• Here comes August 2024 updates

    Posted on August 13, 2024 at 12:18 CDT by • Comment in the Forums

    Ready or not, here we go for the August updates.

    First up Windows 11 23H2/22H2 KB5041585

    Microsoft indicates it will be addressing the following issues:

    • [BitLocker (known issue)] A BitLocker recovery screen shows when you start up your device. This occurs after you install the July 9, 2024, update. This issue is more likely to occur if device encryption is on. Go to Settings > Privacy & Security > Device encryption. To unlock your drive, Windows might ask you to enter the recovery key from your Microsoft account.
    • [Lock screen] This update addresses CVE-2024-38143. Because of this, the “Use my windows user account” check box is not available on the lock screen to connect to Wi-Fi.
    • [NetJoinLegacyAccountReuse] This update removes this registry key. For more information refer to KB5020276—Netjoin: Domain join hardening changes.
    • [Secure Boot Advanced Targeting (SBAT) and Linux Extensible Firmware Interface (EFI)] This update applies SBAT to systems that run Windows. This stops vulnerable Linux EFI (Shim bootloaders) from running. This SBAT update will not apply to systems that dual-boot Windows and Linux. After the SBAT update is applied, older Linux ISO images might not boot. If this occurs, work with your Linux vendor to get an updated ISO image.

    Windows 10 22H2 KB5041580 

    Interestingly enough ALSO refers to those same issues being addressed…but only linked under the Windows 10 LTSC releases……I’ll be asking around as to what that means.

    As usual this is the time for us battle tested veterans to test and see how the waters are. For the rest of the Askwoody readership, put yourself on pause, ensure your backups are working and wait as I see what shakes out.
