Improvements and fixes

This non-security update includes quality improvements. Key changes include:

• Addresses an issue that displays a black screen when you use Remote Desktop to connect to a machine running Windows 10, version 1903.

• Addresses an issue that may prevent the Windows Sandbox from starting with the error, "ERROR_FILE_NOT_FOUND (0x80070002)." This occurs on devices in which the operating system language is changed during the update process when installing Windows 10, version 1903.

• Increases the number of supported interrupts per device to 512 on systems that have x2APIC enabled.

• Addresses an issue that prevents some Trusted Platform Module (TPM) devices from being used for Next Generation Credentials.

• Addresses an issue that causes a workstation to stop working when you sign in using an updated user principal name (UPN) (for example, changing UserN@contoso.com to User.Name@contoso.com).

• Addresses an issue that prevents Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) from running automated forensic data collection when using registry-based proxy configuration.

• Addresses an issue that prevents Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) from sending events for certain paths.

• Addresses a possible compatibility issue when Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP) accesses case-sensitive Server Message Block (SMB) shares.

• Addresses a rare issue that occurs when the mssecflt.sys driver takes too much space on the kernel stack. This results in the error, "STOP 0x7F: UNEXPECTED_KERNEL_MODE_TRAP", and Parameter 1 is set to “EXCEPTION_DOUBLE_FAULT.”

• Addresses an issue that leads to excessive memory utilization in Microsoft Defender Advanced Threat Protection (ATP).

• Improves the detection accuracy of Microsoft Defender ATP Threat & Vulnerability Management.

• Addresses an issue in which Windows Defender Application Control will not allow third-party binaries to be loaded from a Universal Windows Platform application. CodeIntegrity event error 3033 appears as, “Code Integrity determined that a process (<process name>) attempted to load <binary name> that did not meet the Store signing level requirements.”

• Addresses an issue that causes devices to have truncated device names when Autopilot provisioning automatically assigns a name to them.

• Addresses an issue in which the product description of Windows Server 2019 was incorrect when queried using slmgr /dlv.

• Addresses an issue that causes the Windows Management Instrumentation (WMI) class Win32_PhysicalMemory to report that 32 GB memory chips have a missing Capacity value.

• Addresses an issue that prevents you from copying and pasting compound documents (formerly OLE objects) between an application that hosts the RichEdit control and other applications.

• Addresses an issue that prevents certain games from leveraging Spatial Audio capabilities.

• Addresses an issue that fails to provide a cursor when you select a text input element using touch.

• Prevents the appearance of blank tiles in the Start menu when you upgrade to Windows 10, version 1903 from any previous version of Windows 10. These blank tiles have names such as “ms-resource:AppName” or "ms-resource:appDisplayName". However, if you have already upgraded to Windows 10, version 1903, installing this update will not remove existing blank tiles.

• Addresses an issue that may prevent the personal identification number (PIN) prompt from appearing when authenticating in Internet Explorer.

• Addresses an issue with downloading digital rights management (DRM) files from certain websites using Microsoft Edge and Internet Explorer.

• Improves the user experience and app compatibility so that more Win32 apps will work with Windows Mixed Reality.

• Addresses an issue that causes group membership changes in Active Directory groups to fail. This occurs if the Lightweight Directory Access Protocol (LDAP) client uses the Security Identifier (SID) Distinguished Name (DN) syntax after installing previous versions of NTDSAI.DLL. In this scenario, an issue with the LdapPermissiveModify (LDAP_SERVER_PERMISSIVE_MODIFY_OID) control causes Active Directory to incorrectly return a “SUCCESS” status even though the group membership change did not occur.

• Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from starting when they start up using Preboot Execution Environment (PXE) images from Windows Deployment Services (WDS) or System Center Configuration Manager (SCCM). The error is, "Status: 0xc0000001, Info: A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed."

• Addresses an issue that may prevent devices from starting up or cause them to continue restarting if they are connected to a domain that is configured to use MIT Kerberos realms. Domain controllers and domain members are both affected.

• Addresses an issue that may cause the following to stop responding:

  • Applications that were made using Visual Basic 6 (VB6).

  • Macros that use Visual Basic for Applications (VBA).

  • Scripts or apps that use Visual Basic Scripting Edition (VBScript).

You may also receive an "Invalid procedure call” error.

• Addresses an issue that causes excessive central processing unit (CPU) usage when users switch applications or hover over the Taskbar.

• Allows auditing of security events for clients managed by mobile device management (MDM) for security monitoring and incident response activities.
