Microsoft slips Task Manager and processor count fixes into Patch Tuesday

Microsoft’s KB5046617 Patch Tuesday update delivers security and quality fixes for Windows 11 24H2 and Windows Server 2025, including a correction to Task Manager’s zero-count bug when grouping by type, improvements for WSL Dev Drive access, and mitigation of installation delays. The patch also resolves serious stability issues on servers with 256+ logical processors and follows earlier remediation of fingerprint sensor unlock failures, while an unexpected upgrade from Windows Server 2019/2022 to 2025 has been mitigated.
