KB5094128 ntoskrnl.exe version wrong?
For update KB5094128 The list of updated files contains an ntoskrnl.exe with file version 10.0.20348.5257 which in my opinion should be 10.0.20348.5256. https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=23685...
Hi, I would treat this as a documentation or package metadata mismatch until you can confirm it on an installed system.
A practical way to validate it:
1. Install the update on a test server with the same OS build.
2. Check the actual file version of `C:\Windows\System32\ntoskrnl.exe`.
3. Compare `winver`, `Get-HotFix`, and the installed build number.
4. Check the CBS log if the file did not update as expected.
5. If your scanner depends on the file list, raise it with Microsoft Support or the scanner vendor.
The installed build and servicing state are more authoritative than a published file table if the two disagree.
