Improvements and fixes 

This security update contains improvements and fixes for the following nonsecurity issues in SharePoint Server Subscription Edition:

  • This update improves accessibility by enabling keyboard navigation to column headers in the SPList Quick Edit view.

  • This update resolves an issue in which pages don't load because certain user controls are flagged as unsafe for security. After you install this fix, you can explicitly trust the affected controls by configuring the appropriate custom farm property, (AllowedTagPrefixesWhichAreNotWebControlsList). 

  • This update fixes an issue in which customers encounter a “Sorry, something went wrong” screen when they update settings in the Configure and Health SA page. It also resolves a problem in which PowerShell incorrectly reports a “Database already exists” error, even if customers are only updating settings against an existing database.
