Servicing Stack Update for January 2022

Topic

New Reply

Hello Everyone.   I just installed the updates for January 2022 and I noticed that there was no separate servicing stack update that is listed in the Currently Installed Updates list.  The last Servicing Stack update I see was for the December 2021 updates and it is version 10.0.19041.1371.  Shame on me – I dared to step away from the computer to cook dinner this one time and I didn’t get to see the 2-stage updating of KB5009543 (the update and the servicing stack).

When I Googled the January 2022 update Cumulative Update for Windows 10 Version 21H1 for x64-based System (KB5009543) the Microsoft support article notes that the latest servicing stack updates are 19042.1371, 19043.1371 and 19044.1371.

Is anyone still seeing the Servicing Stack updates listed separately in their Currently Installed Updates list?

If no one is seeing the Servicing Stack updates listed separately – where do you all go to see if the servicing stack is updated to the latest version?

If everyone is still seeing the Servicing Stack updates listed separately – should I uninstall the update and start over?  Is it an error or just a visual change…that they are not listed separately anymore?

Thank you.

I’m pretty new to Windows 10 but my understanding is that the latest SSU is combined with the latest cumulative update.

Scroll down to “How to get this update”/”before installing this update”

Thanks – But do you see the Servicing Stack update listed separately on your computer?  I will attach my Currently Installed updates list – is it listed on yours?  You will see the Cumulative update is listed but the not the corresponding latest version for the Servicing Stack.  You ‘ll see that the last update I have is for the December 2021 Servicing Stack.

Service stack updates, though fairly frequent, are released as needed. As you can see from the pics above there were SSU installed in September, November, and December. NO October or January.

FWIW, Microsoft is testing a different delivery mechanism for SSU in the Insider Dev Channel. It is similar to the Windows Experience Packs. Small updates are released as they are ready independent of the monthly cumulative updates. The regular update process won’t be dependent on an SSU update first.

a reminder that newer servicing stack updates are bundled (or integrated) inside recent cumulative updates and MS seldomly releases new SSUs as “standalone” updates nowadays
