Build 25281, Windows Security Icon/Shortcut missing from System Tray after KB5007651 Platform update Version 1.0.2301.24001.

Anonymous

On Jan 24, 2023, W.U. downloaded and updated Windows security with this KB5007651 (Version 1.0.2301.24001).

After this update the security icon on the system tray showed a yellow warning triangle, and then the icon completely disappeared after a reboot.

No way to get the icon back on the System Tray. 🤷‍♂️

I can still open security if I search for it in settings, but there is no apparent reason for the shortcut on the system tray to be missing.

It looks like starting with Build 25272 the windows security updates are messed up and out of sync with the currently installed windows Build.

I could reproduce the same issue restoring a backup of Build 25281 and then going through W.U. checking for updates, the same scenario repeated again.

Right after the update shows yellow warning on security icon:

Everything green here, but Firewall & network protection is missing, that may be the reason for the yellow warning.

I appear to have the security update to 25290.

And another PC updated by W.U. from 25227.1000 to 25284.1000.

No sign of any of those 2301 kb5007651. Really weird criteria for testing. 😎

Why on some machines and not others? Perhaps MS pulled those back, who knows? 🤷‍♂️

Good morning,

I just did yet another test.

Upgraded one PC from Beta 22623.1245 to Dev 25284.1000.

Before the upgrade I verified that SecurityHealth folder was empty.

None of those KB5007651 were downloaded or installed after the upgrade.

I checked for updates several times and it is not getting any of those Security App updates.

We'll see if it will ever get any in a day or two. 😎🤷‍♂️

Currently it just shows the Security App Version installed by the 25284 upgrades, none of those 2301 folders in SecurityHealth folder, nor the SecurityHealthSetup.exe. 😉

Hi fg,

I managed to stopped KB5007651 while online with and without updates paused but there are consequences, the icon is still missing and Security doesn't open anymore. 🤷‍♂️

Paused updates after those 3 to avoid 25284

May not be worth it to you but if you're interested, I will try to retrace the steps if I can. 🤣

Hi Sibro,

Thanks, but I'm all set for now.

I only had the problems when those updates came down while still at Build 25281, security works fine with Build 25284 even with those kb5007651 updates installed.

I have one Dev System that never downloads KB5007651, I still cannot figure out why, but it works fine without those 2 updates. 🤷‍♂️

The only difference I can think of is that it was a more recent upgrade to Dev from a previous Beta 22623.xxx, no idea if that is a factor for this different behavior. 😎🤷‍♂️

The other 2 have both 2301.7001 and 2301.24001 and work fine with Build 25284.

We'll see what happens with the next build.

I hope MS wakes up. 🤣🤐

B.T.W.

None of these issues on my old non-compliant laptop. 🤣🤣
