. Because we don't have the Windows source code.
Good luck getting MS to fix anything if the users don't report the problems to them. 🤣🤣🤷‍♂️
Too often they also ignore the FBH reports and never fix the problems. 😝🤬🤷‍♂️

Same problems here on two machines (laptop and desktop) , do we have to wait until Windows 12 :-) to get this fixed ?

Reporting an Issue/Bug usually takes some time to investigate. In fact, MS is starting to fix "3dot explorer menu bug", it may not be suitable for all users. These "Confirmed Issues/Bugs" have a priority order, and maybe a certain "Bug" does not need to be fixed in priority.
