The product group released the February 2026 Cumulative Update for SharePoint Workflow Manager.
This CU consists of a fix for SharePoint Workflow Manager and the SharePoint Workflow Manager client components which need to match SharePoint Workflow Manager.
The KB article for February 2026 CU will be available at the following location in a couple of hours:
- KB 5002814 – February 2026 Update for SharePoint Workflow Manager
The download for February 2026 CU is available through the following link:
- Download February 2026 Update for SharePoint Workflow Manager
- No new version of SharePoint Workflow Manager Client has been released with February CU
This CU requires SharePoint Workflow Manager Client version 16.0.19127.20336 to be installed
- on all servers in the Workflow Manager farm AND
- on all servers in the SharePoint Server farm
This is the same SPWFM client version that was shipped with the November 2025 CU. If version 16.0.19127.20336 is already installed from the November CU, there is no need to reinstall or update SPWFM client with this CU.
For detailed download and installation instructions see the KB article above.

Hi SharePointAdmin,
the link is correct – but the KB article is not yet published.
I some cases it take a couple of hours till they are published and replicated.
For this reason I have written in the blog post: “The KB article will be available at the following location in a couple of hours”
Cheers,
Stefan

I’m still getting the KB article link error a day later. Any idea when the KB article might be available?

Hi Fred,
yes – this is a known issue. There is a problem with the publishing system which is currently being investigated.
Aside from the links I shared above the following information might be interesting:
“This update resolves an issue in which the SharePoint Workflow Manager (SPWFM) wizard can’t run when you use an encrypted Microsoft SQL Server connection.”
Cheers,
Stefan

Ist es eigentlich notwendig oder empfehlenswert, nach dem Update vom Manager / Clients die Workflows nochmal neu zu veröffentlichen?

Hi Kevin,
This should not be required.

Hello Stefan,
currently im migrating from SP2019 to SPSE, new windows servers and new SQL servers but moving the databases of course. I have searched so long online but couldn’t find an answer to this: Can the Workflow manager databases be moved to a new SQL server and then remounted to the same farm or will i have to set up workflow manager from scratch and if so, will all current workflows break and have to be recreated?
Thank you!

Hi Philip,
in this case you need to use the desaster recovery instructions for SharePoint Workflow Manager:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/governance/sp-wf-mgr-farm-restore-disaster-recovery
Be aware that there is currently one problem:
In Step “Restore the Workflow Manager Services Farm” the “-InstanceDBConnectionString” parameter needs to be modified by removing the this part: “Asynchronous Processing=True;”
Cheers,
Stefan
