Starting November 12, 2024, Windows 10 users might experience issues while trying to update or uninstall packaged apps. Affected Windows 10 devices have received the WinAppSDK 1.6.2 package (published on November 12, 2024). When users download an app that relies on WinAppSDK, the necessary components of the SDK are automatically downloaded and installed along with the app.
Resulting from this issue, you might observe that Microsoft Store displays the error message, ‘Something happened on our end’ in the ‘Downloads’ panel.
If you are an IT administrator trying to manage packaged apps through PowerShell using ‘Get-AppxPackage’ command you might observe the error ‘Deployment failed with HRESULT: 0x80073CFA’, ‘Please contact your software vendor. (Exception from HRESULT: 0x80073CFA’) in PowerShell.
You will also notice that apps like Microsoft Teams and other 3rd party apps are impacted if you choose to uninstall and re-install the apps as part of the update process.
Please note, this issue is not caused by a Windows security or preview monthly update.
Resolution: This issue was resolved by Windows updates released November 21, 2024 (KB5046714), and later. We recommend you install the latest update for your device as it contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.
Affected platforms:
- Client: Windows 10, version 22H2

A small subset of Azure Virtual Desktop customers using multi-session hosts (AVD) who have installed Windows Updates released between KB5040525 on July 23, 2024, and KB5044273 released October 8, 2024, may experience the following issues:
- An extended 10-to-30-minute-long hang at a black screen following user logon.
- Office applications including Outlook and Teams experience single sign-on (SSO) failures, preventing users from connecting or synchronizing data.
This issue is caused by a deadlock in the interactions between the Azure Active Directory(AAD) broker and the underlying AppX deployment service(AppxSvc) and Background tasks infrastructure service.You are more likely to experience this issue if you are using FSLogix user profile containers on multi-session environments. FSLogix is a Microsoft tool that helps manage and speed up user profiles on computers, especially in virtual environments like remote desktops.
Windows 10 Education edition users and home users of Windows using Home or Pro editions are unlikely to face this issue as Azure Virtual Desktop is more commonly used in enterprise environments.
Resolution:
This issue is resolved by installing the Windows updates released October 22, 2024 (KB5045594) or later updates and by applying one of the options mentioned in the Resolution section in KB5048864. Note that you need to perform both actions to resolve the issue.
Affected platforms:
- Client: Windows 10, version 22H2

After installing the September 2024 preview update (KB5043131), released September 24, 2024 or later, you might observe that apps such as Quick Assist, Microsoft Teams, Windows Narrator, etc might fail to start if you are a non-admin user. You might experience this issue on any app that sets UIAccess=true while trying to run the app as a non-admin user. The uiAccess=true attribute in an application's manifest file is used to request that the application be granted higher privileges. Apps using this attribute launch from a secure path, such as :
- %ProgramFiles% (including subdirectories)
- %ProgramFiles(x86)% (including subdirectories for 64-bit versions of Windows)
- %systemroot%\system32
- %systemroot%\syswow64 (for 64-bit versions of Windows)
If you have the Procmon monitoring tool installed in your device, you will observe that the application runs with the wrong integrity level, Integrity:Low instead of the expected Integrity:Medium. You are less likely to encounter this issue if you are running the application as an administrator.
Resolution:
This issue was resolved by Windows updates released November 12, 2024 (KB5046613), and later. We recommend you install the latest security update for your device as it contains important improvements and issue resolutions, including this one.
If you have an enterprise-managed device and have installed the update released November 12, 2024 (KB5046613), and later, you do not need to use a Known Issue Rollback (KIR) or a special Group Policy to resolve this issue. If you are using an update released before November 12, 2024, and have this issue, your IT administrator can resolve it by installing and configuring the special Group Policy listed below. The special Group Policy can be found in Computer Configuration > Administrative Templates > <Group Policy name listed below>.
For information on deploying and configuring these special Group Policy, please see How to use Group Policy to deploy a Known Issue Rollback.

After installing the July 2024 non-security preview update (KB5040525), released July 23, 2024 or subsequent updates, you might experience a black screen when you login to Azure Virtual Desktop (AVD). You might also notice that you are unable to log out of your account and the black screen persists even after disconnecting and reconnecting to AVD. Resulting from this issue, the application event log in Event viewer will show an application error with Event ID:1000 indicating a fault with the application ‘svchost.exe_AppXSvc’.
Please note that AppX Deployment Service (AppxSvc) being in an invalid state could also cause other symptoms like the Start Menu to close unexpectedly due to registration issues.

August 2024 security update might impact Linux boot in dual-boot setup devices
| Status | Originating update | History |
|---|---|---|
| Mitigated | OS Build 19045.4780 KB5041580 2024-08-13 | Last updated: 2024-09-20, 12:41 PT Opened: 2024-08-21, 18:33 PT |
After installing the August 2024 Windows security update, (KB5041580) or the August 2024 preview update, you might face issues with booting Linux if you have enabled the dual-boot setup for Windows and Linux in your device. Resulting from this issue, your device might fail to boot Linux and show the error message “Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation. Something has gone seriously wrong: SBAT self-check failed: Security Policy Violation.”
The August 2024 Windows security and preview updates apply a Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) setting to devices that run Windows to block old, vulnerable boot managers. This SBAT update will not be applied to devices where dual booting is detected. On some devices, the dual-boot detection did not detect some customized methods of dual-booting and applied the SBAT value when it should not have been applied.
IMPORTANT: This known issue only occurs with the installation of the August 2024 security and preview updates. The September 2024 security update (KB5043064) and later updates do not contain the settings that caused this issue. If you install the September 2024 update, you don’t need to apply the workaround below.
Workaround:
If your Linux becomes unbootable after installing the August 2024 security or preview updates, you can recover your Linux system by following these instructions.
Important: This documentation contains information about how to modify the registry. Make sure that you back up the registry before you modify it. Make sure that you know how to restore the registry if a problem occurs. For more information about how to back up, restore, and modify the registry, see How to back up and restore the registry in Windows. Also, note that modifying firmware settings incorrectly might prevent your device from starting correctly. Follow these instructions carefully and only proceed if you are confident in your ability to do so.
- Boot into your device’s firmware settings.
- Disable Secure Boot (steps vary by manufacturer).
- Boot into Linux.
- Open the terminal and run the below command:
sudo mokutil --set-sbat-policy delete
- Enter your root password if prompted.
- Boot into Linux once more.
- In the terminal, run the below command:
mokutil --list-sbat-revocations
- Ensure the list shows no revocations.
- Reboot into the firmware settings.
- Re-enable Secure Boot.
- Boot into Linux. Run the below command:
mokutil --sb-state
- The output should be “SecureBoot enabled”. If not, retry step d).
- Boot into Windows.
- Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run:
reg add HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\SecureBoot\SBAT /v OptOut /d 1 /t REG_DWORD
At this point, you should now be able to boot into Linux or Windows as before. It’s a good time to install any pending Linux updates to ensure your system is secure.
NOTE: On Windows-only systems, after installing the September 2024 or later updates, you can set the registry key documented in CVE-2022-2601 and CVE-2023-40547 to ensure the SBAT security update is applied. On systems that dual-boot Linux and Windows, there are no additional steps necessary after installing the September 2024 or later updates.
Next Steps: We are working on a final resolution that will be available in a future Windows update. We recommend you install the September 2024 update or later Windows updates to avoid this issue.
Affected platforms:
- Client: Windows 11, version 23H2; Windows 11, version 22H2; Windows 11, version 21H2; Windows 10, version 22H2; Windows 10, version 21H2; Windows 10 Enterprise 2015 LTSB
- Server: Windows Server 2022; Windows Server 2019; Windows Server 2016; Windows Server 2012 R2; Windows Server 2012
