Windows 10 servicing stack update (KB5054007) - 17763.7000
Microsoft now combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). SSUs improve the reliability of the update process to mitigate potential issues while installing updates.
This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. To learn more about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions.
Known issues in this update
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
The issue has been resolved in Citrix Session Recording Agent version 2503, released on April 28, 2025, and newer versions.
For details, see the documentation provided by Citrix at "Microsoft's January Security Update Fails/Reverts on a machine with 2411 Session Recording Agent".
