Just a heads up – the recent replies widget has to be removed due to caching issues and performance issues it was causing.  Evaluating long term options but for now,  it has to go in order to keep the site in better shape.

Resolution: This is expected due to security hardening changes relating to Event Tracing for Windows (ETW) for CVE-2021-31958. This issue is resolved if the local and remote devices both have KB5003637 installed.

Patch both sides, and there’s no issue.

“Targeted” attacks are always a quandary for me.  Typically targeted attacks means some attacker has gone after a specific business and the attacks are not wide spread.  Do you remember the Exchange patch situation from a few months back?  That was a type of an attack that attackers pivoted from going after narrow/specific businesses to EVERYONE in a few short days.  I have yet to see that happening with these.  Ultimately it comes down to what you feel comfortable with.  Do you open PDFs on a regular basis?  Do you randomly surf?

I don’t recommend delaying updates to browsers. I don’t recommend delaying updates to a/v.  I still want to ensure there are no major side effects.  I’m still in test mode, I don’t see massive widespread attacks to make me change my mind.  I’ll let you know if I do.

What does the Bsod point to?  Have you run it through this:  https://www.nirsoft.net/utils/blue_screen_view.html

Can you pull that back from overclocking and try to see if it’s stable ?

Any hardware that is what I deem “edge cases” aka overclocking/gaming rigs Microsoft doesn’t test well on. 🙁

Normally systems like to wait until there is an “all clear” before being offered up the feature update.  So if you’ve just installed an update, give it a few days for the Microsoft overlords/telemetry to evaluate if it’s worthy again.

I’m using the “enterprise patching” view – none of these recent  .net include new security updates.

What platforms?  Not seeing that in my testing?

Wireless or wired?  Do you have another mouse you can try?

No new security updates are included in the .NET releases.

The download failed because the local user was denied authorization to download the content.

 

Do you have anything blocking downloads?

Is there anything in the event logs on the server itself?  It syncs okay (even if it doesn’t get new updates)?

LTSB Updates in WSUS? – Windows 10 – Spiceworks  You do have the 10 LTSB category checked right? (sorry stupid question I know but just making sure)
