The ConfigMgr 2103 hotfix rollup KB10036164 has been released, and over 30 issues are addressed in this update. The SCCM 2103 hotfix KB10036164 is for customers who installed the globally available release or who were early adopters.

The SCCM 2103 hotfix rollup KB10036164 should be available in the Updates and Servicing node of the ConfigMgr console. If you don’t see the hotfix in the console, run Check for Updates from the console.

The hotfix KB10036164 applies to Configuration Manager 2103 installations only. If you are running an older version of SCCM, ensure you upgrade to SCCM 2103 to apply the hotfix.
