Windows 10 servicing stack update - 20348.610

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

Symptom	Workaround

After installing updates released January 11, 2022 or later, apps that use the Microsoft .NET Framework to acquire or set Active Directory Forest Trust Information might have issues. The apps might fail or close or you might receive an error from the app or Windows. You might also receive an access violation (0xc0000005) error. Note for developers Affected apps use the System.DirectoryServices API.	To resolve this issue manually, apply the out-of-band updates for the version of the .NET Framework used by the app. Note These out-of-band updates are not available from Windows Update and will not install automatically. To get the standalone package, search for the KB number for your version of Windows and .NET Framework in the Microsoft Update Catalog. You can manually import these updates into Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) and Microsoft Endpoint Configuration Manager. For WSUS instructions, see WSUS and the Catalog Site. For Configuration Manger instructions, see Import updates from the Microsoft Update Catalog. For instructions on how to install this update for your operating system, see the KB articles listed below: Windows Server 2022: .NET Framework 4.8 KB5011258 Windows Server 2019: .NET Framework 4.8 KB5011257 .NET Framework 4.7.2 KB5011259 Windows Server 2016: .NET Framework 4.8 KB5011264 .NET Framework 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1 or 4.7.2 KB5011329 Windows Server 2012 R2: .NET Framework 4.8 KB5011266 .NET Framework 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1 or 4.7.2 KB5011263 .NET Framework 4.5.2 KB5011261 Windows Server 2012: .NET Framework 4.8 KB5011265 .NET Framework 4.6, 4.6.1, 4.6.2, 4.7, 4.7.1 or 4.7.2 KB5011262 .NET Framework 4.5.2 KB5011260
After installing this update, some apps might render content incorrectly or outside of the app's window. Affected apps are using WebView2 to render content generated locally or downloaded from the internet.	This issue is addressed using a Known Issue Rollback (KIR). Please note that it might take up to 24 hours for the KIR to propagate automatically to consumer devices and non-managed business devices. Restarting your Windows device might help the KIR to apply to your device faster. For enterprise-managed devices that have installed an affected update and encountered this issue, you can address it by installing and configuring a special Group Policy listed below. Important Verify that you are using the correct Group Policy for your version of Windows. Group Policy downloads with Group Policy name: Download for Windows Sever 2022 - KB5011558 Issue 001 Rollback Important You must install and configure the Group Policies specific to your version of Windows to address this issue. To configure the special Group Policy, use the following steps: If the KIR Group Policy has not been installed, install it from the link above. Open Group Policy Editor, navigate to either Local Computer Policy or the Domain policy on your domain controller then: Administrative Templates -> <Name as listed above>, then select the version of Windows you want to use this group policy on. Note You might need to select the Windows 10 version that use the same update as a version of Server you are using. For example, you might need to select Windows 10, version 1809 if you are using Windows Server 2019. Set it to, "Disabled". If you are setting this on a domain controller, you must wait for the Group Policy to replicate group policy changes in Active Directory and the SYSVOL. Devices that apply a KIR GP in a local or domain policy must either apply a background or manual group policy refresh. Restart the affected device. Note You should not need to restart the domain controller after installing this KIR Group Policy. Allow the Group Policy to refresh on affected devices before installing the affected Windows update. For information on deploying and configuring these special Group Policies, see How to use Group Policy to deploy a Known Issue Rollback.
Universal Windows Platform (UWP) apps might not open on devices that have undergone a Windows device reset. This includes operations that were initiated using Mobile Device Management (MDM), such as Reset this PC, Push-button reset, and Autopilot Reset. UWP apps you downloaded from the Microsoft Store are not affected. Only a limited set of apps are affected, including: App packages with framework dependencies Apps that are provisioned for the device, not per user account. The affected apps will fail to open without error messages or other observable symptoms. They must be re-installed to restore functionality.	This issue is addressed in KB5015879 for all releases starting September 14, 2021 and later.

How to get this update

Before installing this update

Microsoft now 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

Release Channel	Available	Next Step
Windows Update and Microsoft Update	Yes	Go to Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update. In the Optional updates available area, you’ll find the link to download and install the update.
Windows Update for Business	No	None. These changes will be included in the next security update to this channel.
Microsoft Update Catalog	No	To get the standalone package for this update, go to the Microsoft Update Catalog website.
Windows Server Update Services (WSUS)	No	You can import this update into WSUS manually. See the Microsoft Update Catalog for instructions.

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 5011558.

For a list of the files that are provided in the servicing stack update, download the file information for the SSU - version 20348.610.
