"As a workaround, stop the Session Recording Monitoring service, install the Microsoft security update, and enable the Session Recording Monitoring service," explains a Citrix support bulletin. The KB5053606 update includes fixes for numerous bugs in Windows 10, including one that caused the OpenSSH service not to start and prevent connections. After installing the January 2025 and later Windows updates may fail if Citrix Session Recording Agent (SRA) version 2411 is installed on the device. Microsoft has released the KB5053606 cumulative update for Windows 10 22H2 and Windows 10 21H2, which fixes numerous bugs, including one preventing SSH connections. The Windows 10 KB5053606 update is mandatory as it contains Microsoft's March 2025 Patch Tuesday security updates, which fix six actively exploited zero-day vulnerabilities. Devices with certain Citrix components installed might be unable to complete the January 2025 Windows security update installation. Windows 10 users can also manually download and install the KB5053606 update from the Microsoft Update Catalog. However, as this update is mandatory, it will automatically start installing in Windows once you check for updates. A complete list of fixes can be found in the KB5053606 support bulletin and last month's KB5052077 preview update bulletin.
