+### Version 1.6.2 (1.6.241106002)
+
+This is a servicing release of the Windows App SDK that includes critical bug fixes for the 1.6 release.
+
+- Fixed an issue where reading the `AppWindow.ExtendsContentIntoTitleBar` property turns on custom titlebar rendering. For more info, see GitHub issue [#9988](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9988).
+- Fixed a potential crash during destruction of a `TextBox`/`RichEditBox`. For more info, see GitHub issue [#9070](https://github.com/microsoft/microsoft-ui-xaml/issues/9070).
+- Fixed an issue where `PackageDeploymentManager.IsPackageReadyOrNewerAvailable()` failed. For more info, see GitHub issue [#4817](https://github.com/microsoft/WindowsAppSDK/issues/4817).
+- Fixed an issue where `ScrollViewer` would leak.
+- Added detection for a rare scenario where the app stops rendering and never recovers.
+- Fixed an issue where `PackageDeploymentManager.RegisterPackageSetAsync()` requires URI when it should be optional to register by PackageFamilyName.
+- Fixed an install-time failure creating ApplicationData's Machine folder if an expected parent directory was missing.
+- Fixed an issue handling `<accesscontrol:AccessControl>` in AppxManifest.xml.
