Now You: Have you installed the new update (updates) that Microsoft released in August? What is your experience so far?
I’ve applied this one also on LTSC. Currently still cleaning the image via DISM. Everything went and works well.
Installed as well, did not run into any issues on a test system running Windows 10 version 1809. Still no sign of the 1903 update on that machine though.
Gunter Born : But I received user feedback, that the issue isn’t completely fixed.
MS has also released VBA bug fixes for Win10 v1507/LTSB 2015, v1607/LTSB 2016 and v1703 as well. the 1803 and 1903 versions have not yet gotten their VBA fixes, Martin. woody has just mentioned them recently in his blog:
