I have two questions for you. Why are you using Internet Explorer 11?  Woody has been recommending for as long as I remember to use something else.  The second question is why are you applying the changes so quickly and not waiting for Woody to give the Ok on the updates after they have been out for a while.

If the person in question did not install this patch you would have not know that the patch has a problem.  So, when you finally decided to install the patch you might have ran into the problem.

Instead of telling the brave soul (by asking rhetorical questions) not to install patches, you should thank the early adopter for finding the issue and reporting it so you can avoid the problem patch.

Thank you, EverWilli whoever you are.

Woody’s abode is a sanctuary of wisdom on the internet, but not everyone out there knows about it.

All I can say is, I would NOT want to manage hundreds of Windows systems outside of a domain environment. Like that one person who posted saying he managed 300+ computers, some not connected to a domain (not sure how many). Yeah, he’s got a bit of a challenge on his hands.

I’m waiting for friends and family to call me about this. Thankfully I’ve got most of them using browsers other than IE.

This doesn’t just affect those who installed the patch. Those of us who develop software are dealing with supporting those who encounter this issue. The person you are supporting often doesn’t understand what happened or have the permission to rollback/opt out.

Being able to point the users to posts like this is a huge help.

Why install a rollup and not a security only if you cannot wait for the all clear?

NOBODY does proper regression testing on browser print functionality.

Why should they? I mean, come ON… The ONLY function of a browser is to render advertising, right? So if that works correctly, then we’re DONE. And besides… The change(s) we’ve made couldn’t POSSIBLY affect printing.

I’m curious if the Security Only Quality Update creates this issue as well. I’d guess it probably does, since it’s likely a security issue under the covers that was patched. The folks mentioning this issue appear to be using WUAU to receive the Monthly Quality Rollup rather than manually applying the Security Only Quality Update.

I’m also curious if Edge has this issue as well.

You might provide the URLs of some specific pages to test. I installed both KB 4021558 (IE11 Cumulative Security update for June) and KB 4022722 (Windows 7 x64 Security Only update for June). The updated machine runs Windows 7 professional. It drives an old HP 7310 AIO and prints the frames in the page of frame examples at

Seems like everyone is missing the root point here.  This is a absolute classic case of why these single update, all inclusive rollups always have been and still are such a terrible idea.  Here you have a minor,  nay almost trivial, printing issue caused by the rollup that requires the uninstallation the entire rollup package to correct,

This of course re-exposes the user to other severe problems / security issues that were addressed in said rollup for yet another month.  That re-exposure looks like this:
Operating System Distribution:

• Windows 7:  48 vulnerabilities of which 6 are rated critical, and 42 important
• Windows 8.1: 52 vulnerabilities of which 8 are rated critical, and the remaining 44 important
• Windows RT 8.1: 48 vulnerabilities of which 8 are rated critical, and 40 important
• Windows 10 version 1703: 45 vulnerabilities of which 7 are rated critical, and 38 important.

Windows Server products:

• Windows Server 2008:  45 vulnerabilities, of which 6 are rated critical, and 39 important
• Windows Server 2008 R2: 49 vulnerabilities, of which 6 are rated critical, and 43 important
• Windows Server 2012 and 2012 R2: 52 vulnerabilities, of which 8 are rated critical and 44 important
• Windows Server 2016: 57 vulnerabilities of which 7 are rated critical, and 50 important

Other Microsoft Products:

• Internet Explorer 11: 6 vulnerabilities, 3 critical, 3 important
• Microsoft Edge: 17 vulnerabilities, 11 critical,  5 important, 1 moderate, 1 low

Hmmmmm Very Interesting………………….

For all those folks that still somehow believe the BS about how much more secure Windows Spyware 10 is (it isn’t and never has been) the tale of the tape below shows a very different story:

 

Windows 7:  48 vulnerabilities of which 6 are rated critical, and 42 important
Internet Explorer 11: 6 vulnerabilities, 3 critical, 3 important

Versus

Windows 10 version 1703: 45 vulnerabilities of which 7 are rated critical, and 38 important.
Internet Explorer 11: 6 vulnerabilities, 3 critical, 3 important
Microsoft Edge: 17 vulnerabilities, 11 critical,  5 important, 1 moderate, 1 low

I hope there will soon be an out-of-band fix, either a rollback or a repair of just the cause of this particular problem. And, ideally, not requiring a restart.

Okay we got another MAJOR screw up with Security Only Quality Update KB4022722 (and most likely the Rollup too) in both x86 and x64 flavors.  After installling you get a “Item Not Found” popup when trying to rename folders which you can then click through and complete the rename clicking the “Try Again” button.

Note this has happened so many times before with updates it can be classed as a “Lather, Rinse, Repeat” screwup.  It’s probably just a matter of restoring the correct default Folder Descriptions in the registry but I haven’t tried that yet.

 

UPDATE * UPDATE * UPDATE

As I expected restoring the correct default Folder Descriptions in the Registry fixed the file rename issue

same here Noel. I’m not experiencing the folder problems ViperJohn is getting with KB4022719 on my Win7 SP1 computers (and I have manually downloaded & installed the standalone version of KB4022719 from MS Update Catalog – I don’t let Windows Update download & install KB4022719; I do it myself)

Yeah it would be better if ViperJohn would post the steps to reproduce the problem because I’m not getting it at all.

I got hit with it on four machines, all fully updated (Security Only not Rollups) Win 7 SP1 as follows:

1 of x64 Home Premium

2 of x86 Pro

1 of x64 Pro

All corrected after restoring the correct default Folder Descriptions in the Registry.  I have seen this happen so much / so ofter (100’s of times literally) that I have the default registry folder descriptions, in both x86 and x64 flavors, already prepared in “Folder Rename Fix.reg” files.  I just merge them to correct the issue and be on my merry way with just a right click and a confirm.

Hi ViperJohn,

I smartly held off on installing June’s Security Only Rollup. I would love to have your reg files. I want to test them to see if your reg files also resolve another longstanding issue which I have on a couple of my Win7 machines in which folder extensions are hidden in third party programs which have low level I/O disk access. It is a long story about this issue which is tied to the windows indexing service and a MS idiot programmer who claimed that nothing after a period in a folder name is valid in folder names, yet dot 3 folder names have been a feature of DOS since DOS 4.1 as I recall, or perhaps even in DOS 3.2?

Best regards,

–GTP

Actually I typo’ed the above.  The “1 of x64 Pro” was supposed to say “did not” have a folder rename issue after the update.  It is also only 6 weeks old with a very short, unconvoluted update history as well.  All the other installs are anywhere from 2 to 7 years old.

I have no problem emailing the Reg files to you.  They are just default registry key exports from a fresh x86 and x64 installs before they had the chance to get screwed up along the way.  Just need to know where to send em.

Would you please post these .reg files on this forum? Or at least list the registry location so we may export our current registry settings before applying the June update?

The Reg files are far to large (20+ pages for x86 and 40+ pages for x64) to post in the forum.  Ideally these registry keys and the data there-in should be exported from new fresh installs so everything is “factory correct”.  The data in the keys can and does get mucked up over time (3 or 4 times by a MS Windows 7 Update over the last 8 years alone).  An error in the data typically  shows up as “Folder Not Found” error on a Folder rename or creation.  Also a folder you know is there can also suddenly go invisible.

To this day I have no idea why some machines are effected and while others are not.  In this go round 3 of my systems came down with folder rename errors after June 2017 update install.  Merging the appropriate Reg file corrected all of them.  My 4th system (x64 Pro) had no problem with the June update at all (It did however need correction after the KB3172605 rollup during initial setup / updating). Go Figure!!!

For x86 Windows installs you want to export:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions]

.

For x64 Windows installs you want to export both:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions]

and

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\explorer\FolderDescriptions]

The only difference between x86 and x64 is the inclusion of the Wow6432Node key for x64 installs.  The data in the keys is the same for Home_Premium and Professional Editions.  I believe it is the same for Enterprise edition as well but I have never had an ENT install to check.

Okay we got another MAJOR screw up with Security Only Quality Update KB4022722 (and most likely the Rollup too) in both x86 and x64 flavors.

I have found another – after installing KB4022722 I found that I couldn’t move i.e. “cut” followed by “paste” files from my Downloads folder to an external HDD. I kept getting strange messages similar to “the specified location does not exist”. Uninstalling the patch didn’t solve matters, and I had to revert to an earlier system image. One post I saw on similar problems suggested using “Folder Fix” – which didn’t!

Any suggestions?

Reply | Quote

Did you try a System Restore to a point before the patch install?

Reply | Quote

Yes, I use imaging software rather than System restore – much more reliable! I then tried installing the full patch, rather than the security only version, and the same thing happens, so I re-imaged once more… I assume it’s probably a registry issue, but I’m not knowledgeable enough to delve into the relevant areas. A further thought – I normally view folders with “Q-Dir”, but I also tried to drag and drop directly from one Explorer folder to another. Doing that is O.K. – but this merely “copies” the source file, and I was then able to delete it. But If I hold down the “Shift” key and try dragging (which should move and then delete the original), I get the same error message. Similarly, highlighting a file, right clicking and choosing “cut”, then trying to “paste” it in another location results in error messages.

I should have said earlier that I’m running 32 bit Win7 Home Premium.

I too have KB4022722 installed, but have not been able to duplicate either the file rename problem, or the cut and paste problem from the downloads folder. This was tested on two different computers, one with Windows 7 x64 Pro, and the other with Windows 7 x64 Home Premium installed.

Folder / file move errors are another manifestation of the folder descriptions in the registry getting [wrec]ked.  I to have never had a previous “System Restore Point” correct the problem once they crop up.  That was one of the reasons I dumped System Restore and went to full off-line disk / logical drive image and restore.  There is literally nothing you can’t recover from with a drive image.

Create a Reg file by exporting the registry keys indicated above from a properly working installed image of the flavor of Windows you are running.  Re-install the June update then merge the Reg file you created and I would bet your “Cut and Paste” move issue is corrected.

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions]

I have exported this branch and it comes to 100KB – does that sound about right? I don’t want to keep re-imaging more than necessary!

Reply | Quote

I owe you guys (particularly ViperJohn) a huge vote of thanks – I re-installed KB4022722 and the file moving problem returned. The actual wording (I took a screenshot this time!) is:

Could not find this item

This is no longer located in E:\My Documents\Downloads. Verify the item’s location and try again.

 

I merged the saved Registry branch, and initially nothing changed. THEN I membered to reboot, and now I can copy/move/delete and also restore from the recycle bin. Rather annoyingly I noticed that “Libraries” had re-appeared – I hate this feature and keep removing it, but every so often an MS Update puts it back. I have a reg file from another forum which makes removing it easy.

I’ll know where to seek help next time!

For everyone’s info, as of this writing, June 16th 2017, 1900 Pacific Time, (17 June 0300 GMT/UT) MS is owning up to the printing faux pas in the bulletin for IE11 (KB4021558), and says that they’re looking into it and will release further details as they evaluate further. However, they DON’T say a thing about the printing issue on the bulletin for the monthly rollup (KB4022719). The rollup’s bulletin is still dated the 13th of June, so that explains why.

Woody,

Just a heads-up for others: I tested 4022719 on several sandbox systems, found no problems, and cleared it for installation on production systems. Yesterday I got a call from a CPA who suddenly couldn’t print forms from an IRS.GOV site. Uninstalling 4022719 solved that problem but created another: A pair of the user’s Intuit utilities would no longer run, complaining that they couldn’t find D3DCompiler_47.Dll. I reinstalled 4022719 which solved the D3DCompiler_47.dll problem but brought back the printing problem. I then used system restore to regress the system to before the installation of 4022719. That solved the printing problem but left the user vulnerable to the other problems 4022709 addresses. I will open a security-patch support ticket with MS Monday, but in the interim I’m now looking for patches I can apply manually to mitigate these other vulnerabilities.

People should know that if problems with 4027719 show up, a simple uninstall may not be an out; uninstalling it can have unintended consequences.

.Net 4.7 was a checked update for Win7 this Patch Tues. There was a problem with a missing D3DCompiler .Dll if it was installed without the Rollup. The .dll was supposed to be included in June Rollup for Win7 but not in the security-only patch. See https://www.askwoody.com/2017/net-framework-4-7-is-now-available-for-win7-sp1/
There were some other cautions also.
Perhaps the KB 4022719 and .NET4.7 installations are tied to the problems?

Yes that is correct.  That is the key for a x86 install and it will be 110K+ (about 20 pages printed out).

For an x64 system you need that same key plus the Wow6432Node key as well which another 110K+.

MS really botched the Net Framework 4.7 release from the gitgo.  You could get 4.7 (and I did) about 3 or 4 weeks ago.  The problem is 4.7 has a dependency on a DLL file (D3DCompiler_47.dll)  that  is normally not in a Windows 7 install as noted here:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4020302/the-net-framework-4-7-installation-is-blocked-on-windows-7-windows-ser

My understanding is that installing Net Framework 4.7 on a Win7 system from Windows Update  can also be problematic.  The needed D3DCompiler_47.dll may not get installed at all sometimes or worse yet get installed by the June rollup only to be uninstalled if the Rollup is taken out by a System Restore to correct other June update issues which then breaks Net-Fr 4.7.

For Windows 7 users you can get the needed D3DCompiler_47.dll by installing KB4019990 in either x86 or x64 flavors as required.  You can follow that up with KB3186497 which is the offline installer for Net Framework 4.7 if needed.

Thanks, but I’m not sure about this. I installed just the rollup, and then I installed NetFramework47 after that. The problem presented when the rollup was removed, and the problem went away when I reinstalled the rollup.

The correct response should have been “We will forward this info to the appropriate parties ASAP.” Viper

This makes me wonder if there isn’t a serious problem going forward: If this isn’t fixed, will the problem be included in future rollups? And does that mean that no one who has the problem can apply any future security fix?

Win7 Monthly Rollup KB 4022719 triggers printing problems in Internet Explorer
Only solution so far is to roll back the security patch.

Known issues in this security update
When you print a specific iframe or frame in a web page, the print output may be blank, or text is printed that resembles the following:
404 – Not Found
(A frame is a part of a web page or browser window that displays content independent of its container. A frame can load content independently.)
This problem has also been observed in both Internet Explorer 11, and in applications that host the IE Web Browser Control.
There is currently no workaround for this issue. However, if you print the entire web page, it will print correctly.
Microsoft is researching this problem and will post more information in this article when the information becomes available.
Cumulative security update for Internet Explorer: June 13, 2017

Windows 11 Pro version 22H2 build 22621.1778 + Microsoft 365 + Edge

The one microSoft links says “Won’t fix” and offers a work-around: use print preview for printing.

The other microSoft link says “We’ll work on this” and “there’s no known work-around”…

Just great.

I’ll do the update, as I always use the preview first. But really…

Susan Bradley recently said that the newest Windows updates are all safe to install (for Windows 7 users).  Yet, I hear about the iFrame printing issue after installation of KB4022719.  The bottom line…  should I install the recent Windows 7 updates, or should I wait?  (P.S.  I have no problem with waiting, as I usually do not install anything until Woody AND Susan Bradley both give the go-ahead.)

The DEFCON number is still 2 – which means WAIT.
I think it is the IE11 update contained in the Monthly Rollup that is the source of the problem.
Hopefully they will fix this in the near future – not wait till next month’s updates.
Wait a while longer – unless you like being a Guinea Pig.

Susan is probably right, because the printing issue is so obscure that it does not even deserve attention.
However, if you follow Woody and chances are that you do if you post here, wait for a little longer to have MS-DEFCON raised at 3 as above.

Thanks. I wasn’t going to address CH100’s comment because it was so bizarre,  but I guess I’ll have to.

I hope that, as everyone occasionally does, you dashed this off without thinking much about it, because what you’re saying is sort of like saying that West Nile Virus is obscure because, statistically, it infects very few people. If you’re one of the few it infects, it’s significant to you. There’s a line in Joseph Heller’s “Catch 22” (I hope I’m correctly remembering who says what) when Orr complains that the Germans are shooting at him. Yossarian says, “They’re not shooting at you–they’re shooting at everybody.” And Orr says, “Yes, but the bullets are hitting me.” Likewise, the printing bug may bite only a few, but its impact is significant to the user whose business depends on the ability to print IRS forms from the internet.

Thanks, Viper. When you say

Create a Reg file by exporting the registry keys indicated above from a properly working installed image of the flavor of Windows you are running

Do you mean this one? [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FolderDescriptions] I have exported this branch and it comes to 100KB – does that sound about right? I don’t want to keep re-imaging more than necessary!

Yes that is correct. That is the key for a x86 install and it will be 110K+ (about 20 pages printed out). For an x64 system you need that same key plus the Wow6432Node key as well which another 110K+. Viper

Oy–So I don’t have a clean machine from which to export Viper’s reg file, and it turns out System Restore didn’t solve the problem after all. The IRS doesn’t allow printing from other than IE, and Print Preview in IE prints only the initial “print from here” page.

S***wed. I did do a lot of sandbox testing, but as it turns out, not enough. I was concerned about exploits in the wild from the CIA/NSA hack, and that pushed me to install the rollup instead of holding off.

I can’t really blame MS. S***w me once, shame on you; s***w me twice, shame on me.

Okay we got another MAJOR screw up with Security Only Quality Update KB4022722 (and most likely the Rollup too) in both x86 and x64 flavors. After installling you get a “Item Not Found” popup when trying to rename folders which you can then click through and complete the rename clicking the “Try Again” button. Note this has happened so many times before with updates it can be classed as a “Lather, Rinse, Repeat” screwup. It’s probably just a matter of restoring the correct default Folder Descriptions in the registry but I haven’t tried that yet. UPDATE * UPDATE * UPDATE As I expected restoring the correct default Folder Descriptions in the Registry fixed the file rename issue Viper

My employer pushed the June Security only roll-up to my work machine today.  I installed it, and sure enough I got the “Item Not Found” error you describe.  I called the help desk and they made the very non-intuitive suggestion to run a repair on Microsoft Office.  I tried it and it actually solved this problem!

I have two questions for you. Why are you using Internet Explorer 11? Woody has been recommending for as long as I remember to use something else. The second question is why are you applying the changes so quickly and not waiting for Woody to give the Ok on the updates after they have been out for a while.

There are business reasons to use IE11. Some vendors require it to the exclusion of other browsers. For instance, the IRS allows only IE for CPAs needing professional-level access to IRS data.

Using Print Preview doesn’t always solve the problem.

myitforum.com is reporting that the printing issue affects Windows 7 & 10, and that MS is reporting that the issue is marked “won’t fix” by the Edge team, as well as an update to KB4021558 which indicates a fix is underway by the IE team.

So we can probably take it that “Won’t fix” is a response from the Edge team … as a result of not fully understanding the severity of the issue in the corporate space, or it simply being seen as “not our problem” maybe?

No surprise, but I’ve decided to wait for the IE11 team to solve the issue.

When you look at the Edge team link… “Won’t fix”… there was some angry responses. I don’t understand why the Edge team instead didn’t reply something like “we’ve passed the feedback and requests on to the IE 11 team” together with a link to them.

Why so arrogant?
