2021-09 Cumulative Update KB5005565 Supersedence issue

[FN-GM]

Hello,

 

I am looking to install KB5005565 on Windows 10 2004. Reading this article on the Microsoft website there is a prerequisite.

 

If your devices do not have the May 11, 2021 update (KB5003173) or later LCU, you must install the special standalone August 10, 2021 SSU (KB5005260).

 

This applies to a number of our machines. Particularly those recently imaged as we don't have the latest updates on the image.

 

I head over the SCCM to find KB5005260 has been superseded. It is telling me it has been superseded by KB5005565 (the update I am trying to install in the link above). The Windows Update Catalog confirms this. I am stuck in a loop! I can't install KB5005565 without KB5005260. SCCM won't let me deploy the superseded update.

 

 

Does anyone have any thoughts please?

 

Thanks

I don't use SCCM, so can't help you with the specifics of getting around that...

 

But the KB is available as a standalone download from WU catalogue:

 

https://www.catalog.update.microsoft.com/Search.aspx?q=KB5005260

 

I know it's all a bit manual and not what you're looking for, but maybe to test one machine?

Hello,

 

I did actually install it manually on my test machines and it worked fine. I could push it out via SCCM (need to figure out a query). Ideally I will look for a way to override SCCM telling me I can’t download it.

 

Did Microsoft make a mistake here or is this me missing something? I can’t be the only one facing this issue surely?

 

Cheers.

Word of warning, some users have reported that KB5005565 can stop Excel and Adobe Reader opening certain files on network shares.

This has probably been one of the worst batch of patches I have ever done!

Hello,

 

Using this I have managed to reverse the Supersedence of KB5005260.
