  • Fixed an issue with OpenType fonts that would not print in Win32 applications.
  • Fixed a memory leak with DNS Response Rate Limiting in LogOnly mode.

  • Addressed an IME issue with Japanese input in applications such as Microsoft Outlook.
  • Addressed Quality of Service QOS parameters for Bluetooth connections related to peripherals.
  • Fixed a SQL Server memory leak that would see memory usage grow over time when encrypting data using a symmetric key that has a certificate.
  • Fixed an authentication issue in wireless PEAP environments with SSO that would send two authentication requests instead of just one; this could result in premature accuont lockouts. To enable the changes, admins need to create the Dword value DisableAuthRetry with the value of 1 on HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetServicesRasManPPPEAP26
  • Fixed a roaming user profiles issue that caused the AppDataLocal and AppDataLocallow folders to synchronize incorrectly during logon and logoff.

  • Universal CRT Ctype family of functions improvements in regards to handling EOF as valid input.
  • Fixed additional time zone information issues.
  • Addresses an issue that causes devices within Active Directory or Hybrid AADJ++ domains to unexpectedly unenroll from Microsoft Intune or third-party MDM services after installing provisioning package updates (PPKG). This issue occurs on devices that are subject to the Auto MDM Enrollment with AAD Token Group Policy. If you ran the script Disable-AutoEnrollMDMCSE.PS1 as a workaround for this issue, run Enable-AutoEnrollMDMCSE.PS1 from a PowerShell window in Administrator mode after installing this update.
