[German<\/a>]Microsoft has released update KB3211320 for Windows 10 Version 1607 on January 24, 2017. Again this update is still undocumented and suspicious. Here are a few details. <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Addendum:<\/strong> Microsoft has released a KB3211320 description yet \u2013 it's a servicing stack update \u2013 some assumption made below are wrong.<\/p>\n

\"\"I haven't recognized this update until I stumbled upon a German deskmodder.de<\/a> blog post. The update is released on January 24, 2017 (Microsoft Update Catalog says 01\/23\/2017). Update details<\/a> says \"install this update to fix issues with Windows and references to a knowledgebase article that doesn't exists. <\/p>\n

The description in Microsoft Update Catalog (tab Package Details<\/em>) says, the new patch exchanges updates KB3199986<\/a> (Servicing Stack Update Oktober 27, 2016) and KB3199209<\/a> (Oktober 18, 2016). The screenshot below shows that this update was installed (silently) on January 24, 2017.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But update KB3213986<\/a> (released January 10, 2017) has been installed on January 25, 2017. Don't know, why the update released on early January was installed after the yesterday update. <\/p>\n

No details and confusion<\/h3>\n

Because there are not details provided from Microsoft, some sites was pointing<\/a> to Microsoft Security Bulletin Summary for January 2017<\/a>, where a critical update for Microsoft Edge (3211320) was named. But it seems that the association of the number 3211320 to KB3211320 is wrong. <\/p>\n

Microsoft Update Catalog says clearly it's a package, that exchanges prior servicing stack updates. I've downloaded the package from update catalog and have had a brief look at the details. The .mum manifest files says it's a servicing stack update, and a restart isn't required. Addendum:<\/strong> The servicing stack update is confirmed in KB3211320<\/a> description.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

But I was puzzled after looking into the windows shown above. Servicing stack updates are normally uninstallable. But update KB3211320 is shown in the uninstall list \u2013 and I (wrongly) thought I had seen an uninstall button \u2013 but the update is clearly not uninstallable. Overall, there are many questions and Microsoft failed again to deliver a description just in time. Woody Leonhard aked similar questions<\/a> at InfoWorld. Addendum:<\/strong> Ok, the KB3211320<\/a> description is now online (I guess 24 hours after releasing the update).<\/p>\n

Some damages after installing this update?<\/h3>\n

During writing this blog post, I stumbled upon this Microsoft answers forum thread<\/a> where users are complaining about that update. <\/p>\n
