April 4, 2017, update for Project 2013 (KB3178713)

Improvements and fixes

This update includes the following improvements and fixes:

• Consider the following scenario:
  

• • You install either of the following updates that target Internet Explorer.
    

  • • October 2016 security monthly quality rollup for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1

    • October 2016 Security Only Quality Update for Windows 7 SP1 and Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1
      

  • After this, you use one of the following features in Project:
    

  • • Task Inspector.

    • Import Project Wizard.
      

    • Import Resources Wizard.
      

    • Deliverables.
      

  In this situation, the given feature pane isn't displayed as expected.

• In some circumstances, leveling on a week-by-week basis pushes tasks to the end of time (12/31/2149). Meanwhile, the leveling operation takes a long time to complete, and Project 2013 is unresponsive during that time.
  

• When you open a project file from a SharePoint site through the Recent menu in Project 2013, the file is opened with read/write access, and you are not prompted to check out the project even though the Require documents to be checked out before they can be edited? SharePoint option is enabled.
  

• When you assign a task to a resource with a max units 0, the assignment units is unexpectedly assigned as 100%.
  

• Removing the start date from a resource assignment may cause the start date of the task to reschedule to "as soon as possible", and this may cause huge leading splits on the assignment.
  

• When you edit an assignment finish date from a Task From type view, Project 2013 may crash.
  

• When you open the Build Team dialog box in Project 2013 and enable the Online status next to name display option, Project may crash.
