There will be a monthly security release for December 2024. Normal monthly servicing for both security and non-security preview releases will resume in January 2025.


For information about Windows update terminology, see the article about the types of Windows updates and the monthly quality update types. For an overview of Windows 11, version 24H2, see its update history page.

Note Follow @WindowsUpdate to find out when new content is published to the Windows release health dashboard.

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 .

Fortunately my desktop didn't have anything wrong but I still have to do the laptop.
As long as the errors can be fixed when they occur no real harm done.

It was as fast as Windows 10. I guess that's an improvement. LOL

SFC worked fine.
DISM... StartComponentCleanup, worked, but weirdly.
Progress bar went to 63.6%, then jumped to 100%. Then went back to 70% then proceeded normally to 100%.
Two for the price of one. LOL

Disk Cleanup seems to be working again. :cool:

Does it finally fix the popup menu issue in explorer?
It fixed it on my PC :-)

EDIT: So far, I have updated 3 machines. The File Explorer issue has been resolved on all 3 so I guess it is safe to say that they nailed this one.

    Still assembled, still runs. Haven't turned it on for 13 years?
The Vivetool works great! just took a couple minutes to fix mine a while back. No problems so far with the new update on either computer.

Weird, I'm now up to 5 machines on which the File Explorer issue is fixed. The one thing that I may have done differently is that I simply left that problem alone - I never tried to fix it using ViveTool or anything else.

Well, I now also have my ISO image updated so that the December update is slipstreamed into it. Now I just need to do a couple clean installs to make sure everything seems kosher.

Because these might not be available to all users because they will roll out gradually. Maybe next time will fixed for me.

Considering this seems to be a small update, it has taken me four attempts including restoring a Macrium Reflect backup to get this blooming update installed - hardly worth the effort!

Why would a fix for a bug be rolled out gradually? I am not saying that this is not the case, you may very well be correct, just seems like an odd choice to me. Unless there are other changes to File Explorer that came along with this that they want to roll out gradually.

But lending credence to your theory is the fact that I just performed a 100% clean, unattended installation of the new build 26100.2605 onto a Hyper-V VM and that now is the first installation on which the File Explorer issue is evident. I had updated 5 machines today and the issue is fixed on all of them, but I do one clean install and that is where the problem shows up.

Microsoft can control these "Gradual rollout" features through Windows Update. Just like you use Vivetool to enable/disable these feature IDs.

I've taken screenshots, Microsoft didn't fix it on my machine.

The operative word is "features". Why they would gradually roll out a bug fix is simply beyond me.

On the plus side, here is another observation:

After doing a clean install of Windows, I always go to the Microsoft Store and check for updates. I typically have about 32 (rough count) updates that need to get installed and it takes a while to install all of them. I would estimate a minimum of 15 minutes. After installing 26100.2605 clean, I still had about 32 updates that needed to be installed but I think that it finished all updates in under 2 minutes. So, that is a nice improvement.

This is nothing new.
