Microsoft Releases Windows 10 Cumulative Updates KB4499147 and KB4499162 

 

Microsoft has released two new cumulative updates for older versions of Windows 10, and they both included plenty of non-security bug fixes.

 

Today’s updates are KB4499147 for Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (version 1709) and KB4499162 for Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703).

What’s important to note is that neither the Fall Creators Update nor the Creators Update are supported for Home and Pro SKUs, so these updates are shipped only to devices powered by Enterprise, Education, and IoT Enterprise.

KB4499147 increases the OS build number to 16299.1182, and it resolves an issue causing looping redirects between Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11. There are also other fixes that are specifically aimed at enterprises, as this patch that resolves a sign-in error when using an empty or null password with Windows Defender Credential Guard enabled.

The full changelog is embedded in the box after the jump.Just one known issueCumulative update KB4499162 comes with the same changes, so it also resolves problems with Microsoft’s browsers, while also bringing improvements for the Microsoft Office productivity suite. One line of the changelog, again embedded below, states the following:

“Addresses an issue that causes Microsoft Office and other applications to prompt for a password after you change a user account password. This issue occurs on hybrid Azure Active Directory (AD) joined systems.”

Both updates come with a single known issue, and Microsoft says it’s working on a resolution and it’d be shipped in an upcoming update. This bug prevents certain operations, such as rename, on files or folders that are on a Cluster Shared Volume (CSV).

There are no reports of failed installs so far, but they are unlikely to make the rounds anyway given the two Windows 10 versions targeted by the new cumulative updates only run on a small number of devices.

Microsoft releases new patches for Windows 10 versions 1709 and 1703 

 

 

Microsoft released new patches for Windows 10 versions 1709 and 1703 yesterday, which are only available for Windows 10 Enterprise and Windows 10 Education editions. Indeed, these two versions of the OS have now reached end of support for Windows 10 Home and Pro users, but Microsoft is still offering one year of additional servicing for Enterprise and Education users.

 

These two new patches are optional, but all the quality fixes that are coming with them will be included in next month’s Patch Tuesday. For Windows 10 version 1709, the build 16299.1182 is bringing the following fixes:

• Addresses an issue with looping redirects between Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer 11.
• Updates wininet.dll to prevent the re-creation of File Transfer Protocol (FTP) control sessions.
• Addresses an issue that prevents the OS from loading new icon files if it encounters an icon file that has a bad format.
• Addresses an issue to set the date separator properly in the Japanese short date format. For more information, see KB4469068.
• Updates time zone information for Morocco.
• Updates time zone information for the Palestinian Authority.
• Addresses an issue in which Windows attempts to renew Azure Active Directory (AAD) token certificates when there is no internet connectivity. This issue occurs during AAD authentication and slows the performance of applications.
• Addresses an issue that may cause a temporary KRB_AP_ERR_MODIFIED Kerberos sign-in failure in applications and services configured to use a Group Managed Service Account (GMSA). This issue occurs after the automatic update of the service account password.
• Addresses an issue that causes a sign-in to fail with the error, “Incorrect Username or password” when using an empty or null password and Windows Defender Credential Guard is enabled.
• Addresses an issue that causes Microsoft Office and other applications to prompt for a password after you change a user account password. This issue occurs on hybrid Azure Active Directory (AD) joined systems.
• Addresses an issue with BranchCache when it is in distributed cache mode. BranchCache may use more disk space than assigned for the republication cache. To fully address the issue, devices that have exceeded the disk space assignments should empty BranchCache using the netsh branchcache flush command.
• Addresses an issue that may cause a Stop D1 error when you increase the random-access memory (RAM) capacity of a CPU (“hot add”) on a virtual machine.
• Addresses an issue that may cause event 7600 in the Domain Name System (DNS) server event log to contain an unreadable server name.
• Addresses an issue with Microsoft Edge that displays an error page when you go to a page that was previously posted.
• Addresses an issue with scrollLeft in Internet Explorer.
• Addresses an issue that causes rendering to stop working for elements.

For Windows 10 version 1703, the build 15063.1839 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4499162/windows-10-update-kb4499162) brings an almost similar list of improvements and fixes, and you can read the full list below:

• Updates time zone information for the Palestinian Authority.
