2019-02 Security Only Quality Update for Windows 7 (KB4486564)
“The update does not apply to your computer.” ??? This is the first time…
Thank you anyway Martin.
> Microsoft released Servicing Stack Updates for supported versions of Windows.
None were released today.
Are you certain? Microsoft published Servicing Stack Updates for Win 10 v1607, 1703, 1709 and 1803.
https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/security-guidance/advisory/ADV990001
Service Stack for Win10, 8.1, 7 and servers
No, sorry, I’m not certain about no SSUs; it now seems the ADV990001 page has issues refreshing:
https://portal.msrc.microsoft.com/en-us/security-guidance/advisory/ADV990001
(but I don’t think there’s one for 1809 today)
The first hour or so is always problematic as you may run into all kinds of caching or publishing delays or issues.
Yep, thanks. Sorry for the misinformation.
You do have “Microsoft Windows Security Updates *January* 2019” near the top of this February page though. ;-)
Hey,
How about express updates for win2016 servers which were anounced to be reenabled in 2018 november. Am I only one who still can’t see these updates in WSUS and SCCM?
Ah, time to roll the dice again.
Thanks, Martin, For this monthly article hopefully Windows 10 version 1803 will soon automatically kick in to update, this month 29 vulnerabilities (from which 3 seem to be critical & also 26 who are important.). Every month I am thinking “Yet again a crazy high amounts of fixes again this month.
Title should really be: “Microsoft Windows Bugs Updates February 2019 overview”…….
Thanks again Martin for the details.
Whoa! I have set aside all of the Windows hard drives to my many LInux installs.
3 of these would need to be redone from before w7sp1 to resell with Windows.
I guess they will go with Linux or be stripped & recycled.
Thanks M$…..
Does anyone know if this months updates include telemtry/diagnostics for Windows 7, I just got rid of all of them last month Thanks to an article here at Ghacks with a link to Tweakhound and don’t want anymore from Microsoft. I’m almost tempted to turn off Windows Updates early since there’s less than a year left and would if it wasn’t for Microsoft Security Essentials.
KB4487085 for XP/POSReady 2009 is broken/incorrectly packaged with vista/7 files/components causing boot failures and other app crashes and must be uninstalled to regain functionality.
KB4486463 for XP/POSReady 2009 is broken on uniprocessor/single core/non-HT installs causing looping repeat installs.
We have found an issue with KB4487085 where you get a ‘The procedure entry point sprintf_s could not be located in the dynamic link library msvcrt.dll’ error, even though msvcrt.dll isn’t included in the update.
You have to uninstall it to fix it.
Made our helpdesk very busy this morning.
whats the best way to uninstall about 800 PCs? this is affecting our machines.
KB4487085 no longer shows on the AU yellow shield.
KB4487085 has been re-released (V2):
http://download.windowsupdate.com/d/msdownload/update/software/secu/2019/02/windowsxp-kb4487085-v2-x86-embedded-enu_667f051ffe98ff99495e9b6ede2b8c321aba1ca3.exe
Also available via AU/WU/MU (clears it if previously hidden as per usual)
Package files are correctly platformed and versioned now – tested fine
Both KB4486563 (Win7 security monthly quality rollup) and KB4486474 (IE11 cumulative security update) broke our Centricity RIS software today; it’s a medical record system that runs inside IE11. If users click the “Tools” button inside the application, they immediately get kicked out back to the login page so none of the affected users could scan or view documents.
The only fix I could find was to uninstall both updates, as uninstalling only one or the other wouldn’t fix it. Didn’t see any event viewer entries, either. Wish there was an easy way to tell MS about this but there’s no Windows 7 feedback hub.
Yeah, here also a web page stopped working in IE (compatibility view, it is an ancient page)
Are 1809 LTSC updates coming through WSUS yet? I have “LTSB” checked off and the only 1809 updates I see are .net FrameWork updates. No CU’s are coming through.
Just did the latest Windows 7 update and now I do not have wireless capability on my laptop. Have done all of the suggestions I can find online and nothing has worked to restore the wifi. So now am doing a system restore to before the latest update. If it doesn’t work, I am really going to be frustrated more than I already am.
I did uninstall the updates and restarted the laptop and still no wifi. It worked just fine until the laptop restarted after the update. Am I the only one?
Update: I don’t know what did the trick, but I did a System Restore, deleted the adapters, restarted the computer, plus a couple other things again that I originally did, and was able to restore the wireless capability. Whew! I know just enough to get me into trouble, and sometimes out of trouble.
can anyone fix “The procedure entry point GetDateFormatEx could not be located in the dynamic link library KERNEL32.dll.” mine is Windows XP
Remove the KB4487085 patch/update.
My web application is not loading properly. I am browsing it using its IP. I have tried adding it up among Trusted site. Still doesn’t work.
4486474 appears to have stopped IE from rendering images with a backslash in the path in our legacy application.
KB4487085 has been re-released (V2):

Please assist on checking on this issue as almost 2000 machines are having the same error on installing KB4486463 via sccm
It is also saying on the Error Description: “Software update still detected as actionable after apply” in sccm status.
As per checking on the machine, KB4486463 is already installed on it.
