Download Latest Cumulative Update For Windows Server 2016 _HOT_

IMPORTANT Starting in July 2020, we will resume non-security releases for Windows 10 and Windows Server, version 1809 and later. There is no change to the cumulative monthly security updates (also referred to as the "B" release or Update Tuesday release). For more information, see the blog post Resuming optional Windows 10 and Windows Server non-security monthly updates.
This article describes Cumulative Update 7 (KB 3092423) for Microsoft AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server. This update package fixes several issues that affect the caching and hosting services that are provided by AppFabric 1.1. For more information about these issues, see the "More Information" section.
This cumulative update includes all the features and fixes that were included in earlier cumulative updates for AppFabric 1.1 for Windows Server. For more information, click the following article numbers to view the articles in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
119591 How to obtain Microsoft support files from online services Microsoft scanned this file for viruses. Microsoft used the most current virus-detection software that was available on the date that the file was posted. The file is stored on security-enhanced servers that help prevent any unauthorized changes to the file.
After you apply this cumulative update, AppFabric uses a nonblocking garbage collection (background server garbage collection). Nonblocking garbage collection is a new feature in the Microsoft .NET Framework 4.5.
To enable this feature, follow these steps:
When you uninstall any cumulative update for Microsoft AppFabric 1.1, you may see a dialog box that states "The feature you are trying to use is on a network resource that is unavailable." In this situation, the cumulative update will not be uninstalled. To work around this issue, follow these steps:
When you now try to uninstall the cumulative update and are prompted for the location of the MSI, you can point it to the "packages" subfolder in the copy of the temporary directory that you created (such as to "c:\appfabrictempfiles\packages"), and the uninstallation should be successful.
The English version of this cumulative update package has the file attributes (or later file attributes) that are listed in the following table. The dates and times for these files are listed in Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). When you view the file information, it is converted to local time.

For some of our production systems we like to wait a few weeks to apply updates so that they've "baked" in the public a bit. We then wait a little longer after before patching backup systems lest we have issues in production with the patches. However, since Microsoft has moved to the cumulative update model, we run the risk of having those backup systems only show the next round of cumulative updates (since more than a month had passed) when what we really want is to install the prior month's. How is that possible? How do others manage this schedule without being forced to aggressively release patches?
On my Windows Server 2016 system, I have installed Windows Update "2018-07 cumulative update for Windows Server 2016 for x64-based systems" successfully. Two times already, today it is popping up for a third install.
The cumulative updates have never been restricted to only being released once per month. The idea behind the cumulative updates is multiple issues are fixed in a single group of updates, allowing you to only install the most recent group of updates, depending on your update strategy. In the past (before Windows 10/Windows Server 2016), those three updates would have been around 20-30 different updates, released throughout the month, instead of all at once.
The original response is incomplete at best. There's no need to install each of the cumulative updates because they serve different purposes. If your primary goals are security and stability, then install the "patch Tuesday" (the second Tuesday of the month) release. Another update is usually released on the third week. They refer to this as a quality update because this has bug fixes and improvements not included in the patch Tuesday release. You can think of this as an early release, but at the same time, is a true cumulative update, so it includes the latest patch Tuesday updates as well.
I have a server that was a clean build in May of 2021. It is server 2016 1607 running SQL 2016. This server refuses to do *any* Microsoft Cumulative Updates. It will do *any* other relevant Microsoft Update to this box via Windows Update without issue. Each month the same pattern repeats on the next cumulative update.
I have no errors that I can find. It just does the update, says it is done and rebooting, and then goes into that in-between state and comes out without visible errors and returns to Windows without explanation. Everything else that either proceeded or was after it on the update list goes absolutely fine whether it needs reboots or not. Going through May, June, July, and August it is pretty obvious that this cumulative update unable to install is a pattern and not a one-off event. I have tried disabling SentinelOne and that did nothing. The machine is clean of any viruses per Windows Defender/SCCM Endpoint and SentinelOne. I have disabled all unnecessary services. I have run a SFC/SCANNOW and it runs clean. I have run a DISM /ONLINE /CLEANUP-IMAGE /SCANHEALTH and it runs clean. I have blown up and re-installed Windows Update including clearing out the software database and that does nothing. I have tried downloading cumulative updates from the Microsoft Catalog and manually applying them for a couple of months and that does nothing.
Everything is fine except this server can't take a cumulative update. Due to the nature of this server taking it off-line for an extended period of time is painful. However, I am about to try an in-place upgrade to 2019 and then a clean build migration if I can't come up with what the issue is.
KB5016622 supersedes KB5015808 cumulative update. There are no specific prerequisites for installing KB5016622. However, the latest Servicing Stack Update KB5017095 needs to be deployed as part of the deployment process of the latest cumulative update.
