  • Report: The October Win7 Monthly rollup, KB 4462923, forces TLS 1.0

    Just got a report from reader MB:

    I’m not sure what others are experiencing but, at my place of employment, KB4462923 appears to have changed the system default crypto security protocol type to TLS 1.0 even when TLS 1.0 is disabled both client-side and server-side in the system registry.  Since we have TLS 1.0 disabled on all of our production servers (Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1), KB4462923 was responsible for a plethora of application failures from basic database mail delivery failures to application connectivity failures with Microsoft Azure cloud solutions; most definitely a showstopping bug for our business.

    Can anybody replicate or explain?
