• Addresses an issue that causes certificate renewal to fail when using CERT_RENEWAL_PROP_ID with the ICertPropertyRenewal interface.

• Adds a new Group Policy setting called “Enable Windows to soft-disconnect a computer from a network”. This determines how Windows will disconnect a computer from a network when it determines that the computer should no longer be connected to the network.

  • If enabled, Windows will soft-disconnect (disconnection is not immediate or abrupt) a computer from a network.

  • If disabled, Windows disconnects a computer from a network immediately.

  • If not configured, the default behavior is soft-disconnect. For more information about soft-disconnect, see Understanding and configuring Windows Connection Manager.

• Addresses an issue that causes slow screen refresh rates when an application creates and destroys many child windows.

• Addresses an issue that causes Wdiwifi.SYS to stop working with the error “7E (0xc0000005)”. This issue occurs when a client device is roaming between wireless access points (WAP) that have the same BSSIDs on the 2.4 Ghz and 5 Ghz bands.
