AskWoody PlusFor the 5th month in a row after EOL in October 2020, Office 2010 got updates again. Five security updates have been released. It makes me wonder why and how long they will continue doing this (if so). I thought that after 3 months MS would certainly stop, but no.

AskWoody PlusI remember someone here telling me two or three months ago (when I registered surprise that Office 2010 updates were still appearing) that it was completely normal and what had happened with previous EOL products.
I wonder if they still feel the same way. It still seems odd to me, but increasingly so with every passing month.

For me too March 2021 patches installed with a little hiccup. Windows Update reported a KB5000802 download error.
I did not reboot, but just hit [Retry]. From then on everything proceeded normally.
Up to now no issues that I can see.

Looking in the MS Catalog under February 2021-02 displays MARCH updates once re-arranged by Last Updated.

AskWoody_MVPThe new Rollups (i.e. new Update ID) were pulled because they were causing frequent detection issue for .NET 4.6-4.8 patches (KB4579977 keps getting re-offered)
so they added the updated binaries to the old Rollups (i.e. old Update ID), which maintain their original titles, regardless revision date

Both refreshed rollups pulled
however, the updated files were added to the old rollups: 2021-02 (KB4603002), 2020-10 (KB4579977)

AskWoody PlusThese are the same .NET updates that have been released in February, but were rereleased yesterday. Maybe that is the explanation? However, this update appears as “2021-03” in WU, if you hadn’t installed it before.
I did notice an even weirder case though. KB4579977 in the catalogue: “2021-10” for Windows Server 2008 R2! Apparently MS can now time-travel 😉

AskWoody PlusFor those interested, KB4589212 is one of the microcode update patches for Windows 10 all versions from 1507 on. It showed up in the list of available patches to hide, and I promptly hid it where it will stay.
Although MS tried giving it to me, my research indicated that I didn’t need it, as my CPU wasn’t listed at all in any of the revised Intel bulletins nor in the lengthy list that Microsoft provides in KB4589212.
SO, before blindly accepting it and trying to install it, make darn sure it’s really for you…DON’T blindly take Microsoft’s “word” for it. Installing microcode that’s not meant for your individual processor doesn’t sound like a great idea to me, especially when the maker of you processor even says your processor doesn’t need the revised microcode.

AskWoody PlusInstalling microcode that’s not meant for your individual processor
My CPU, an i7-4810MQ, is NOT listed in KB4589212, though the i7-4800MQ is.
Now you tell me I should NOT have installed and then ruthlessly hidden microcode patch KB4589212.
There’s just a little problem: I saw and see NO option to reject and hide KB4589212.
I have NO list of available patches to hide, nor any way to hide patches.Confusing, isn’t it?

GuestIs the device’s OEM issuing any Firmware updates that may include the Intel micro-code patches there. Business laptops tend to get more OEM Love for Firmware updates and that firmware usually includes more up to date Intel Micro-Code there. But at least Windows 10, like Linux Always has, is got that Micro-Code via the OS shim update capability whereas 7/8.1 do not have an easy method of end user micro-code shimming available.

Strange … KB4589212 is listed in the MS Catalog, but only for 2004 and 20H2.
However, I am still on version 1909 and I found it waiting to be hidden in wushowhide.

AskWoody LoungerWindows 10 Home version 20H2 here (build no 19042.804) and I am not seeing KB5000802 either so far.
According to wushowhide I’m currently offered the microcode update (KB4589212), MSRT v5.87 and a trio of “Intel System” updates. Oddly enough, the Intel System updates keep showing up as “unhidden” even if I marked them for hiding in three consecutive wushowhide scans.
Does anyone know if there us a way for Windows 10 Home users to entirely skip the offer of these drivers (Intel Systems, etc.) through Windows Update?According to post #2349147 the answer is to use WUmgr or WUmt to hide driver updates.-

AskWoody_MVPBeware of the Windows 10 security updates. MS is patching a printer vulnerability again (first patch was in Dec. 2020). I received massive reports, that these updates are causing BSODs on printing. Reinstalling the printer driver should fix it – I’m not sure, if the updates are pulled (some users reporting, that the updates are no more offered, but there is nothing mentioned from MS).

AskWoody PlusKB5000802 update also breaks all the Kyocera Drivers. Only way to fix is to remove the update. What happens if you go to print and it’s tries to go to print preview windows crashes with blue screen of death and unhappy face 🙁
Need to pause updates to keep this from happening. I updated every form of Kyocera driver and this is the only fix.

AskWoody LoungerThanks for the information PK. Actually, I already have wushowhide (and use it regularly as part of my ‘patching process’), but for some reason it seems unable to hide two “Intel System” updates that are currently offered to my system. My question following Alex’ post was whether I should give preference to WuMgr (Update Manager for Windows) or WUmt (Windows Update MiniTool) between these two.

AskWoody LoungerI understand that the general consensus here is not to install the microcode updates even if your CPU is mentioned within the update. At this time I’d simply hide it, but before deciding whether to install it (or not) at a later time I would wait for some of the more experienced users here to drop their view on this.

GuestThe behavior of getting blank labels from a Dymo printer after installing the March update is documented in a post just above here. Post number 2349356. The solution is to uninstall the latest update for March. Although that post mentions KB5000808 specifically, the same probably holds true for KB5000802 as well. As of this writing, both patches have been pulled by Microsoft for printing problems that have caused Blue Screens Of Death for many machines, as documented in several posts just above this one.

GuestThere is an update that’s been offered for this month, but it has been pulled by Microsoft due to causing problems after being installed. The problems amount to not being able to print…if you try to print, Windows crashes and then reboots. Please see the majority of the posts above for further info.
Hopefully Microsoft will figure this out in the coming days or weeks to enable us to successfully install an update for this month that won’t crash our computers, especially since this month’s update was supposed to patch a security vulnerability in Windows 10 that’s currently being actively exploited!

GuestIt appears servicing stack updates (SSUs) are now included in the monthly cumulative updates according to the March CU description.
Is this correct? Does this mean there are no more standalone SSUs? Can CUs still be downloaded and installed manually from the update catalog without a separate SSU being installed first?

AskWoody LoungerThanks. I switched to Wumgr, it seems this tool has been more recently updated than WUmt and it works pretty nicely as far as I can tell. It sure is way more quicker with hiding patches compared to wushowhide, it just takes a click to do it compared to the several minutes of tinkering that it takes wushohide to hide (or unhide) patches.

Last night I did the March updates about 15 minutes after they came out (Berlin, Germany local time).
This afternoon I read here about the printing-related BSODs, so I tested printing on both of my machines.
I’m happy to report that both worked slicker’n snot.

AskWoody PlusQuick question – in light of the DEFCON 1 – would now still be a good time to set up getting Win 10 v2004 – while all other patches are either hidden in wuashowhide or withdrawn from Windows Update? I was hoping to let my 1909 laptop get moved to 2004, but with this latest DEFCON, I wasn’t sure if that upgrade is also on hold. Thanks!

AskWoody PlusWhat printer do you have? I don’t see HP printers reporting issues so if you have a consumer-ish HP you may be just fine
Quick question – in light of the DEFCON 1 – would now still be a good time to set up getting Win 10 v2004 – while all other patches are either hidden in wuashowhide or withdrawn from Windows Update?
My question was not about a printer – it is whether it is OK to try to set the laptop to get the v2004 upgrade now while we are at DEFCON 1 – and everything else is hidden from downloading? If OK I can start the process – if not, I’ll wait.
Thanks.

AskWoody LoungerI posted here with info and conclusion:
I repeat it here for your convenience:
re: W7 x64 KB5000841 March 2021 Quality Rollup
I have confirmed that this rollup _DEFINATELY_ has a bug that causes one of my dotNet 4 based applications to no longer display jpg images [and maybe other image types too, like png’s]. The app is Album Art Downloader, a long standing well debugged app, I’ve used it for years.
After this update the app would no longer display any pictures, just grey-box place-holders; when asked to save those images it saved perfectly fine files that could be viewed ok. So it’s a displaying-to-the-screen issue, not a network or file issue.
I thought the problem was the March dotNet 4.8 update, but it was not, since removing that did not fix things.
Instead removing KB5000841 solved the problem, the app now works normally again [and the March dotNet 4.8 updates _ARE_ still installed].
So, the March W7x64 Monthly is not ready for prime-time either…

AskWoody PlusRunning Win 10 Pro x64 ver 2004
Is there anyway to tell the original release of the March KB5000802 (on 3/9/21) from the re-issued KB5000802?
I received the original release and hid it via wushowhide on 3/9/21. On 3/10/21, after issues had surfaced, I checked my hidden items again and KB5000802 was gone. I never saw another KB5000802 in my Windows Updater today 3/11/21, so I checked wushowhide again and it appears again under hidden (even though I didn’t see it or hid it a second time).
So do I have the re-issued KB or did the original decide to re-appear in wushowhide?

AskWoody LoungerWe have Kyocera FS4200, P3050 and P3055. Also very lot of Zebra ZT410, ZM400 and ZD620. All have corresponding drivers from vendors installed on the printserver and no crash here, even WSUS shows, that KB 5000822 is installed on more than 90 workstations and other are qeued now.. Looks like we “survived this one”. 🙂 Wish you the same.

AskWoody PlusI am so grateful I found Ask Woody and all the great people here!
I am pretty sure my 3 AMD Ryzen Desktops don’t need Intel Microcode KB4589212, even though WU is determined to give it to me.
But I have the knowledge from here to avoid it.
Thanks All.

AskWoody Plusre: W7 x64 KB5000841 March 2021 Quality Rollup …The app is Album Art Downloader, a long standing well debugged app, I’ve used it for years. After this update the app would no longer display any pictures, just grey-box place-holders; when asked to save those images it saved perfectly fine files that could be viewed ok.
Hi javacat:
I don’t know if this is relevant, but many users had a similar problem in 2020 with the iTunes store where they would see a grey box as a placeholder instead of the album art. See my 29-May-2020 post on page 11 of Gray Boxes in iTunes Store – Windows describing how a solution posted <here> by okcameradude to change the high DPI settings in the iTunes.exe properties fixed the problem for most iTunes users. It’s possible the March 2021 KB5000841 includes an update for your Win 7 graphics components that is triggering a similar problem in Album Art Downloader, so if Microsoft doesn’t fix this in a future Win 7 SP1 Monthly Rollup you might want view the properties for your Album Art Downloader executable (look on the Compatibility tab) and see if it allows you to adjust the high DPI settings for this app.

AskWoody LoungerThanks for the tip. As of this time, the compatability tab doesn’t have a “Change High DPI” button, just the older checkbox to “disable display scaling…”. But I’ll keep this tip tucked away for future ref.
I have not heard anywhere of others with this or similar issue, perhaps it was just my bad experience, but removing KB5000841 did “fix” it, I will hold off trying that update again for 4 weeks or so and see what develops…

GuestMicrosoft have published some more information on the printer issue:
https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/release-health/status-windows-10-2004
A couple of extracts from this:
- “This issue affects a subset of Type 3 printer drivers and does not affect printer drivers that are Type 4.”
- “We are working on a resolution and estimate a solution will be available in the coming week.”

AskWoody LoungerI spoke too soon. When launching NiceLabel and opening label from network folder, I get BSOD. I can repeat this. When accessing labels from local disc, it works just fine. Hope it wont take long to release repair.

AskWoody PlusMove to Wumgr
If you use Wumgr, then do you still need to set a date, in the Advanced Windows’ Update Settings ( to pause WU), and use metered WiFi or does Wumgr alleviate those needs?

On Home version you still need ‘metered’ if you want to check what’s new and hide/install.
On Pro, setting GP : Notify… = 2 is enough.-

Hi radosuaf:
What is the current version and build of your Win 10 Pro OS at Start | Settings | System | About | Windows Specifications? Did the February 2021 Patch Tuesday cumulative update KB4601319 (OS Builds 19041.804 for v2004 or 19042.804 for v20H2) install successfully? Your CBS.log excerpt includes references to build 10.0.19041.867 but it’s hard to tell which build actually installed successfully.
I’m not an expert at reading CBS.log files but I noticed that there are multiple errors in your CBS.log file related to a “CBS_E_STORE_CORRUPTION” (e.g., Store corruption, manifest missing for package: Microsoft-Windows-IIS-WebServer-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.546; Store corruption, manifest missing for package: Microsoft-Windows-Printing-PremiumTools-Package~31bf3856ad364e35~amd64~~10.0.19041.572). According to the MS support article Error 0x800f0831 When You Install an Update, this error occurs when you install a cumulative update “because the update that can’t be installed requires the manifest of a previous update package” and recommends that you download those failed packages from the Microsoft Update Catalog and run them manually. However, someone else following this thread might be able to suggest a better way to resolve those store corruption errors.
In the mean time, you might want to run the free Belarc Advisor (currently v9.7, available at https://www.belarc.com/products_belarc_advisor) to build a profile of your system and see what missing Windows security updates this utility finds.

AskWoody PlusI decided it was time to see if KB5000802 would cause problems here. So far, no issues to report. I’ve printed a screen capture and a 2 pages of a 7 paged .pdf, in duplex, with no problems.
I’m running Windows 10 Pro 20H2 (winver says I’m at OS Build 19042.867). I have a Brother MFC-L3770CDW multi-function printer.
