The product group released the June 2024 Cumulative Update for SharePoint Server 2016 product family.

This CU also includes Feature Pack 1 which was released with December 2016 CU and Feature Pack 2 which was released with September 2017 CU.

The KB articles for June 2024 CU should be available at the following locations in a couple of hours:

• KB 5002604 – June 2024 Update for SharePoint Server 2016 (language independent)
  This is also a security update!
• There was no language dependent fix released this month.
  The most recent language dependent fix is KB 5002524 from December 2023 CU.
  If this is not yet installed on your Farm, you need to install it together with the language independent fix.

The downloads for June 2024 CU are available through the following links:

• Download June 2024 Update for SharePoint Server 2016 (language independent)
  This is also a security update!
• There was no language dependent fix released this month.
  The most recent language dependent fix is KB 5002524 from December 2023 CU.
  If this is not yet installed on your Farm, you need to install it together with the language independent fix.

Important: It is required to install both fixes (language dependent and independent) to fully patch a SharePoint server. This applies also to servers which do not have language packs installed. The reason is that each SharePoint installation includes a language dependent component together with a language independent component. If additional language packs are added later (only) the language dependent fix has to be applied again.

It is irrelevant which language you pick on the drop down in download center. Even the language dependent fixes are all in the same package for all languages.

After installing the fixes you need to run the SharePoint 2016 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.
