Improvements and fixes

This non-security update includes improvements and fixes that were a part of KB4093118 (released April 10, 2018) and also includes these new quality improvements as a preview of the next Monthly Rollup update:

  • Windows Update and WSUS will offer this update to applicable Windows client and server operating systems regardless of the existence or value of the "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\QualityCompat\cadca5fe-87d3-4b96-b7fb-a231484277cc" registry setting. This change has been made to protect user data.

  • Addresses a stop error that occurred when the previous month’s update was applied to 32-bit (x86) computers with Physical Address Extension (PAE) mode disabled.
