Windows 11 servicing stack update (KB5052915)- 26100.3321​

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

Roblox

Symptoms
We’re aware of an issue where players on Arm devices are unable to download and play Roblox from the Microsoft Store on Windows.

Workaround
Roblox is working on a resolution to address this issue. Please refer to the Roblox support site for updates. Until the resolution is available, players on Arm devices can play Roblox by downloading the title directly from www.Roblox.com.

Citrix

Symptoms
Devices 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.

Workaround
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.

AvailableNext Step
Included
This update downloads and installs automatically from Windows Update and Microsoft Update.
Included
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 KB5053598 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-KB5053598-x64.msu

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Online -PackagePath "c:\packages\Windows11.0-KB5053598-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-KB5053598-x64.msu

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

Add-WindowsPackage -Path "c:\offline" -PackagePath "Windows11.0-KB5053598-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 5053598.

For a list of the files that are provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU (KB5052915) - version 26100.3321.

Guys, the number of reclaimable packages still remain 2 right?

After the update you have to reboot. Did you see at first Installing updates 0%-30% (My screen went black) and after the reboot it continued with 30%-100%? I had to reboot twice before the 30%-100% part. After a shutdown my system didn't. It wanted... Turned the power off forcefully.
Today at startup; sfc /scannow found errors and repaired it. DISM /CheckHealth found errors. DISM /RestoreHealth took a long time (10 min) to finish. Was stuck at 62,3% for most of the time. The CBS.log showed progress all the time so it was busy. Mind you; I have a fresh new Win installed on 2/3/2025 and had 1 update since; 26100.3323. Did not expect that I came in trouble so soon with 26100.3476.

Curious if anybody else had problems; execute sfc /scannow and DISM /CheckHealth..... to see if your system is in good health.

Yes. As I found out this is normal. This issue can not be resolved. I know; I tried. Messed up my windows system really good. (Luckily a VM)

Open the C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log file and search for; "is a top-level package and is deeply superseded"

You will find 2 hits; Those are those 2 unreclaimable packages.
1) [Microsoft-Windows-FodMetadataServicing-Desktop-Metadata-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.26100.1742]
2) [Package_for_RollupFix~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~26100.1742.1.10]
Both has the status: "is a top-level package and is deeply superseded"
Start PowerShell as admin and copy & paste the following lines below + Press Enter;
Result file can be found in C:\Windows\Temp\Result.txt for later inspection, but it is also immediately visible on your screen

$OutputFilePath = "C:\Windows\Temp\Result.txt"
$nr=00
Get-Content "C:\Windows\Logs\CBS\CBS.log" | ForEach-Object {
if ($_ -like "*is a top-level package and is deeply superseded*")
{
$nr++
$Snr = "{0:d3}" -f $nr
Add-Content -Path $OutputFilePath -Value "Number:$Snr : $_" -PassThru
}
}

@hader Thanks for your explanation and as for the /RestoreHealth stuck at 62.3% for a period of time also I think is a common thing. While I saw @Ghot ==100%== the operation completed successfully.

Yes! Unfortunately I must agree. Never had any problems like this, but I have seen that too much for my taste. Probably one of those undocumented features; "2 Unreclaimable packages" and "stuck at 62,3%" 😮.........😆😆 . Oh well. Keeps us busy.... 😒

If you don't check the logs, you don't know what needed to be repaired. 😎
Probably nothing to do with the restart. 😵‍💫

No, what I meant was that both scans repaired what was needed to be repaired (didn't check the logs), and then when I restarted my PC I re-ran the scans and all was/is fine.
