[German<\/a>]Microsoft has released this night update KB3140741<\/a> (Servicing stack update for Windows 10 Version 1511: March 22, 2016). It's an extraordinary, but minor update, with not too much information. But I've compiled a few additional hints, what this update ist good form.  <\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\"\"Update KB3140741<\/a> is a mini update, that makes \u2013 according to Microsoft \u2013 some stability improvements for Windows 10 Version 1511 servicing stack. But we should note: KB3140741<\/a> isn't a cumulative update. If Servicing Stack hasn't been updated, the package is 5 MB (32-Bit-Windows) or 11 MB (64-Bit-Windows) in size. A direct download via Microsoft Update-Katalog<\/a> is possible (IE 11 under Windows 10 is required). Installing this patch doesn't requires a reboot. <\/p>\n

Inside-Information? Not from Microsoft<\/h3>\n

I assume, that Microsoft found some major bugs within Windows 10 Version 1511 Servicing Stack. Unfortunately Microsoft is small lipping according to details, an the Windows 10 Update-History<\/a> doesn't cover this update till yet. But KB3140741<\/a> replaces Update KB3139907<\/a>. This update has been released at March 1, 2016. KB3139907<\/a> lists all files replaced by this update. So it seems that a couple of network related files are exchanged. But also update related files are updated. <\/p>\n

I have had a short view into update packe. A lot of .cat-, .mum- and .manifest-files has been updated. The file manifest_.cix.xml<\/em> specifies all altered files within this update package (z.B. cmitrust.dll, smiengine_dll, tifilefetcher.exe, poqexec.exe, sppinst.dll, wbemcore.dll, esscli.dll etc., probably all files listed at KB3139907<\/a>). But I haven't analyzed the details.<\/p>\n

What is Servicing Stack?<\/h3>\n

Probably some readers are asking what is a Servicing Stack? Microsoft describes the task of the Servicing stack here<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

The servicing stack includes the files and resources that are required to service a Windows image. This includes the Package Manager executable, the required servicing libraries, and other resources. The servicing stack is included in all Windows installations.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

The Servicing stack is also used for update installation (including transaction support via Pending.xml <\/em>(if a restart during update install is required). An older description of servicing stack tasks may be found here<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
