• Patch Lady – KB 4103718 no longer lists “investigation” note

    Posted on May 25, 2018 at 01:30 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Remember that KB that was updated to showcase that Microsoft was investigating the networking issues?

    https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4103718/windows-7-update-kb4103718

    This has been removed from this KB and appears to have been updated today to remove this note:

     

    Microsoft is aware that some customers have reported that network drivers are intentionally uninstalled, then fail to reinstall after applying the May 8, 2018 update. This can result in the loss of network connectivity.

    Microsoft is presently investigating and will provide a status update when the investigation is complete.

    I haven’t seen as many reports in the last few days of networking issues, but I’m not sure if that’s due to folks holding off on updating.  I can tell you on my several Windows 7 machines I have not seen an issue with networking.

    As always, when you go to install, be prepared to roll back.

    Updated note:  My apologies if I didn’t make this clear:  The patch had no change.  All that happened was a documentation change where they removed the investigation note.  However we have no final word on what happened.  All I know is that in my personal testing/patching on my Windows 7 under my control none had issues with networking.
