This issue is addressed in KB5020009. This update will not install automatically. To apply this update, you can check for updates and select the optional preview to download and install. If you cannot install this update, you can mitigate this issue on devices in Jordan by doing either of the following on October 28, 2022:
Important We recommend using ONLY the above workaround to mitigate the issue with time created by the new Daylight Savings Time in Jordan. We do NOT recommend using any other workaround, as they can create inconsistent results and might create serious issues if done incorrectly. |
After this update or a later Windows update is installed, domain join operations might be unsuccessful and error "0xaac (2732): NERR_AccountReuseBlockedByPolicy" occurs. Additionally, text stating "An account with the same name exists in Active Directory. Re-using the account was blocked by security policy" might be displayed. Affected scenarios include some domain join or re-imaging operations where a computer account was created or pre-staged by a different identity than the identity used to join or re-join the computer to the domain. For more information about this issue, see KB5020276—Netjoin: Domain join hardening changes. Note Consumer Desktop editions of Windows are unlikely to experience this issue. |
Please see KB5020276 for guidance on this issue. |
After installing this update, some types of Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) connections might have handshake failures. Note for developers: Affected connections might send multiple frames in a single input buffer. Specifically, one or more complete records with a partial record that is less than 5 bytes might be sent in a single buffer. When encountering this issue, your app will receive SEC_E_ILLEGAL_MESSAGE when the connection fails. |
To address this issue, install update KB5020449. Then, we recommend that you install the latest security update for your device. Note Update KB5020449 will not install automatically. To apply this update, check for updates and then choose the Optional update to download and install. |
