      Today night WSUS downloaded updated KB4519976 (SMQR) and KB4519972 (PMQR). Does anybody know what’s changed? Only metadata of binaries or what? Windows Catalog also contains updated files on 17.10.19.

      October 3, 2019 at 1:06 pm in reply to: Microsoft confirms printing bug in second September cumulative update for Win10 1903 #1973408

      Woody, I am using network printer Xerox WC 7845. Print driver is universal PS. Before installing September CU everything works fine.
      When I open any pdf document from network disks in Adobe Reader DC or FoxIt Reader and try to print, active window of program freezes and it is not even possible to force stop hang processes. a temporary solution to log off or reboot. But printing starts to work after reverting back before install of CU. Also the same issue in Internet Explorer when trying to call a print procedure. Freezes the active window of IE 11.

      Microsoft just publish new updates for printing issue before regular 2d Patch Tuesday.

      I’m in the same boat with you. Also have installed September updates on Win 8.1 and print issues began. Especially Adobe PDF and Internet Explorer 11. All is hanging. Reverted back to working state.

      May 21, 2019 at 3:02 pm in reply to: MS-DEFCON 3: Get Windows XP, Win7 and associated Servers patched #1719688

      We’ve had several machines where Skype for Business 2015 would crash upon launch, after receiving monthly patches.

      KB4464547 is the only Lync related patch.

      It is listed 3 times in in the “View installed updates” and all have the same install date.

      Not all machines experience the issue; it seems to be pretty random.

      I had uninstalled the KB and reboot, and Skype works again.

      Reinstall the patches, and Skype still works.

      I don’t see any listed “Known issues” on the MS KB page.

      Anybody else experiencing similar?

      Found hot topic on Reddit with May 14 security update of Skype 2015 for business.

      On test virtual PC I checked updates via WU for Outlook 2010 x64. Both updates were offered not checked. I chose both updates for install. Only KB4461585 installed. Another one (KB4461529)- not acceptable.

      KB4461585 is finally distributed via WU. So it’s interesting to know if KB4461585 cumulative update and replace previous KB4461529?! In description no info about it. Only recommendation do not uninstall KB4461529.
      Both updates are not checked in WU. What does it mean?
      I didn’t install KB4461529 because of DEFCON-2!

      Yes, you are correct! No problems with KB4461529 and Outlook 2010 x32!
