• Security patches KB 3205394, 3206632, 3205386 crash Active Directory Admin Center

  Reports are spreading.

  So, anybody care to guess how Microsoft will handle this problem? We appear to have three Win10 cumulative updates and four Win7/8.1 monthly patches, all with the same bug. It’s not a big deal, unless you’re using the Active Directory Admin Center (or SCCM).

  I see a few possibilities:

  • “Patch” ADAC (which probably isn’t broken)
  • Post a manual workaround and forget about it
  • Post hotfixes for the Win10 versions, or at least 1607
  • Re-release the Win7 and 8.1 patches

  Let’s see how MS reacts.

  Thanks to Paul and MH.

• Windows 10 1607 patch KB 3206632 solves the ‘dropped internet connection’ bug

  In general, yesterday’s cumulative update to Win10 Anniversary Update – build 14393.576 – is behaving itself. As far as I can see, it solves that mysterious internet connection dropping bug.

  A few problems remain.

  Oy. I’m seeing even more misinformation posted. Could somebody knock these folks upside the head?

  See any other “Microsoft broke DHCP with a recent Windows update” drivel? We don’t know how the bug originated, but it most certainly didn’t result from a “recent Windows update.” Please post a link in the comments. Fake news. Mumble mumble.
