Corrected fixlet ID

  • MAJOR [ID:505360301] MS25-MAR: Cumulative Update for Microsoft server operating system version 21H2 - Windows Server 2022 - KB5053603 (x64)

Fixlet is missing the CPE mime field. Automation relying on detection via CPE will miss this fixlet currently.

Correction on which fixlet is missing the CPE field.
ID:505363801 DOES have CPE
ID:505360301 does not have it

I have actioned KB5053598 on a Windows 11 Version 24H2 terminal that had not been patched before, but it is still running and has been for over an hour.
What is the solution regarding this?
