Servicing stack update for Windows Server 2016, version 1709 and Windows 10, version 1709: November 13, 2018

Issue

After you install this Servicing Stack Update (SSU), some Windows cumulative updates (CU) might not install.

This issue may occur if either of the following conditions is true:

• You have not installed a cumulative update since August 2018.
• You install a new operating system, you install this SSU, and then you try to install any Windows CU that is dated September 2018 or later.

This issue affects only ARM64-based systems.

To recover from this issue, reinstall Windows, install the latest Windows CU, and then install this SSU.

Status

Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.
