    • 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.

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​

  • [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.

You should run SCANHEALTH not just CHECKHEALTH, they are quite different.
The 1st is for previously detected components problems, the second is scanning for the current problems.

why not a .bat file to run after every update?
including these commands:
Powershell: 
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase
shutdown /r
I'm a bit lazy to type it every time but I'm not that much professional to order these commands and also maybe you know more commands for windows cleanup and repair process.
TNX.

edit: I'm also thinking about some good commands to deep cleanup C drive and then trim it !

Apologies for this basic question. We updated 4 devices from 23H2 to 24H2 this month. In 23H2 the Preview Updates were shown even with the "Get the latest updates..." toggle off. Just checked but none of our PC's are showing the Preview Updates. Is this a change from 23H2 to 24H2? We are going to wait until Patch Tuesday before installing them so the toggle is off. Thanks.

Same here, but this update didn't show up on neither of my computers, so installed manually.

The instructions say to install two CU's in a particular order.

View attachment 123608
But @Brink I don't get it. KB5043080 is OS build 26100.1742 and obviously fails to install.

I got that KB back in September

@Scott,

Maybe I can clarify this for you...

Prior to 24H2, the monthly patches were released as a cumulative update. The advantage of this is that you only ever needed to download the latest cumulative update. There would be no need to install anything but the latest update even on a completely clean install of Windows.

In 24H2 that changes. There are now two types of updates - a "checkpoint" update and an "incremental" update. Here is how this works:

A checkpoint update is much like a cumulative update. You only need to install the checkpoint update if you are on a build lower than what the checkpoint takes you to. As you had noted, KB5043080 takes the system to build 1742. As a result, you only need to install KB5043080 if you are on a build lower than 1742.

Once you are on that build or newer, you only need to install the latest incremental update.

So, over time, as more and more updates are released, if you had the old style cumulative updates, that cumulative update would get larger every month as more and more updates are released. With the new scheme, Microsoft intends to occasionally release a new checkpoint update which will include all the previous updates (both checkpoint and incremental). Now, the incremental updates start all over again containing only the updates published AFTER that latest checkpoint. So in the months immediately following a checkpoint update the incremental updates will be smaller saving bandwidth and time to download. Eventually, as the incremental gets larger and larger, Microsoft will issue a new checkpoint update.

IMPORTANT: If you are used to incremental and differential updates for backups, this is a little bit different. With backups, when you take incremental updates, you would need to apply ALL incremental updates to a system if you are restoring your data. In this case, all you need is the very latest checkpoint update and the latest incremental update. If there are no incremental updates released yet AFTER the latest checkpoint update, then only the checkpoint update is needed.

Example:

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.

KB5050094 is an incremental update taking the system to build 3037. Install if you are on 1742 or later but less than 3037. If you are less than 1742, install KB5043080 to get you to build 1742 and then install KB5050094.

Note that you can install KB5043080 followed by KB5050094 without needing to perform a reboot between the two.

Naturally, this only matters if you are installing updates manually. Windows update handles all these details automagically.

I only got KB5050577 from Windows Update, but not KB5050094. Do I need to manually install KB5050094? Thanks :-)

@Brink
why not a .bat file to run after every update?
including these commands:
Powershell: 
sfc /scannow
dism /online /cleanup-image /scanhealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /restorehealth
dism /online /cleanup-image /analyzecomponentstore
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup
dism /online /cleanup-image /startcomponentcleanup /resetbase
shutdown /r
I'm a bit lazy to type it every time but I'm not that much professional to order these commands and also maybe you know more commands for windows cleanup and repair process.
TNX.

edit: I'm also thinking about some good commands to deep cleanup C drive and then trim it !

It's usually not needed, but if wanted it's fine.
