Microsoft Releases Cumulative Update January 2022 For Windows 10

At the beginning of 2022, as usual, according to Microsoft’s monthly schedule, on Tuesday the second week of the month, Microsoft will definitely release cumulative updates for several operating systems that they still support, be it Windows 10 or Windows 11.

Well, earlier this month, for several versions of Windows 10 that are still supported, Microsoft has released the first cumulative update this year, some of these versions include Windows 10 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2 where the update presented is the KB5009543 update which will bring the OS to build to 19042.1466, 19043.1466, and 19044.1466 for each version.

As usual, unfortunately, there are not many things that Microsoft has listed in this update release note, of which there are only two that they highlight and some of them are:

Updates a known issue that affects Japanese Input Method Editors (IME). The text you enter might appear out of order or the text cursor might move unexpectedly in apps that use the multibyte character set (MBCS).
Updates security for your Windows operating system.

In addition, there are two improvements presented include:

Addresses an issue that prevents Active Directory (AD) attributes from being written properly during a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Modify operation when you make multiple attribute changes.
Addresses a known issue that affects Japanese Input Method Editors (IME). When you use a Japanese IME to enter text, the text might appear out of order or the text cursor might move unexpectedly in apps that use the multibyte character set (MBCS). This issue affects the Microsoft Japanese IME and third-party Japanese IMEs.

It’s not a lot, but of course, you really have to get this update, because it contains security updates for the Windows operating system, although it’s not clear what is included, of course, security issues are very important for us to continue to get.

Now for you users of Windows 10 20H2, 21H1, and 21H2, you can immediately get an update from this page from Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update, then please download the KB5009543 update available there. But if you want to download the update manually, you can download the following msu file.

For Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2019 Version

Now for the Windows 10 LTSC 2019 version which is based on Windows 10 version 1809, the update is presented in KB5009557, where based on the release note, there is only one fix including Active Directory Attributes.

Addresses an issue that prevents Active Directory (AD) attributes from being written properly during a Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) Modify operation when you make multiple attribute changes.

Just like before, you can just update your Windows 10 LTSC 2019 via the Settings > Update & Security > Windows Updates page.

Microsoft Pulls Troubled Windows Server Update

Microsoft Pulls Troubled Windows Server Update

The latest Patch Tuesday update which has been released previously is known to have caused many problems, including boot loop on servers running Windows Domain Controller, messing with Hyper-V, and rendering storage using ReFS unusable.

Microsoft finally pulled the Windows Server update which was released as Patch Tuesday, after many users reported that the update had a number of bugs, as described above earlier.

Windows users had two misfortunes on the same day that Microsoft also released another update that fixed 97 security vulnerabilities in its monthly Patch Tuesday, which also caused Windows installations to crash for some users.

That update includes Windows Server 2012 R2 KB5009624, Windows Server 2019 KB5009557, and Windows Server 2022 KB5009555 updates. All of the updates listed were found to be problematic.

“Admins at Windows Domain Controller please be careful when installing the January 2022 security update. I’ve been getting a lot of reports of Windows servers not booting at all after installing that Patch Tuesday. Lsass.exe triggers a BSOD with error 0xc0000005. This affects all versions of Windows Server that behave as a domain controller,” said a user who goes by the name BornCity.

The domain controller behaves as a server to process security login requests for Windows computers. Microsoft Hyper-V is the default hypervisor for the latest Windows Server updates, capable of managing virtual machines running the Windows x86-64 operating system.

Then what has changed due to the buggy update is the Resilient File System (ReFS), which is a file system designed in such a way to protect your data and help it stay safe even when it crashes.

The problem with this update also raises its own polemic, because this then raises concerns from admins or organizations and on the other hand it will be increasingly difficult to convince them to immediately update their system if it turns out that the update that was sent turns out to be problematic.

Experts suggest that although Microsoft always recommends updating immediately for device security, it’s best to test it on a single device first, to determine its reliability, before deploying it to more devices.

Microsoft Publishes Emergency Update For Windows Server

Microsoft has released an emergency out-of-band (OOB) update to address some of the issues caused by the Windows Update on Patch Tuesday of January 2022. This update will address issues related to VPN networks, and some issues that have caused chaos over the past week.

“Microsoft has shipped the OOB update on January 18, 2022, for some versions of Windows. This update will fix issues with VPN networks, boot lops in Windows Server Domain Controllers, virtual machine crashes and ReFS media not loading,” Microsoft said in a statement.

All of the released OOB updates can be downloaded through the Microsoft update catalogue, and some can be installed directly via the Windows Update page as optional updates.
