Patch Lady – More updates released to fix March patches

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

I’m seeing more updates released to fix side effects introduced into the March updates.

First up is Server 2016/Windows 10 1607:

Addresses an issue that can cause operational degradation or a loss of environment because of connectivity issues in certain environment configurations after installing KB4088889 (released March 22, 2018) or KB4088787 (released March 13, 2018).

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4096309

Keeping in mind that BOTH updates that are referred to above, KB4088889 and KB4088787 state that “Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update.” Well if you are not aware of any issues with those updates, how are you then releasing an update to fix issues that you clearly know about?

Then I’m seeing releases fixing BSOD issues:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4099468/stop-error-0xab-when-you-log-off-a-windows-server-2012-session

I’m still not seeing any confirmation that the Windows 7/Server 2008 R2 release earlier today KB4100480 has also fixed the SMB memory leak and the networking issues introduced in the prior March updates. Based on what I’ve seen stated on twitter by various folks it appears the updates released will still cause memory leaks and need the script run ahead of time in order to ensure no loss of networking/static IP upon install.

Here’s hoping April patching is better than March.
