The product group released the February 2024 Cumulative Update for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition.
Monthly SharePoint Server Subscription edition updates are released as a single unified “uber” package containing both the language independent and language dependent fixes. Language independent and language dependent fixes will no longer be released separately. This is similar to the full server packages released for SharePoint 2013.
The KB article for February 2024 CU will be available at the following location in a couple of hours:
- KB 5002560 – February 2024 Update for SharePoint Server Subscription Edition
The download for February 2024 CU is available through the following link:
It is irrelevant which language you pick on the drop down in download center. It will always download the same package.
After installing the fix you need to run the SharePoint Products Configuration Wizard on each machine in the farm. If you prefer to run the command line version psconfig.exe ensure to have a look here for the correct options.
Please ensure to have a look at the SharePoint Patching Best Practices before applying new fixes.
SharePoint Server Subscription Edition February 2024 CU Build Number: 16.0.16731.20526

Hi Stefan,
We updated our SharePoint Farm to February 2024 CU and we noticed to major problems for us:
1. For some reason, Display templates won’t load custom css files for anonymous users (even though its published correctly)
2. Pages load extremely slow on updated servers. It seems like the page waits for all items to load and then shows up (Anonymous and authenticated)
We’re opening a ticket for those with hope we’ll find a solution as we found about it in production.

We’ve opened a ticket and after some investigation we found that it’s a bug in this (or older) version of some OOB JS files (specifically init.js) which has and issue while loading in anonymous context.
It’s currently being investigated by the product group.
I’ll let you know once we have an update about this

Any update on this issue? Are you able to work with Microsoft to resolve this issue? We are planning to update our SP SE servers with Feb 2024 CU. Thanks.

Hi,
We’ve got an update that this issue was probably fixed by March 2024 CU.
We still haven’t tested it yet.
We’ll test it soon on lower environments and post an update.

Tnx for it!

Hello Stefan,
we installed cu February 2024 sharepoint SE. We have many users who are no longer able to access the sites they are tracking. /_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx
An authentication pop-up constantly appears which prevents access to tracked sites. This page remains empty: https://partage-fichiers.inrae.fr/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx?v=following with the authentication pop.
Thank you in advance

Hi Lavergne,
I would recommend to open a support case to ensure that this can be analyzed in more detail.
Cheers,
Stefan
