Improvements

This security update includes improvements. Below is a summary of the key issues that this update addresses when you install this KB. If there are new features, it lists them as well. The bold text within the brackets indicates the item or area of the change we are documenting.

  • [AppContainer] Printers do not work as you expect when you use them in a restricted setting, like AppContainer.

  • [BitLocker] You might not be able to decrypt a BitLocker data drive. This occurs when you move that drive from a newer version of Windows to an older version.

  • ​​​​​​​[Windows Installer] When it repairs an application, the User Account Control (UAC) does not prompt for your credentials. After you install this update, the UAC will prompt for them. Because of this, you must update your automation scripts. Application owners must add the Shield icon. It indicates that the process requires full administrator access. To turn off the UAC prompt, set the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\Installer\DisableLUAInRepair registry value to 1. The changes in this update might affect automatic Windows Installer repairs; see Application Resiliency: Unlock the Hidden Features of Windows Installer.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

  • [Windows Server 2019 (known issue)] Some devices slow down, stop responding, and have high CPU usage. This is most likely to occur with Cryptographic Services. A few companies report that the issue occurs when antivirus software scans the %systemroot%\system32\catroot2 folder for Windows updates.

  • [Dual boot of Windows and Linux (known issue)] Linux might fail to start up when you turn on dual-boot setup for Windows and Linux on your device. The error message is, “Verifying shim SBAT data failed: Security Policy Violation. Something has gone seriously wrong: SBAT self-check failed: Security Policy Violation.” See the full guidance in CVE-2022-2601 and CVE-2023-40547.

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

Windows 10 servicing stack update (KB5043126) - 17763.6289

This update makes quality improvements to the servicing stack, which is the component that installs Windows updates. Servicing stack updates (SSU) ensure that you have a robust and reliable servicing stack so that your devices can receive and install Microsoft updates. 

Known issues in this update

Microsoft is not currently aware of any issues with this update.​​​​​​​

How to get this update

Before you install this update

Microsoft now combines the latest servicing stack update (SSU) for your operating system with the latest cumulative update (LCU). SSUs improve the reliability of the update process to mitigate potential issues while installing the LCU. For general information about SSUs, see Servicing stack updates and Servicing Stack Updates (SSU): Frequently Asked Questions

Prerequisite:

You must install the August 10, 2021 SSU (KB5005112) before installing the LCU.
