Take Action: Out-of-band update to address cloud‑backed storage application issues
Microsoft released today a resolution for an issue observed after installing the January 2026 Windows security update. This issue may cause applications that open or save files stored in cloud‑backed locations to become unresponsive or display errors. Some installations of Outlook may also become unresponsive and fail to open when PST files are stored in cloud‑backed storage such as OneDrive. An out-of-band (OOB) update was released today, January 24, 2026, to address this issue. This cumulative update includes all protections and improvements from the January 2026 Windows security update released January 13, 2026, as well as from the OOB update released on January 17, 2026 (which introduced fixes for two known issues: remote desktop connections and hibernation failures). This OOB update is available through Windows Update for Windows 11 devices running the updates released this month. To install it, open Settings > Windows Update, and select Download and install. Note that this update will show up in Windows Update only if you have installed one of the updates released in January that caused this issue. Some devices may install the update automatically. For supported versions of Windows Server and Windows 10, the OOB update is available from the Microsoft Update Catalog. Refer to the KB articles below for detailed information and installation steps.
