15 October 2023    |    Comments   Comments: 0

A new cumulative update (October 2023 CU) has been released for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.

SP Build:
16.0.16731.20252

Starting with the March 2023 CU, updates for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition are released as a single package (known as an Uber package) containing both language-independent and language-dependent fixes. Only one package needs to be installed to fully update the server.

SharePoint Subscription Edition CU – KB articles describing the CU:

  • KB 5002506 – October 2023 Update for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition

SharePoint Server Subscription Edition CU – CU download links:

After installation, remember to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard or the following command:

PSConfig.exe -cmd upgrade -inplace b2b -wait -cmd applicationcontent -install -cmd installfeatures -cmd secureresources -cmd services -install

Important notes

To speed up CU installation, I recommend following the guidance in How to speed up CU installation in SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.

The language you select when downloading the update does not matter because the same package is downloaded for every language.

Note for this CU:

SharePoint Server Subscription Edition must already be installed. Installation may require a computer restart.

This update is available solely as a manual download and installation from Microsoft Download Center.

Included fixes and improvements

The following overview summarizes the fixes and improvements in this CU based on the official Microsoft KB articles.

The unified update in KB 5002506 includes these SharePoint Server Subscription Edition fixes:

  • Fixes an issue where the AMSI upgrade action fails following installation of September 2023 KB5002474.

  • Fixes an issue where filtering a managed metadata column fails in libraries with more than 1,500 items after July 2023 KB5002424.

  • Fixes an issue where an invalid query produces no warning in the query builder’s Search Result Preview. The preview now warns when a query cannot be understood.

  • Fixes an issue where Export to Excel in a subfolder of a modern document library exports the whole library.

  • Fixes an issue where dragging email messages directly from Microsoft Outlook to a document library fails in Microsoft Edge and Google Chrome.

  • Fixes an issue where opening list attachments ignores the Open in the client application option.
