NEW 8/5/21
EXPIRATION NOTICE

IMPORTANT As of 8/5/2021, this KB is no longer available from Windows Update, the Microsoft Update Catalog, or other release channels. We recommend that you update your devices to the latest security quality update.

UPDATED 11/10/20
For more information about the various types of Windows updates, such as critical, security, driver, service packs, and so on, please see the following article. To view other notes and messages, see the Windows 10, version 1607 update history home page.

Highlights

  • Updates the 2020 DST start date for the Fiji Islands to December 20, 2020.

  • Updates to improve security when using Microsoft Office products.

  • Updates to improve security when Windows performs basic operations.

Improvements and fixes

This security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

  • Allows administrators to use a Group Policy to enable Save Target As for users in Microsoft Edge IE Mode.

  • Allows you to restrict the JScript Scripting Engine to a process.

  • Address an issue that causes an application to stop working if the app uses a hook.

  • Addresses an issue that causes the Microsoft Management Console (MMC) Group Policy application to stop working when you are editing the Group Policy Security settings. The error message is, “MMC cannot initialize the snap-in.”

  • Addresses an issue with devices on which Credential Guard is enabled; if these devices use a Machine Bound certificate, authentication requests might fail. This occurs because Windows 2016 and Windows 2019 domain controllers add duplicate KeyID values to the msDS-KeyCredentialLink attribute of these devices.

  • Addresses an issue that might cause stop error 7E in nfssvr.sys on servers running the Network File System (NFS) service.

  • Addresses an issue with Remote Desktop Session Host (RDSH) connection brokers that prevents users from connecting to a Remote Desktop in collections. This issue occurs because of an access violation in tssdis.exe.

  • Addresses an issue that causes the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) Provider Host (WmiPrvSE.exe) to leak registry key handles when querying Win32_RDCentralPublishedDeploymentSettings.

  • Updates the 2020 DST start date for the Fiji Islands to December 20, 2020.

  • Addresses an issue that might cause Windows 10 devices that enable Credential Guard to fail authentication requests when they use the machine certificate.

  • Addresses an issue with incorrect Canonical Display Driver (CDD) buffer flushing, which degrades performance in Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) Windows 2000 Display Driver Model (XDDM) scenarios. This issue affects applications that use graphics processing units (GPU) to operate, such as Microsoft Teams, Microsoft Office, and web browsers.

  • Addresses a security vulnerability by preventing applications that run as a SYSTEM account from printing to local ports that point to a file. Failing print jobs log error 50, “The request is not supported.” in event ID 372 in the PrintService\Admin event log. To address this issue in the future, make sure your applications or services run as a specific user or service account.

  • Addresses an issue with remote procedure call (RPC) runtime that might cause memory to leak. As a result, performance degrades, which causes high CPU usage, slowness, or resource depletion.

  • Security updates to the Microsoft Scripting Engine, the Microsoft Graphics Component, the Windows Wallet Service, Windows Fundamentals, the Windows Kernel, and Windows Virtualization.

If you installed earlier updates, only the new fixes contained in this package will be downloaded and installed on your device.

For more information about the resolved security vulnerabilities, please refer to the new Security Update Guide website.

Windows Update Improvements

Microsoft has released an update directly to the Windows Update client to improve reliability. Any device running Windows 10 configured to receive updates automatically from Windows Update, including Enterprise and Pro editions, will be offered the latest Windows 10 feature update based on device compatibility and Windows Update for Business deferral policy. This doesn't apply to long-term servicing editions.

Known issues in this update

Symptom

Workaround

After installing KB4467684, the cluster service may fail to start with the error “2245 (NERR_PasswordTooShort)” if the group policy “Minimum Password Length” is configured with greater than 14 characters.

Set the domain default "Minimum Password Length" policy to less than or equal to 14 characters.

Microsoft is working on a resolution and will provide an update in an upcoming release.

After installing this update on domain controllers (DCs) and read-only domain controllers (RODCs) in your environment, you might encounter Kerberos authentication and ticket renewal issues. This is caused by an issue in how CVE-2020-17049 was addressed in these updates.

For specific symptoms and behaviors related to this issue, please see the Windows release health page. 

Note This issue only affects Windows Servers, Windows 10 devices and applications in enterprise environments.

This issue is resolved in KB4594441.

How to get this update

Before installing this update

Microsoft strongly recommends you install the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system before installing the latest cumulative update (LCU). SSUs improve the reliability of the update process to mitigate potential issues while installing the LCU and applying Microsoft security fixes. For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions.

If you are using Windows Update, the latest SSU (KB4576750) will be offered to you automatically. To get the standalone package for the latest SSU, search for it in the Microsoft Update Catalog
