  • ​​​​​​​[Windows Installer] When it repairs an application, the User Account Control (UAC) does not prompt for your credentials. After you install this update, the UAC will prompt for them.

Known issues in this update

Symptom

Workaround

After installing the Windows update released on or after July 9, 2024, Windows Servers might affect Remote Desktop Connectivity across an organization. This issue might occur if legacy protocol (Remote Procedure Call over HTTP) is used in Remote Desktop Gateway. Resulting from this, remote desktop connections might be interrupted.

This issue might occur intermittently, such as repeating every 30 minutes. At this interval, logon sessions are lost and users will need to reconnect to the server. IT administrators can track this as a termination of the TSGateway service which becomes unresponsive with exception code 0xc0000005.

This issue is addressed in KB5044293.
