Bug fixes and Improvements

This patch carries changes and bug fixes that from KB5010415 dated 15/02/2022 furthermore addresses the following issues

  • Addresses a known issue that occurs when you attempt to reset a Windows device and its apps have folders that contain reparse data, such as Microsoft OneDrive or Microsoft OneDrive for Business. When you select Remove everything, files that have been downloaded or synced locally from Microsoft OneDrive might not be deleted. Some devices might take up to seven (7) days after you install this update to fully address the issue and prevent files from persisting after a reset. For immediate effect, you can manually trigger Windows Update Troubleshooter using the instructions in Windows Update Troubleshooter.

Known Issues

Symptoms Workaround
If you have installed the version using a custom ISO image or custom offline media might there will be a problem related to Microsoft Edge. The legacy version of this browser will be removed but the Chromium version will not be installed.  The problem occurs when the ISO images or custom offline media are created by slipstreaming this update into the image without having first installed the standalone SSU dated 29/03/2021 or later.

Remark – In case, you have connected straight to Windows Update to receive updates the system would not have been not affected. For example, Windows Update for Business.

If you don’t want to encounter this issue first slipstream Servicing Stack Update 29/03/2021 or later into the custom offline media or ISO image. Then slipstream the Cumulative Update. For this purpose, you will have to unpack the SSU from the combination of LCU and SSU for Windows 10 20H2 and 2004. Extract the Servicing Stack Update using the steps –

Unpack the cab from the msu via this command line (via the package for KB5011487 as an instance): expand Windows10.0-KB5011487-x64.msu /f:Windows10.0-KB5011487-x64.cab <destination path>

Unpack the Servicing Stack Update from the earlier extracted cab via this command line: expand Windows10.0-KB5011487-x64.cab /f:* <destination path>

You will then get the SSU cab, in this instance named SSU-19044.1586-x64.cab. Slipstream this file into your offline image first, then the Latest Cumulative Update

Once you received the 21/06/2021 (KB5003690) update, you might not be able to install new updates dated 06/07/2021 (KB5004945) or later. Instead, you will encounter PSFX_E_MATCHING_BINARY_MISSING. To know detail go to – KB5005322.
Subsequent to obtaining this patch, an authentication problem occurs when connecting to devices in an untrusted domain via Remote Desktop. Actually, the connections might be unable to authenticate through smart card authentication. Instead, an error shows up saying – “Your credentials did not work. The credentials that were used to connect to [device name] did not work. Please enter new credentials.”. Either you may also get the error “The login attempt failed” in red. This problem is settled through KIR aka Known Issue Rollback. Kindly remember that it might consume a maximum of 24 hours for the resolution to propagate automatically to non-managed personal devices and non-managed business devices. However, you can reboot to lessen the time. Enterprise-managed users should download and install a special Group Policy from the following link –
