The January 2017 Cumulative Updates contain numerous hotfixes and improvements for SharePoint Foundation 2013, SharePoint Server 2013, Project Server 2013 and Office Web Apps Server 2013. The cumulative update package is multilingual and contains updates for all languages.
Before you start
Since June 2014 the Cumulative Updates for SharePoint products releases on a monthly basis.
Since May 2015 the server proofing tools are included in the cumulative updates.
This cumulative update includes all patches since the Service Pack 1 release, but not the Service Pack 1 itself. You must install the Service Pack 1 before installing this cumulative update. Read how-to install Service Pack 1.
Because of the file size the cumulative update package has been divided in three parts; ubersrv.exe, ubersrv_1.cab and ubersrv_2.cab. You have to put them all in the same folder.

SharePoint 2016 MinRole: Endpoint Failure when trying to invoke a Service Application
The release of SharePoint Server 2016 comes with an important change from an infrastructure point of view: The MinRole concept. While with SharePoint Server 2013 the Streamlined Topologies were state of the art, it now changed to the MinRole concept based on server roles. The role of a server is specified when you create a new farm or join a server to an existing farm. SharePoint automatically configures the services on each server based on the server's role. And this is where an undocumented change has its impact. While in SharePoint 2013 it was suggested to have the Central Administration on a Web Front-end Server you probably started the installation process with this server because you wanted to be able to access the Central Administration afterwards. When installing a SharePoint 2016 multi-server farm this procedure won't work anymore.
If you start an SharePoint Server 2016 farm installation with the Web Front-end role you will get the following error:
A failure was reported when trying to invoke a service application: EndpointFailure
Service Application Uri: urn:schemas-microsoft-com:sharepoint:service:6f0278ab61144ef2944089beda8d7840#authority=urn:uuid:4faf6f9591914a41aff51d3197f89407&authority=https://webfrontendserver:32844/Topology/topology.svc
Affected Endpoint: http://webfrontendserver:32843/6f0278ab61144ef2944089beda8d7840/MetadataWebService.svc
SharePoint is not able to provision other Service Application as for example the Managed Metadata Service Application because the Topology service is not available on the Web Front-end server. But the Topology service is mandatory to complete this action.
