Update detail information
Prerequisites
To apply this update, you must have April 2014 update rollup for Windows RT 8.1, Windows 8.1, and Windows Server 2012 R2 (2919355) installed in Windows Server 2012 R2.
Registry information
To apply this update, you don't have to make any changes to the registry.
Restart requirement
You may have to restart the computer after you apply this update.
Update replacement information
This update doesn't replace a previously released update.
Status
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.
Cause
This issue occurs because the Winlogon service tries to start the Group Policy Client service during logon. If other services are starting and the start takes a long time, the start of the Group Policy Client service has to queue until those services finish the startup. That delays the user logon.Â
