KB5001716 Update for Windows Update Service components. Another Windows nag coming to your Win10 screen soon. Wait for it….
Notes about this update
- When this update is installed, Windows may attempt to download and install feature updates to your device if it is approaching or has reached the end of support for your currently installed Windows version. Feature updates offer new functionality and help keep your device secure.
- After this update is installed, Windows may periodically display a notification informing you of problems that may prevent Windows Update from keeping your device up-to-date and protected against current threats. For example, you may see a notification informing you that your device is currently running a version of Windows that has reached the end of its support lifecycle, or that your device does not meet the minimum hardware requirements for the currently installed version of Windows.
Windows Update
This update will be downloaded and installed automatically from Windows Update. It is also offered directly to Windows Update Client for some devices that have not installed the most recent updates
I hid KB5001716 last year when it showed up in wushowhide after I dropped most of the GPEdit settings spelled out for Windows 10 Pro in AKB2000016 for the Windows Update for Business area back to the “Not configured” state. Once I did that, it showed up and I promptly hid it.
I just ran wushowhide, and KB5001716 was nowhere to be found in the offerings for this month.
Just for clarity’s sake, the settings I returned to “Not configured” to get KB5001716 to show up are all of those under the WUfB folder except “Manage preview builds” and “Disable safeguards for Feature Updates”. Both of those have been set to “Not configured” for a long time. “Manage preview builds” has gone through a change or two since its implementation in the days around Windows 10 2004’s release, which is why I currently have it set to “Not configured”.
EDIT: Out of an abundance of caution w/respect to to MS’s somewhat devious ways, after hiding this month’s updates with wushowhide, I returned the Quality Updates setting to 30 days from 0 (zero) days. That way, if it does show up when I change the Quality Updates setting back to zero to install this month’s updates, I’ll be able to hide it again.
I mentioned this because it was listed today in the Description of Software Update Services changes in content KB894199.
New nonsecurity content:
- 2024-05 Update for Windows 10 Version 22H2, Windows 10 Version 21H2, Windows 10 Version 21H1, and Windows 10 Version 20H2 (KB5001716)
Perhaps you remember KB2952664?
Win 10 22H2 … (multi Macrium Images ready )…. May CU KB5037768… NetFrmwk 4.8 KB5038285 (Con Panel installs shows KB5037587 which references …8285) …. MSRT …. instd fairly quickly. Oddly, it took 3 WuMgr looks to SEE the Net Frmwk per a sample 1st look that showed CU and MSRT Only, actual install process of Qty 2 Froze at 80% Download, so I X’d off and Re-started WuMgr … THEN I saw the NetFrmwk offered and things went quickly thereafter.
W10 Pro 22H2 / Hm-Stdnt Ofce '16 C2R / Macrium Pd vX / GP=2 + FtrU=Semi-Annual + Feature Defer = 1 + QU = 0
My OS is Win 10 Pro 22H2. I installed the available updates yesterday, without incident. I am now running 19045.4412.
Peace, CAS
I do not trust Apple anymore
Installed the RC versions of Apple updates for iPhone,, iPad, watch .
Zero problems.
I recently updated my 13 pro to 17.5. I did have several photos that I had deleted several years ago reappear in Photos. I don’t use iCloud storage or any other online storage for any of my data or photos so no online source to reload from. The photos that reappear are selective and represent only a very small fraction of the photos that I have deleted. Upon investigation I discovered that all photos that reappeared were photos that I had texted someone and the “deleted” photo from the Photos app was still present in the copy of that old still saved text message. It appears that on my iPhone the Photos app displays all photos on the phone and a deleted photo in the Photos app that still exists in another app will “reappear”.

I heard a similar one.

2024-05 Cumulative Update for Windows 11 Version 22H2 for x64-based Systems (KB5037771)
Ended up with black screen, After 4 hours of work trying every trick we could think of we ended up having to use blockapatch to hide this update otherwise we got stuck in a loop where it kept trying to install the patch, fail and cause black screen that we need to repair each time.
Hoping it is just an anomaly.

Reported on the dell forum, the current win11 update caused mayem to a laptop at the lowest possible level ( bios ). I know a lot of data is missing , from the one that posted there…
So far so good.

Hi Susan:
Windows Update successfully installed all updates offered for the May 2024 Patch Tuesday on my Win 10 Pro v22H2 laptop, including:
My system has been running well since the updates were installed (e.g., DISM, SFC and Windows Update Troubleshooter do not detect any problems), but Windows Update did initially throw two 0x800706be download errors for my KB5037768 monthly CU and KB2267602 Microsoft Defender virus definition set v1.411.217.0 – see image below). Clicking the Re-try link for the CU triggered a fresh update check and the update process ran to completion as expected (including the early “Restart Now” pop-up I always see as soon as any .NET Framework update has finished installing – see attached image) and I suspect I just had a temporary problem with the connection to my ISP.
There were lots of “firsts” for me this May 2024 Patch Tuesday. For example, this was the first Patch Tuesday since Microsoft introduced a “new and improved” method for delivery of the Win 10 v22H2 cumulative updates (see the MS 24-Apr-2024 article <here>), the first Patch Tuesday since my Malwarebytes Premium upgraded from v4.x to v5.x, and the first Windows Update since my MS Defender platform updated to v4.18.24040.4 on 17-May-2024. As I said, I’m hoping it was just a glitchy internet connection that caused the 0x800706be download errors, so I’ll just have to wait and see how next month’s Patch Tuesday updates behave.
I was not offered the KB5001716 (Update for Windows Update Service Components) PKCano mentioned in post # 2671512, and so far:

Is this new? I haven’t installed the Patch Tuesday May patches yet, but have the April ones. I have separate “System Components” and “Optional Features” already.
Hi Deo / WCHS:
It’s probably not a coincidence that most of the apps listed at Settings | System | System Components on my Win 10 machine are also now labeled “System” on my Start menu. See the 28-Oct-2023 Neowin article Windows 10 gets a surprising Start menu update.
I think this has something to do with Microsoft’s rush to meet requirements for the European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA). The Windows blog Previewing changes in Windows to comply with the Digital Markets Act in the European Economic Area (updated 29-Feb-2024) states in part:
Windows operating system and apps
Customers using Windows have always used a combination of operating system functionality as well as apps, but now Windows will clearly identify operating system functionality in places like Settings, Start, and Search:
- Settings > System > System Components will show notable operating system components.
- Start menu’s All Apps list has been renamed to All and operating system components are labeled with “system”.
- Under Search, search results will show operating system components labeled with “system”.

I looked at March post updates and the settings seperation settings weren’t there then.
I find it odd that windows states “if you would like to uninstall…” lol
Thank you Imacri post 2675629…
I noticed “system” underneath a few start menu options, but they were not yet in the new “System Components section” at that time. Funnily enough, I was able to “uninstall” a heap from an unused test local Admin account via Apps>Features prior to installing March just in the nick of time – they didn’t come back! Whew, was lucky, under the wire uninstalling from one account anyways:)

Hi Deo:
In addition to the “notable” operating system components now listed on my Win 10 machine at Settings | System | System Components I also have about a dozen optional components (Internet Explorer 11, Wordpad, etc.) listed at Settings | System | Optional that all have a Remove button.
None of these optional Windows components are listed at Settings | Apps | Apps & Features with my UWP (Universal Windows Platform / Microsoft Store) apps, and according to Previewing Changes in Windows to Comply with the Digital Markets Act in the European Economic Area Microsoft have also added an Uninstall button to a few more UWP apps at Settings | Apps | Apps & Features (e.g., Camera, Cortana, Photos, etc.).

Hi @Deo, are you wanting to uninstall the Phone Link app? If so, see Ghacks: How to uninstall phone link for using a PowerShell command to do it.
The Ghacks article is dated April 2022, but more recent web sources (e.g., one dated March 2024) say the same thing.
