Group police objects were utterly destroyed in our environment by KB5017308. Microsoft needs to recruit some QA. This is absurd beyond belief. We invested a lot of money in Enterprise editions just to receive poor updates like these.
No issues to report on two Windows 8.1 Pro systems.
After taking a Macrium image of each system, installed the Servicing Stack Update first (KB5017398) downloaded from the Microsoft Catalog. Then via Windows Update installed the Monthly Rollup (KB5017367).
The End of Support (EOS) notification tasks (Microsoft implemented in the July updates) continue to remain disabled.
Martin, this .NET update is also for Win10 21H2

@ Martin,
Under the heading “Executive summary” it states: “Security updates are also available for .Net And Visual Studio, .Net Framework….”. but the word “Security” isn’t mentioned anywhere under the heading “NET Framework” further down the page..
There are “Security and Quality NET updates”, but these only appear under the heading “Non-security updates”.
I’m confused…. :(
Thanks, Martin, for helping me understandably update to the Windows 10 pro. version 21H2 (OS Build 19044.2006)
Do I understand it correctly that the Windows Server, version 20H2 reached the end of service on August 9, 2022. Only Windows 10 Enterprise and Education, Windows 10 IoT Enterprise, Windows 10 Enterprise multi-session, and Windows 10 on Surface Hub will continue to receive security service updates.
KB5017500 (Windows 10 Version 21H2) is installed as a preview update of .NET Framework. At least no BSODs as lately happened to the old PC, of course programs and settings are the same as before.
BSOD is likely to require driver update. Any drivers from Microsoft will be generic. Manufacturers sometimes have variances. Check for drivers updates on the manufacturer’s website. Always. While visiting, also check for BIOS update. In the case of drivers and BIOS, the adage is not ‘don’t fix it if it ain’t broke’. The adage is ‘fix it before it breaks but fix it with manufacturer’s components’.
Ah! Surely it was a driver problem from the reports but with generic error code. You missed the word ‘old’. What you just wrote I consider to be the practice, at least with drivers.
Since the BSODs were only occurring with Windows Update in a PC that was working totally fine and where I have tried everything including testing the hardware, I will have updates anxiety for quite a while.
If I hadn’t broken it I would have started exploring Linux for a smooth transition, which I will try as soon as the assembled one is here.
To be honest, Microsoft has literally annoyed me. It is saved only because I am lazy to start from scratch and because of the wide availability of programs. But the desire to get this company and its new policies off my back is crossing the line and I’d rather eventually give something up.
There is an unexpected issue noticed in this update for me: if you have two printers both identical, W11 is unable to know which one of them is the desired one to print the document. I meant, if I send to print it at printer 1, it prints at printer 1, however if I send to print it at printer 2, it prints at printer 1 again. With Ubuntu Linux 22 there is no problem. Thanks @Martin for this article. :]
Oh , I have found the answer already : KB 5017373.
There is not any IE update ?
IE has reached EOL: https://www.ghacks.net/2022/03/18/internet-explorer-11-retires-in-three-months/
What is the 2022-09 Security Only Quality Update for Windows 7? Which KB number does it have?
Also ‘fixed’ is the Windows Media Center problem first introduced with the July Rollup (which crashes WMC when trying schedule a recording).
Thank God! Shows you how many people use WMC to record TV, doesn’t it? See one of the earlier discussions here: https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/forum/all/2022-07-security-monthly-quality-rollup-for/c84ab7a0-a6eb-4613-b9c7-21db1f89a58e
When WMC wasn’t fixed in Aug, I decided to look at all the alternatives I could find, most had multiple problems including clunky 1990 style interfaces, a complicated tuner setup and hard to import guide settings as well as being unable to record and watch the same program at the same time, etc. Which just goes to show what a true gem Microsoft created with this product. Which if I’m honest with myself, I certainly didn’t realize till I checked out the alternatives.
