Probability of successful installation and continued operation of the machine
Overview
This is a security update released on April 8, 2025, for Windows 11 versions 24H2, 23H2, 22H2, and 21H2. The update includes important security improvements to internal OS functionality and addresses various issues including a Daylight Saving Time (DST) update for the Aysen region in Chile.
General Purpose
The update primarily focuses on security improvements to Windows operating system functionality. It includes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is responsible for installing Windows updates. The update also implements DST changes for the Aysen region in Chile to comply with government orders. After installation, a new %systemdrive%inetpub folder will be created as part of security enhancements, which should not be deleted regardless of IIS status.
General Sentiment
The general sentiment towards this update appears cautious but necessary. While it contains important security improvements, there are several known issues affecting specific configurations, particularly for enterprise environments. The update seems to be functioning normally for most home users, but organizations using certain Citrix components or Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) may experience installation problems. Microsoft is actively working with Citrix to address the reported issues.
Known Issues
- Devices with Citrix Session Recording Agent (SRA) version 2411 may fail to complete the January 2025 Windows security update installation
- Windows 11 version 24H2 might not download via Windows Server Update Services (WSUS) after installing this update
- Active Directory Group Policy audit logon/logoff events in local policy might not show as enabled even when functioning correctly
